Case Study: Successful Migration to kintone by O.G. Nagase Color Chemical Co.

Introduction

The collaboration between Techvan Inc. and O.G. Nagase Color Chemical Co. illustrates a successful transition from Salesforce to kintone. The journey showcases the efficiency and operational improvements achieved through diligent planning and execution.

Background

O.G. Nagase, based in Osaka, specializes in dyes, chemicals, automotive interior materials, and industrial materials. They initially implemented Salesforce to manage their data; however, they soon faced challenges that hindered effective data utilization.

Problem Identification

While Salesforce served as a data repository, it lacked functionalities for effective data analysis, leading to issues of data fragmentation. Additionally, inadequate search capabilities made it difficult to consolidate information. Recognizing these limitations, the leadership sought a more integrated solution, prompting them to consider migrating to kintone.

Solution Proposal

Techvan proposed its kintone implementation services to address the challenges faced by O.G. Nagase. The goal was to transform their data management system entirely to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.

Migration Process and Results

The migration to kintone proved to be a game-changer for O.G. Nagase. They reported a significant reduction in costs due to decreased Salesforce fees, which were pruned down to about one-third of the previous expenses after the transfer to kintone.

Moreover, O.G. Nagase was able to retain the existing fields and layouts previously utilized in Salesforce, which ensured a seamless transition without disrupting ongoing operations. Users indicated that the new system made it considerably easier to monitor work processes through enhanced app and plugin functionalities.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, O.G. Nagase intends to streamline additional processes such as quotation generation and various application workflows directly within kintone, further improving their operational efficiencies.
