BlueMeme Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary OpenModels Inc. are launching a new service “AGILE-SaaS”.
BlueMeme provides services for entrusted development and in-house system development support services, specializing in low-code technology and agile methodologies. OpenModels is a subsidiary of BlueMeme, which specializes in low-code and agile entrusted business system development and platform business. It aims to support Japanese companies in promoting DX by making various models and technologies more accessible to the public.
As one of its main services, OpenModels offers a “tailor-made SaaS development service”, which develops customer-specific applications and provides them as SaaS. The new “AGILE-SaaS service” aims to market these tailor-made systems to the public.
The service provides a system developed based on actual operations, which can be used as is, or can be changed to a more specialized system through BlueMeme’s customization service. Customers using this service will be able to develop and customize systems more easily and achieve DX in shorter timeframes.
The product launched is AToM, a comprehensive management system for the mid-sized printing industry. The system was jointly developed by the BlueMeme Group in response to the DX of Arrow Printing Co., Ltd. Based on the results of a business analysis, the product was developed with a focus on the necessary functions for a printing company. AToM is equipped with functions ranging from sales support to printing operations management, shipping management and sales analysis. Being a cloud application, it can also be used to keep track of projects from outside the office, making it a highly usable product.
