March, 2022
The era in which パラダイスカジノ becomes essential
According to a survey on the status of corporate パラダイスカジノ initiatives ("Study of Impact of Digital Transformation on Economy," Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, 2021), over 40% of companies have already started implementing パラダイスカジノ-related measures In 2020, the year when COVID-19 pandemic began, nearly 40% of companies increased their IT investment budgets, including パラダイスカジノ, compared to 2019 (Japan Users Association of Information Systems, "Corporate IT Trend Survey Report 2021"), and started implementing remote work, digitalization of internal communication tools, online recruitment and business negotiations, and other パラダイスカジノ-related measures
Digital technologies make the world better
パラダイスカジノ means transformation through the use of digital technology The concept was proposed in 2004 by Professor Erik Stolterman of Umeå University in Sweden, who described パラダイスカジノ by saying that "the changes that the digital technology causes or influences in all aspects of human life"
Implemented over 400 projects in three categories
Since the Toyota Tsusho Group is engaged in many businesses that generate revenue by standing on the frontlines and working together with customers, the need for and expected effects of operational and business reform through パラダイスカジノ are high We aim to maximize the added value of existing businesses, create new value, and improve our competitive advantage through the use of new digital technologies, in addition to realizing lean management by improving operational efficiency and reducing costs through the digitization and automation of analog operationsAs an organizational initiative to accelerate パラダイスカジノ, the パラダイスカジノ Acceleration Department, a company-wide organization dedicated to パラダイスカジノ, was established in April 2020, and 434 パラダイスカジノ projects are in progress (as of June 2021), covering all businesses and internal operations, divided into the following three categories according to level and purpose of パラダイスカジノ initiatives
The Group's パラダイスカジノ steadily taking shape
Let's take a look at examples of the Group's ongoing パラダイスカジノ initiatives in each categories of DX10, DX15, and DX20
Seven companies jointly established a trading platform
Trade operations generate numerous procedures, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive due to them being paper-based and manual work In addition, it is ideal to create an environment in which information can be exchanged regardless of industry boundaries in order to ensure accurate, safe, and speedy operations, since trade involves not only importers and exporters, trading companies, and transportation companies, but also financial institutions and customs officesIn response, seven companies, including Toyota パラダイスカジノ, have jointly established a cross-industry consortium The consortium developed "TradeWaltz®," a trade information sharing platform that utilizes digital technology With the replacement of paper with digital data as a foothold, we will build a new normal for trade operations
Invested in a vehicle inspection service business that utilizes AI image analysis
Previously, visual inspections of automobiles were performed visually by human inspectors However, the drawback was that the accuracy varied depending on the inspector Especially in Japan, with its declining population, there was a need for a new method to address the shortage of inspectorsIn order to solve this problem, Toyota パラダイスカジノ invested in UVeye, an Israeli company that has developed an automatic vehicle inspection system The company has acquired the rights to sell UVeye's equipment and services, which can both significantly reduce inspection time and address the problem of labor shortages, and is working as a business partner to expand sales of its services to the automotive industry and other sectors
Developing a drone delivery business to eliminate logistics disparities
Opportunities for the use of drones continue to increase, including aerial filming, pesticide spraying, infrastructure inspections, and logisticsToyota パラダイスカジノ has caught on to this trend and invested in Zipline International Inc, a company involved in the drone medical delivery business in Africa and the United States, in 2018 In Ghana, Zipline International Inc has experience in delivering medical supplies imported and wholesaled by the Toyota パラダイスカジノ Group to medical institutions, and in Japan, the company aims to contribute to reducing labor shortages, supplementing logistics networks, and eliminating disparities in access to medical care through drone delivery to depopulated areas and remote islands
Digital X Lab eliminates barriers to realizing hypotheses
What drives パラダイスカジノ worldwide is the evolution of digital technology Therefore, in パラダイスカジノ initiatives, it is necessary to accelerate the validation of operational efficiency and new business development in line with the speed of this evolutionWhile more than 400 パラダイスカジノ projects are underway within the Toyota Tsusho Group, we have also seen issues such as stagnation in hypothesis generation remaining merely theoretical, and lack of progress in cultivating empathy with stakeholders during operation transformation and business creation In order to solve this problem, Toyota Tsusho established the Digital X Lab in 2021, which provides support from engineers and business producers specializing in various fields such as DBPR, data analysis, and UI/UX design, to create a tangible form of transformation ideas through prototyping in a few weeks to a month, thenconduct agile validation of the hypotheses with stakeholders in order to accelerate パラダイスカジノ
パラダイスカジノ has become one of the most important keywords for corporate growthToyota Tsusho does not see パラダイスカジノ as an end goal, but rather as a means to create value that is unique to Toyota Tsusho, and we will continue striving to "Be the Right ONE" for our customers
