Problem
Japan's manufacturing sector, particularly its small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) known as "machikoba" (town factories), is declining, with over 50% of these factories having closed in the past 30 years. These businesses often rely on inefficient, paper-based or fragmented document management processes that hinder productivity and competitiveness in the global market.

By digitizing and organizing these critical workflows, Fact Base aims to support the development and digital transformation of SMEs in the manufacturing industry, helping them become more efficient and competitive.
