class=\"smile-section__title\">Examples of DX tools by industry<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading smile-subheading\">Logistics:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The logistics industry faces a host of challenges, with labor shortages becoming especially severe in business-to-business logistics, a market estimated at 30 trillion yen. Some projections also indicate that by 2030, around 35% of freight may no longer be transportable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, logistics operations have seen little progress in solving these issues for decades. Because various stakeholders, including shippers and logistics providers, are involved and information is still exchanged through analog processes, the challenge is that logistics data remains disconnected across the entire ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMILE provides DX solutions that address challenges like these in the logistics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By digitally connecting shippers, logistics providers, warehouses, and other stakeholders involved in logistics, and by leveraging accumulated logistics data, we enable greater visibility and optimization across business-to-business logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading smile-subheading\">Construction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the construction industry, heavy reliance on paper-based drawings and documents for project management delays information sharing and increases the risk of misunderstandings and rework. Paper records are also easily damaged by on-site conditions, making real-time data analysis and rapid decision-making difficult and ultimately affecting project efficiency and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMILE provides DX solutions that address challenges like these in the construction industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By digitally connecting communication between worksites and managers, and by moving paper-based tasks and internal analog workflows online, we help improve construction operations and optimize project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading smile-subheading\">Manufacturing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s manufacturing industry, many companies are unable to fully demonstrate their true development and technical capabilities for a variety of reasons, including being overwhelmed by quotation and administrative work, lacking sales capabilities, and having limited access to information and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMILE provides DX solutions that address challenges like these in the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through system development that leverages digital technologies, we support DX in the manufacturing industry by improving the accuracy of quotation processes, optimizing supply chains, standardizing manufacturing processes, and streamlining procurement operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading smile-subheading\">Healthcare:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The healthcare industry faces major challenges such as physician shortages and disparities in access to medical care in regional areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMILE provides medical DX solutions that address social challenges like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We help build environments that enable patients to access healthcare services from home or the workplace by leveraging the internet and digital technologies. This streamlines communication between medical institutions and patients and improves the quality of healthcare services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the introduction of online consultations and digital healthcare services is expected to help ease physician shortages and improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients can access medical services from home, which helps strengthen regional healthcare and reduce the burden of hospital visits. Digitalization also streamlines clinical workflows, helping to shorten wait times and reduce infection risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading smile-subheading\">Nursing care:<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"smile-summary-flow\"><article class=\"smile-summary-flow__item\"><span class=\"smile-summary-flow__index\">01<\/span><p class=\"smile-summary-flow__body\">In recent years, Japan\u2019s nursing care industry has faced a worsening labor shortage as the aging population drives up demand for care workers faster than providers can secure staff. This shortage creates a vicious cycle: heavier workloads and increased stress for care workers, which can ultimately lead to resignations.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"smile-summary-flow__item\"><span class=\"smile-summary-flow__index\">02<\/span><p class=\"smile-summary-flow__body\">To address these challenges in the care industry, SMILE provides care-focused DX solutions. By building operational management systems that use smartphones and cloud platforms, SMILE creates an environment where care service status can be monitored in real time. It also helps reduce the workload of care staff and improve operational efficiency by digitizing work records, service time management, shift management, and related tasks.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"smile-summary-flow__item\"><span class=\"smile-summary-flow__index\">03<\/span><p class=\"smile-summary-flow__body\">In addition, cloud-based data management promotes paperless operations and
