Representative Director and CEO: Takaharu Nakajima), whose mission is to “make the world of construction as smart as possible,” has launched the resource management cloud “Photoruction Site.” Released. This is a cloud service that aims to greatly reduce the time and effort required to create and manage documents necessary before starting the construction phase, such as labor safety documents and construction plans, and to coordinate with partner companies. In conjunction with this release, the official name of the cloud service “Photoruction” that we have been providing will be changed to “Photoruction Build.” From now on, Photoruction Build and Photoruction Site will be provided together as Photoruction, a construction production support cloud.

However, the length of the period and the involvement of many companies tend to make the work complex. Therefore, although Photoruction has improved efficiency in the construction phase, there are still many operations that cannot be addressed. In particular, the documents created before construction contain a lot of resource information related to the construction project, the cost of coordination is high, the work itself is complicated, and there are still many issues. I am. In order to solve a series of issues, Photoruction decided to release “Photoruction Site” as a cloud service that can centrally manage resources for construction projects. Because it contains a lot of information used in construction, it is highly compatible with Photoruction Build, which has already been used in over 300,000 construction projects, and we will continue to create value improvements for the entire Photoruction platform. I’m coming. Photoruction Site Service site https://www.photoruction.com/site Features of Photoruction Site ■Improve productivity in
document-related work In the construction industry, many documents are created and organized before construction begins, including labor safety documents and construction plans. In addition to the wide variety of information that must be filled out in the documents, it is also necessary to quote from scattered information, which is extremely inefficient without a dedicated system. On the other hand, there are many inflexibilities when using a system, and it is true that there are cases in which it is less time-consuming to edit documents directly using general-purpose software such as Excel or on paper. Photoruction Site uses a unique method called “DLD (Databased Document View)*” to achieve both efficiency as a system and ease of use as a document. *It is still under development at the time of release. ■ Significantly reduce pre-adjustment costs with partner companies Creating construction-related documents requires information held not only by your company but also by multiple companies involved in the project. We communicate with subcontractors by phone and email to gather information, but it is a time-consuming process for the company that is the main contractor or primary contractor for the construction work because there are many subcontractors. Even if you use the system, it will take a lot of effort to deploy it, such as issuing accounts for subcontractors and having them learn how to use it. Therefore, Photoruction Site provides a mechanism that can be easily used between multiple companies while ensuring security without registering an account. Of course, registering an account will make it even more convenient, and one of its features is that it can be used conveniently not only by primary contractors but also by construction companies that primarily work as primary contractors. ■Building a database regarding field resources Documents contain a lot of information about a construction project. In particular, labor safety documents and construction plans contain a lot of information about site resources, and if they can be compiled into a database, they can be effectively used in management and project management.
Additionally, data can be transferred to other documents, leading to further reduction in workload. However, since the information handled is diverse, it is extremely difficult for the construction industry to build its own database. Photoruction Site maintains information about field resources as a master database from the beginning, and allows each company to customize it. Furthermore, with the unique function of linking documents using DLD, it is possible to build a database while creating documents, making it possible to efficiently create a database that would normally take a lot of man-hours. Main features ■Project management You can manage data related to each construction project (construction site). Even within the company, it is possible to manage the system in accordance with the construction industry’s practices, such as restricting viewing to specific users and setting an administrator for each project.

Equipped with an automatic input function from databases related to companies and projects, and a function to check input data, it enables efficient document creation. *Some functions are still under development at the time of release.

In addition to being able to exchange data and request document creation from partner companies with a single URL, users of partner companies can use Photoruction Site securely without registering an account or signing a contract. In addition, if you are not familiar with using the system, you can provide your company’s document format and have it uploaded as a PDF, so there is no need for any prior coordination for joint use, and coordination costs can be greatly reduced.

By displaying the composition of companies participating in a project and information on each company in an easy-to-read manner, it reduces the time and effort required to create construction system charts and realizes efficient system management of projects.

Not only your own documents but also documents collected from partner companies can be centrally managed with status management. In addition to being compatible with the latest version of the widely used Zenken Uniform Form as standard, it also allows highly flexible support such as changing the database used by each company and customizing document formats.

By acquiring information from the database when creating documents related to labor safety and construction plans*, we can semi-automate the creation. In addition, documents can be reflected in a database, so a database can be automatically constructed just by performing normal business operations. The database structure can be customized for each company, allowing it to be used in line with current operations and future data strategies. *It is still under development at the time of release.

The standard plan is to support 70 types of work, with reference to the format provided by the Japan Federation of
Construction Contractors. In addition, as with the labor safety function, we plan to gradually support non-standard formats. Since a database is constructed at the same time as document creation, project data can be accumulated efficiently. ■BPO From October 2022, we have released a BPO function that can be used via the cloud from
Photoruction Build, a construction BPO. We have been able to improve the productivity of tasks that are difficult to do with software alone, reduce initial costs, and improve convenience, but we are also planning to make improvements to the Photoruction Site so that you can use related BPO menus in the same way. Masu. We provide the experience of easily automating desk work and coordination work centered on labor safety and construction planning by using BPO functions. Please note that the “Construction Plan Creation Support” menu already provided by Photoruction Build will continue to be available even after the BPO function of Photoruction Site is released. Voices from early adopters Photoruction Site has been offered as a beta version to a limited number of companies. We have received feedback from users that their productivity has improved, and we hope that further functional enhancements will result in a highly effective solution in the future. “Although we were using other apps, we had to make a lot of
coordination with partner companies before deploying them, and it ended up taking a lot of effort to follow up with companies that didn’t use them.Although it’s not zero, Photoruction Site It can be said that productivity has definitely increased as the labor has been significantly reduced.” 40’s Construction management “Up until now, I had been managing it in Excel, but being able to manage it centrally is very helpful.It is also good to be able to use it from the primary starting point, and sometimes it is entered separately for the main contractor and the primary I hope that it will continue to grow as a unique service.” 30s Manager About introduction Photoruction Site has a monthly fee based on the number of users.
