Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

You know what "Construction DX" is, right? lol

Construction DX refers to, By introducing digital technologies such as AI into the construction industry, To improve operational efficiency and address the challenges facing the construction industry.

We are also promoting digitization on-site, including electronic submissions and digital photo albums,

I've been exchanging documents via email.

 

But, you know.

I haven't done the part I should have done first!!

This is an essential part for every company!!

And it's still on paper!

And to top it all off, they told me to stamp it, lol

You're talking nonsense.

Can you guess what this is?

This is it lol

Here is the invoice.

 

Businesses that have embraced digitalization already receive invoices via email, and we send them that way as well.

Alternatively, there are options such as downloading an invoice.

From a subcontractor’s perspective, sending invoices is important, but it’s also a very costly process, isn’t it?

 

However, digitization has brought the benefit of being able to send them via email.

I wonder what kind of vendor wouldn't accept that, lol

 

To begin with, an invoice is,Documents Based on Mutual AgreementThat's the reason.

In our construction business, we receive progress reports from the general contractor.

This is an instruction to file a claim in response to that.

We will send an invoice for that.

Since we’ve already agreed that a seal isn’t necessary here.

We don't require you to have a personal seal.

After all, we’re living in an era where even the government says we don’t need personal seals anymore, you know~

However, since it would feel a bit bland without one, I'll add a digital seal and send it via email.

These days, sending invoices by email is more than enough, isn't it?

 

But what's even worse than that is a company that makes you buy a booklet of special invoices lol

This is pretty bad, huh? lol

Generally, a book of special-purpose invoices costs about 500 yen.

You have to write this by hand.

It's that carbon-copy thing!

 

Generally speaking, I think it’s fine for large companies to use dedicated invoices due to their computer systems.

That's more efficient from a system perspective.

As long as the Excel template for the dedicated invoice is correct, there's no problem at all!

But what do you think about handwriting??

That's just crazy these days, isn't it? lol

That’s because something like that happened the other day, and deep down I thought, “！！！！"That's what I thought, lol," I thought.

It looks like I'll be writing a handwritten invoice for the first time in decades.

 

The larger a company is, the more we understand how difficult it is to replace its systems.

However, I think you also understand that, overall, we have no choice but to move in that direction.

But I guess there’s probably strong opposition from the General Affairs and Administrative departments, huh?

It’s something we small-time business owners don’t really understand, but the world is undergoing a digital transformation!

We are living in an era where digital technology is expected to boost productivity.

 

I hope it happens as soon as possible.

It’s always the subcontractors who have to start right away, whether they like it or not, when they’re told to, and

We have no choice but to go along with it, but,

It’s often the case that top-tier companies and government agencies issue directives but fail to follow through on implementing them, isn’t it?

Just a little rant lol

 

See you later.
