Integration services for Japanese businesses

What we offer

Three services,
each with a defined scope.

Each of the services below addresses a specific type of integration work. They are independently scoped and priced, with fixed timelines, defined deliverables, and complete documentation at handover.

How to read this

Each service is designed to stand alone

You can engage one service, two, or all three — depending on where the friction is in your operations. There is no dependency between them. The price and timeline for each is stated clearly below. All three follow the same working pattern: field mapping, build, parallel validation, and documented handover.

Service 01

Systems Connection Work

Many organisations operate a well-established core system alongside a set of newer applications introduced over time. These tools work well individually, but getting information between them requires staff to copy data manually — from one screen to another, from a spreadsheet to a system, from one format to another.

This service builds the connection between those systems so that information passes between them on its own. The work involves mapping how fields in one system correspond to fields in another, defining what happens when records don't match, and running a reconciliation check on a schedule to surface anything that needs attention.

The connection is yours after handover — documented, trained on, and operable without us.

What the eight weeks look like

1

Weeks 1–2: Discovery and mapping

We meet with the staff who operate both systems and document how data is structured in each. The field map is produced and reviewed with you before build begins.

2

Weeks 3–5: Build

The connection is built according to the agreed map, including interface handling, error routing, and the reconciliation schedule.

3

Weeks 6–7: Parallel running

The connection runs alongside the existing manual process. Results are compared until they match consistently across live operations.

4

Week 8: Handover

Documentation is reviewed, staff are trained, and the ownership panel is produced. The manual process is retired.

This service is suited to

Companies operating a long-established core system — such as an ERP, accounting platform, or inventory management system — alongside newer tools introduced for specific purposes, where data currently moves between them manually or not at all.

Service 02

Quality Inspection Support

Manual inspection on a production or packing line is thorough but requires consistent attention across a full shift. Fatigue affects catch rates. High-volume lines with consistent product presentation are a reasonable context for adding an image-based checking layer alongside the human inspector — not to replace them, but to provide a second set of eyes that doesn't tire.

This service implements that additional layer. It starts with sample collection across defect categories relevant to your product, sets detection thresholds in consultation with your quality staff, and integrates with your existing reject handling process. Manual inspection continues throughout the trial period and beyond — the decision about when or whether to adjust staffing remains entirely with you.

At the end of the twelve weeks, you receive measured detection rates by defect category, a defined escalation procedure for items the system is uncertain about, and complete documentation for operating and adjusting the system.

What the twelve weeks look like

1

Weeks 1–3: Sample collection

We collect samples across defect categories from your production line. Thresholds are set in discussion with your quality staff, not imposed from outside.

2

Weeks 4–6: Implementation and integration

The image-based checking layer is implemented and integrated with your existing reject handling. Manual inspection continues in full.

3

Weeks 7–11: Trial period

Both layers run together. Detection rates are measured per defect category. Threshold adjustments are made based on observed results. Escalation procedure is defined for uncertain items.

4

Week 12: Handover

Measured rates are reported by category. Documentation and training are completed. Ownership panel is produced. Manual inspection remains active.

This service is suited to

Small manufacturers with consistent product presentation — items that look substantially the same under normal conditions — and with defect categories that are visually distinguishable. It is not suited to highly variable product formats or defect types that cannot be detected visually.

Service 03

Reporting Automation

Monthly and quarterly reports assembled by hand are a common source of accumulated effort and accumulated error. The figures are pulled from several systems, formatted into a familiar layout, checked against each other, and then sent. When different departments calculate the same figure differently — using different date boundaries, different inclusion criteria, different rounding conventions — the discrepancies surface at the checking stage and have to be resolved each time.

This service replaces the manual assembly with an automatically produced version drawn from the same source systems. Before the automated version is built, we work with each relevant department to agree written definitions: what does the figure mean, how is it calculated, and what are the inclusion boundaries. Those definitions become the foundation of the automated report.

The automated and manual versions run in parallel until the figures match consistently. When they do, the manual process is retired. Staff are trained on how to adjust the report themselves — adding fields, changing the schedule, modifying the layout — without needing to return to us.

What the six weeks look like

1

Weeks 1–2: Source identification and definition

We identify the source systems for each figure in the report and work with the relevant departments to agree written definitions for any figure calculated differently in different parts of the organisation.

2

Weeks 3–4: Build

The automated version is built to match the layout of the existing report, drawing from the agreed sources and applying the agreed definitions.

3

Week 5: Parallel running

Both versions are produced. Figures are compared. Discrepancies are traced to their source, resolved, and the definitions are updated to reflect the resolution.

4

Week 6: Handover

Documentation and training are completed. Staff learn how to adjust the report, add sources, or modify the schedule themselves. The manual assembly process is retired.

This service is suited to

Organisations producing recurring reports — monthly, quarterly, or on another regular schedule — where the figures are currently assembled manually from multiple source systems, and where the effort involved or the error rate in that assembly has become a recognised problem.

Across all services

What every engagement includes

Fixed scope

What's included is agreed before work begins. The price and timeline do not change as a result of discoveries during build.

Parallel running

Old and new processes run together until results are consistent against live operations. No switch is made until that consistency is demonstrated.

Documented handover

Plain-language documentation and staff training are produced before the project closes. A named ownership panel identifies who is responsible for each component.

Rollback path

If the connection or system is later withdrawn, the path back to the prior state is documented and executable without involving Tsumugi.
