Comments from Mr. Takashi Urata
We were satisfied with the functions of HUE Classic, which we had been using, but we decided to upgrade to HUE in order to promote DX in the future and to more smoothly comply with the Electronic Bookkeeping Act and other legal revisions. With regard to the newly introduced HUE DI, WAP was able to quickly reflect our requirements in the system, and we believe that we were able to realize a paperless system and more efficient checking operations using AI-OCR in a way that suits our business processes. As a user of HUE, we will continue to frequently exchange opinions with WAP and promote DX using HUE, which we expect will enable us to realize flexible corporate management in response to changes in society.
