Description

Although the domestic manufacturing industry is estimated to be worth 180 trillion yen, many manufacturers and their suppliers are unable to fully demonstrate their development potential and technological capabilities because they are hindered by quotations and administrative tasks, as well as a lack of sales force and information.

CADDi’s mission is to remove those restrictions in various aspects of the industry and unleash each company’s potential to the fullest. We introduce technology to drive digital transformation in the industry so that all manufactures - from small factories and established leading manufactures to new start-ups - can thrive and add new value to the world. Will you bring your skill to create such a future with us?

Unleash the potential of manufacturing from the frontend

As such, the requirements for UI/UX also change from day to day. That’s why our frontend applications need to be resistant to changes while maintaining high operability.

In addition to the core platform, we are creating a range of new products to support the platform. At CADDi, we provide optimal UI/UX for different purposes and skillsets to bring forth transformational change in the manufacturing industry and day-to-day operations of people supporting the industry.
