Obic Consultants Expand Partnership with Hokkaido Bank

Obic Business Consultants Co., Ltd., which develops and sells core business systems such as Kanjo Bugyo and Bugyo Cloud, is pleased to announce that it has established a collaborative system with The Hokkaido Bank, Ltd. that utilizes the core business system “Bugyo Cloud” to support the digital transformation (hereinafter referred to as DX) of medium-sized and small businesses in the Hokkaido region.

In Hokkaido, issues related to the sustainable growth of the local economy are becoming apparent, such as a labor shortage due to a declining birthrate and aging population, and the issue of corporate succession. In order for local companies to maintain and strengthen their competitiveness in this environment, it is essential to promote digital transformation with the aim of improving business efficiency and strengthening their management base.

As a locally-based financial institution, Hokkaido Bank has been strengthening its system for supporting problem-solving through DX while working closely with corporate management issues. Meanwhile, OBC has been working with regional financial institutions across the country to help companies improve their business efficiency and management capabilities through Bugyo Cloud.

This collaboration aims to provide more effective support for the management challenges faced by companies in Hokkaido by combining the two companies’ deep understanding of local businesses and expertise in business digital transformation. Rather than being limited to providing simple tools, the aim is to revitalize the local economy and realize a sustainable society through accompanying support tailored to each company’s growth stage.

Initiatives and collaborative structure

Through this collaboration, the following initiatives will be implemented, primarily with Hokkaido Bank‘s client companies:

・Support for digitalization of business operations using “Bugyo Cloud” (accounting, human resources, sales management, etc.)
・Holding joint seminars and study sessions by both companies
・Proposing solutions in line with system reforms and industry trends
・Support for business improvement and DX implementation according to the growth stage of local companies

This will improve the operational efficiency and strengthen the management capabilities of local companies, contributing to the revitalization of the Hokkaido economy.
