Tokyu Hands has established a unique style of "Hint Market" for customers in the highly competitive retail industry, and enjoys enduring popularity. The company introduced DataSpider at the end of 2008 and has been developing inter-system linkage functions in-house.
Even employees with no programming experience can now flexibly link various systems as needed, resulting in benefits such as savings on outsourcing system development costs and shortened development times, and the company also expects to further expand the scope of its in-house development in the future.
As a secondary effect of introducing DataSpider, we hope it will serve as the starting point for paving the way for in-house system development.
DataSpider can be learned in about three days of training, and you can handle basic processing related to data input and output, as well as create full-fledged systems, so I think it is an excellent programming learning tool.
