| Open Stream | Legacy | Open Stream Biz/Browser DT | Apps Development | PaaS | NRI Secure | 2018 | 2019 | In 2018, Kokubu & Co implemented Open Stream Biz/Browser DT to rebuild its sales-facing cost-analysis and estimate-creation system. The deployment used Open Stream Biz/Browser DT within the Apps Development category to provide a browser-oriented interface that improved responsiveness and large-data handling for sales teams in Japan. The implementation consolidated cost-analysis calculators and estimate creation workflows that had been based on Excel macros into server-side processing with a browser front end, enabling centralized data aggregation and more consistent pricing logic. Functional capabilities implemented included configurable pricing rules, template-driven estimate generation, and large dataset processing for complex product and cost component combinations. Development and delivery were performed with Nomura Research Institute and the SI/VAR NRI Secure, aligning the system to Kokubu sales operations. Operational scope was explicitly sales in Japan, with the application embedded in daily pricing and estimate workflows used by field and inside sales staff. The project was released in autumn 2018 and put into use by sales staff from April 2019, and Open Stream Biz/Browser DT is documented as delivering measurable efficiency gains in Kokubu's pricing and estimate processes. |

| In-House Applications | Legacy | KLS (Kokubu Logistics System) | Domain Name System (DNS) | IaaS | n/a | 2007 | 2007 | In 2007, Kokubu & Co implemented KLS (Kokubu Logistics System) under the Domain Name System (DNS) application category as part of the Kokubu Group's logistics consolidation program. The deployment aligned with the group platform KLS-PV to standardize logistics systems across group companies in Japan, and Kokubu Chubu participated as the regional wholesale and distribution subsidiary in central Japan. KLS (Kokubu Logistics System) was deployed as a centralized logistics platform architecture providing standardized operational workflows for distribution, center consolidation, and cold-chain handling. Functional capabilities described by the group and inferred for the regional rollout include operational orchestration for distribution centers, standardized process templates for warehousing and shipment handling, and explicit support for temperature controlled logistics. Operational scope covered Kokubu Chubu and other Kokubu Group companies in Japan, with the platform supporting center consolidation activities and expanded cold-chain capabilities at regional distribution sites. Business functions impacted included logistics operations, warehouse management, transportation orchestration, and group-level logistics governance. Governance emphasized platform standardization through KLS-PV, instituting consistent workflows and control across sites while enabling the regional Kokubu Chubu unit to adopt the group standard. The implementation is described as supporting the group's stated objectives of standardized logistics systems, center consolidation, and enhanced cold-chain capabilities. |

| In-House Applications | Legacy | KIS (Kokubu Information System) | IT Service Management | ITSM | n/a | 2006 | 2006 | In 2006, Kokubu & Co implemented KIS (Kokubu Information System) to provide IT Service Management across the Kokubu Group. Public architecture descriptions position KIS alongside KLS and KMS, and those materials indicate KOKUBU FRESH & FOOD TRANS CORP., the group's logistics subsidiary, is likely covered by the group's KIS deployment. The KIS (Kokubu Information System) implementation likely encompassed core IT Service Management capabilities, including incident management, service desk workflows, change management, asset and configuration tracking, and a service catalog to govern IT requests. Configuration and automation would be expected to align operational data with logistics and distribution IT functions, enabling ticketing and asset lifecycle processes tied to warehouse and transport IT operations. Operational coverage is inferred to include centralized group IT operations with the KIS/KLS/KMS architecture exchanging integrated data to support distribution and logistics IT activities and service operations for subsidiary sites. Governance and rollout are described in group materials as coordinated at the corporate level, implying standardized workflows, consolidated service management governance, and cross-company alignment of IT processes under KIS. |
