■ Background

Japan’s construction sector faces chronic labor shortages, leading to an increase in the hiring of foreign nationals from Southeast Asia.

Consequently, a growing number of technical interns are transitioning to Specified Skilled Worker status. Consequently, a growing number of technical interns are transitioning to Specified Skilled Worker status.

Simultaneously, the construction sector is expanding in many Southeast Asian countries, although it still faces common challenges of on-site quality and boosting productivity.

In response to these trends, ANDPAD has expanded its language support to include Indonesian, Thai, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), and Spanish. Initially, this multi-language support will cover the Construction Management features—the most widely used function of ANDPAD—to facilitate centralized information management and smoother communication at construction sites in both Japan and Southeast Asia.

Going forward, ANDPAD will continue to actively pursue expansion of functions in multiple languages along with development efforts to offer support for various languages. The company will proceed to promote DX in the Southeast Asian construction industry in addition to the Japanese market.

■ About Usage

Existing ANDPAD users can use these new language options version at no additional cost.
