I feel a mixture of happiness and surprise upon receiving this award. I am glad that everyone enjoyed the presentation, which included many illustrations and entertainment elements such as picture-story shows. The package-type core system that we were initially using had turned into a black box due to excessive customization, so we proceeded with building a core system using kintone. As for building with kintone, I was able to enjoy the process of looking at the entire company’s business flow, identifying problems, and considering ways to implement them. There were some conservative opinions when introducing the new system, but it was accepted by starting with the simple Kintone app. As a result, sales and the number of estimates increased by 1.3 times, and overtime work was reduced. Currently, young employees are also actively working to improve their work. In the future, we would like to consider introducing kintone’s email sharing option and accumulate email information in kintone to prevent personalization and aim to further improve our operations. ■What is kintone Cybozu’s no-code/low-code tools are used by more than 37,000 companies, including one in three companies listed on TSE Prime.
