HUE Purchase" Begins Offering 3-Month Installation Support Pack for Medium-Sized Companies
2022/07/05
(Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masahiko Miyahara; hereinafter "WAPE"), a group company of Works Applications, Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Masahiko Miyahara, President & CEO; hereinafter "WAPE") will begin offering a "3-Month Introduction Support Pack" for the HUE Purchase purchasing management system to support the short-term introduction of the system. In conjunction with the launch of this package, WAPE will also launch a campaign on July 5 (Tuesday) to waive a portion of the initial cost.
Background of the Campaign
Despite the recent change in awareness of DX, Japanese purchasing operations, from the circulation of internal applications to the sending of order forms and acceptance inspection, are still strongly based on the use of faxes and stamps.
One of the reasons for this is the delay in digitalization in the purchasing area. Analog business processes remain in many companies because they have not introduced purchasing systems in the first place, or because the systems introduced in the past have become legacy. As a result, purchasing/procurement departments are busy with unproductive tasks, and strategic tasks such as procurement price optimization have been put on the back burner.
WAPE has therefore launched a new HUE Purchase offering plan that can be easily introduced by mid-sized companies, based on the know-how we have cultivated through the introduction of purchasing systems for major companies. We will contribute to the DX promotion of not only large companies but also medium-sized companies by reducing the cost and implementation load for systemization and breaking away from legacy systems.
Features of the "3-Month Introduction Support Pack
HUE Purchase is a purchasing management system that has been implemented by many of Japan's leading companies in all industries, including manufacturing, retail, services, railroads, and educational institutions. The "3-Month Introduction Support Pack," which we will begin offering this time, provides an initial workflow based on the best practices of major companies, enabling you to achieve operational efficiency and system renewal in a short period of time.
Support for quick implementation in 3 months by using the pre-configured flow
When introducing a purchasing management system that covers the entire process from purchase request, order placement, to acceptance and acceptance inspection at medium-sized and large companies that require internal control, it generally takes more than six months due to the time required for interviews, configuration, and development in order to build a system that matches the company's business. The "3-Month Introduction Support Pack" significantly shortens the time required for hearings and setup, etc., and enables early system renewal by introducing HUE Purchase, a packaged software that does not require individual development for each customer, on the premise that the initially configured workflow is used as-is. This will help to realize the system renewal as soon as possible.
No add-on development required. Business improvement is also possible through the best practices of major companies.
The pre-configured workflow reproduces the best practices of major companies, and can be introduced as-is to improve operational efficiency. For example, the system streamlines the work of both the field and the purchasing department by digitizing all processes from application from the field to the sending of order forms, and visualizing the progress status of projects in real time.

|---|---|
| Eligibility/Conditions | For companies considering the introduction of a purchasing management system in all industries and company sizes |
| Overview |
We will offer the "introduction support fee" as part of the initial cost at zero yen on the premise that you use the "3-Month Introduction Support Pack", in which HUE Purchase is built using the standard workflow defined by WAPE. *Mainly (1) license fee and (2) introduction support fee are incurred as initial costs. In this campaign, the "introduction support fee" will be reduced. The amount of reduction will vary depending on the size of the company and the scale of the business, but a maximum of approximately 5 million yen will be reduced from the initial cost. |
| Period | Customers who have completed the quotation by September 30, 2022 (Friday) |
*If you purchase the "3-Month Implementation Support Pack," we will propose a schedule that enables implementation in 3 months, based on the assumption that the standard workflow defined by WAPE is followed as is. If requirements not included in the standard workflow are required, we will provide an individual estimate at the time of proposal. HUE Purchase is a packaged software that is implemented by the client on their own initiative, and since we are in a position to support the implementation of the software, we are not obligated to complete the implementation. Therefore, the implementation period is subject to change depending on the project status.
