Unleash the potential of manufacturing

Founded: 2017             HQ: Japan            CEO: Yushiro Kato

The manufacturing industry is Japan’s core industry, boasting a gross domestic product of 180 trillion yen. In fact, about 120 trillion yen is accounted for by the cost of parts procurement.  Despite having such a large proportion, the procurement sector has not undergone major innovation for more than 100 years. In particular, in parts procurement in the high-mix low-volume production industry (large-scale transportation equipment, industrial machinery, medical equipment industry, etc.), which accounts for about one-third of the total, unstable ordering, labor required for ordering and quoting, and procurement.

There were various social issues on both the ordering side and the ordering side, such as the cost and the high deficit ratio on the production side. By solving these problems, we believe that manufacturers around the world, not just in Japan, will be able to focus on higher value-added work and maximize the potential of the manufacturing industry as a whole. From there, Caddy was the first in the world to develop “CADDi,” a service that connects orderers of custom-made products and processing companies nationwide using automatic quotation technology.
