Implementation effects

  • We provide one-stop solutions to the challenges faced by art museums and museums.

    Nippon Express handles five key elements—data management, storage organization, transportation and storage, data entry outsourcing, and digitalization—all in one package. By consolidating the points of contact, the hassle of communicating with multiple vendors is significantly reduced.
    *You can use just one of the five services.

  • Utilizing digitized data to improve business efficiency

    Utilizing Fujitsu's collection management system "Musetheque SaaS," it allows access to collection information and images from any device and supports high-resolution registration of large files. The screen and registration capacity can also be individually customized to meet customer needs.

  • High quality and information security guaranteed.

    We have obtained ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System) certifications. You can use our services with a reliable quality and security system required when handling cultural properties and collection information.
