Shachihata Inc. (President and CEO: Masayoshi Funahashi, Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture), which supports the sustainable growth of companies through both analog and digital means, will launch the cloud-based budget vs. actual management system "Shachihata Cloud SDX: Budget Improvement Navigator" for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-market companies nationwide on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. *1 The company name is written as "シヤチハタ" and not "シャチハタ". With over 66% of SMEs still in the initial stages of digitalization*2, many SMEs and mid-market companies continue to rely on manual processes, primarily using Excel, for their budget vs. actual management. This includes manual aggregation at the end of each month, a black box system dependent on specific personnel, and facing the next month without understanding the reasons for discrepancies. These issues slow down management decision-making. Furthermore, existing budget vs. actual management systems only confirm financial discrepancies and lack the means to understand the causes of these differences. *2 Source: Small and Medium Enterprise Agency "2024 White Paper on Small and Medium Enterprises" "Shachihata Cloud SDX: Budget Improvement Navigator" fundamentally resolves these issues by directly linking the entire PDCA cycle of planning, execution, evaluation, and improvement of measures with budget vs. actual figures, thereby enabling faster and stronger decision-making in future budget management. It links daily reports and activity logs from the field with management figures in real-time, allowing users to understand "which measures impacted which figures." It offers a new form of budget vs. actual management that not only manages "figures" but also assetizes the "processes that moved the figures." ■ Core Features 1 Centralized grasp of company-wide budget vs. actual progress, eliminating monthly time lags. 2 Non-financial KPIs such as closing rates and operating rates can be freely designed f
