How to update kintone information when a contract is completed in freee Sign by integrating freee Sign and kintone

In business, managing contracts is a crucial process, but the effort and time involved can often be challenging.
Particularly, the burden of creating and reviewing contracts can frequently impact the productivity of the entire team.
Therefore, this time, we will introduce a method to link freee Sign and kintone to automatically update information when a contract is completed.
By realizing this automation, it is expected that operations will become smoother and the productivity of the team will improve.
This article will explain in detail the specific integration methods that can be done without code and their benefits.

Please consider this as a reference for app integration!

Benefits of Integrating freee Sign and kintone

Benefit 1: Reduction of Work Time and Efficiency Improvement

By automating the manual input after contract completion, it is expected to reduce employees' work time and shorten the time required to reflect contract information.
As a result, you can focus on other important tasks, and overall business efficiency is expected to improve.
For example, the manual data entry into kintone that was done in the sales department after contract completion will be quickly reflected through automation.
This will reduce the burden on sales representatives, allowing them to quickly tackle other projects, thus improving the overall speed of sales activities and potentially enhancing the quality of customer service.

Benefit 2: Reduction of Human Errors

Manual data entry is prone to input errors, but automation is expected to reduce the risk of errors.
It will enable accurate data updates, and improvements in the accuracy of customer management and contract progress tracking can also be expected.
For example, contract data that was manually entered by the general affairs department often had many instances prone to mistakes or omissions, but with automatic integration, accurate reflection of contract contents is expected.
This will reduce verification work and correction responses, potentially leading to smoother business flows.

Now, let's proceed with app integration using Yoom!

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
