The content introduced this time is recommended for the following people!

・Those who want to utilize SPIRAL for quick information sharing among teams via Slack
・Those aiming to speed up information transmission between teams and improve customer response and business speed
・Those who want to reduce the burden on personnel and promote work style reform through business automation

Benefits and Examples of Integrating SPIRAL with Slack

Benefit 1: Quick Response through Automatic Notifications

By sending automatic notifications to Slack every time a record is registered in SPIRAL, quick responses become possible.
This allows personnel to receive information quickly and potentially reduce the time it takes to start responding.
For example, when a new inquiry or reservation information from a customer is registered, a notification is immediately sent to a dedicated Slack channel set up in advance. The notification can include specific information such as the customer's name, inquiry details, and registration date, enabling personnel to start necessary actions immediately upon receiving the notification.
As a result, the entire business process is expected to become smoother, improving the speed and accuracy of customer responses.

Benefit 2: Enhanced Team Information Sharing and Collaboration

When a record is registered in SPIRAL, the content is automatically notified to Slack, allowing for a system that quickly shares information within the team.
For example, when the sales team registers a new customer, this information is automatically notified to Slack, allowing the marketing team to secure time to prepare appropriate materials or campaign information for that customer.
Furthermore, even members who are not in the office due to remote work can check SPIRAL updates on Slack, allowing the same information to be shared regardless of physical location.
As a result, information transmission across the team is expected to proceed more quickly.

Benefit 3: Reducing the Workload on Personnel

Repetitive tasks such as data verification and information sharing that occur in daily operations can be a significant burden for many personnel.
By introducing a system that automatically notifies Slack when a record is registered in SPIRAL, these tasks can be streamlined.
For example, the hassle of logging into the system and manually checking data to share with the team every time applicant data is registered in SPIRAL during recruitment activities is eliminated.
This allows personnel to focus on tasks that require more advanced judgment or on planning and strategizing directly linked to team growth.
As a result, it may not only reduce the workload on personnel but also contribute to promoting work style reform.
