Search for past similar cases and manage master data for agreements and repeat items! We will make procurement decisions reproducible.
"IoM Procurement" is a procurement support system born from the manufacturing industry. Although similar parts have been purchased in the past, estimates and price information are scattered across emails, folders, and Excel files for each person in charge, making it difficult to quickly check past records. There is a need to utilize information such as "How much was purchased previously?" and "Which supplier was requested for similar products?" for the next procurement decisions. It accumulates and shares procurement know-how, which has previously relied on individuals, as data, including estimate history and price information. [Features] ■ Originating from the manufacturing site: Overwhelming practicality ■ Up to 70% efficiency improvement: Securing strategic time ■ Eliminating dependency on individuals: Transforming into an organizational asset *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Okano Valve Manufacturing x Alter Booth officially launches the procurement support system "IoM Procurement" for the manufacturing industry.
Okano Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, President: Takeharu Okano, hereinafter referred to as "Okano Valve Manufacturing") officially launched the procurement support system "IoM Procurement," developed in collaboration with its group company, Alterbooth Co., Ltd., on Friday, October 16, 2026. After approximately four months since the start of the alpha version in June, the system has been refined into a form that can withstand actual operation, reflecting the feedback from about 100 companies that were interviewed and those that used the system as monitors. The manufacturing industry is currently facing increasing challenges due to rising raw material costs and the closure or suspension of suppliers. Meanwhile, procurement operations still rely on paper and fax, resulting in a dependence on individual workers, who are overwhelmed with daily tasks. IoM Procurement semi-automates the entire series of procurement operations from quotation to delivery. It not only improves the efficiency of the staff's work and alleviates the dependence on individuals but also promotes the development of new procurement sources as a "procurement support system."
