Its parts procurement platform “CADDi Manufacturing” analyzes manufacturers’ drawings using its original technologies and selects processing companies from around the world that offer the best quality, delivery, and cost, providing a one-stop solution up to inspection and delivery. In addition, "CADDi Drawer," its new service, enables users to manage drawings on the cloud, transforming the current situation where 40% of drawings are still based on paper. Its services are offered in the US, Vietnam, Thailand in addition to Japan, with a total of 10 offices including six in Japan. Through this financing, CADDi is planning to enhance the “CADDi Manufacturing” platform, strengthen “CADDi Drawer" features, and boost recruitment and training.
