Unparalleled Business Coverage with No Customization

　This report states the following
The greatest feature of "HUE" is that it provides the functions desired by user companies on a "no-customization" basis, i.e., requirements that are lacking in the standard functions of "HUE" are added as standard functions rather than developed individually as add-ons. In addition, because there are no add-ons, there is no need for individual additional work to comply with legal revisions or to modernize the system. The system has more than 6,700 standard functions suited to Japanese business practices for existing user companies, and has a high business coverage with a 97% fit & gap rate (conformance rate) for RFPs (Request for Proposals). Another strength of the ERP package is that it was developed by a domestic vendor and can be adapted to Japanese business practices as well as to domestic legal revisions quickly and flexibly according to the client's situation.
