Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a business management system, a business management method, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] In a business, for example, at a construction site, workers create a work daily report each time they work, and work reports are made. However, even after all the work of the day is completed, the work daily report must be created, and such a situation is troublesome for the workers.

[0003] On the other hand, when a business manager summarizes expenses related to the business, etc., it is normal for the business manager to input the necessary data into the database of the computer managed by the management side while looking at the work daily report created by the worker.

[0004] Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1, it is disclosed that a work daily report that is a prerequisite for cost management is generated using voice recognition technology (Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, in the system of Patent Document 1, although the created work daily report is stored in the database, the data necessary for summarizing accounting, etc., is not input from the work daily report into the database managed by the management side. Therefore, it is difficult to utilize the data included in the work daily report as data that should be grasped by business managers and management managers for business improvement.

[0007] Therefore, unless the business manager inputs the data required from the work report into the database, the business manager cannot ensure safety in performing operations involving risks such as setup and arrangement omissions at the site, as well as the use of heavy machinery, transportation of heavy materials, and working at heights. In addition, the business manager cannot grasp the status of the ongoing site, revenue and expenditure, estimates, output, etc., and cannot prevent omissions and leaks such as billing omissions, payment omissions, and schedule forgetting.

[0008] As a result, since the labor costs and transportation costs for each site become unclear, it becomes difficult to calculate the cost based on ambiguous estimated grounds for the planned execution, and without being able to grasp the trend of costs against the budget, the revenue and expenditure countermeasures are delayed and the entire business cannot be grasped. Therefore, the management issue that the cause analysis of deteriorating profitability cannot be performed and the management improvement of the site and the business operator cannot be expected still remains.

[0009] Therefore, the inventors focused on the fact that by linking the database managed by the management side and the work report, for example, by considering labor saving, construction period shortening, etc. from the design to the construction of the business, the productivity of the business can be improved.

[0010] In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a system for improving management in business management by linking a database managed by the management side and a work report.
