What Issues Can Be Solved by Linking GMO Sign and kintone?
Solution 1: Speeding Up Decision-Making Through Quick Information Updates
When a contract is completed with GMO Sign, kintone information is automatically updated, and the contract details are immediately reflected. This makes it easier for administrators and personnel to always grasp the situation based on the latest information, supporting quick decision-making. By accelerating the reflection of the latest data, an environment is established where the next actions can be smoothly considered in contract-related operations and inventory management. Additionally, by reducing the burden of manual information updates, it leads to a reduction in the time required for decision-making, promoting overall operational efficiency.
Solution 2: Preventing Human Errors
When manually entering information into kintone after a contract is completed, there is an inherent risk of human error. Even though the input task may seem simple, errors or omissions are likely to occur in busy situations or when handling multiple contracts simultaneously. Especially when contract details involve important data related to finance or transactions, even a small mistake can affect trust with clients or within the company, requiring careful data management. Through automation, the risk of human error is reduced by minimizing manual tasks, aiming for more accurate data management.
Solution 3: Reducing Communication Burden Among Personnel
By automating the update of contract details, the communication burden among personnel can be reduced. Previously, it was necessary to frequently contact each other to confirm update statuses and share information, but automation reduces such interactions. Also, by reducing the hassle of repeatedly confirming the same content, duplicate tasks are less likely to occur. Furthermore, with the extra time to focus on other tasks that should be addressed, personnel can concentrate more on other important tasks, naturally smoothing team collaboration.
