The Expansion of NP After Payment air for kintone

In a significant announcement from Net Protections Inc., a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, they reported an impressive growth in the adoption of their after-payment service, NP After Payment air, through the kintone plugin. Launched just a year ago, this integration has proven to be instrumental for many service providers who use kintone for customer management. The plugin effectively resolves the persistent bottlenecks related to payment reconciliation and invoice issuance, which have long been labor-intensive manual processes.

Background of the Expansion: Addressing Analog Payment Challenges

As the world increasingly shifts towards cashless transactions, various sectors, especially home improvement, repairs, and maintenance services, still grapple with outdated practices. These include cash transactions on-site, manual invoice generation post-visit, and the tedious process of confirming bank transfers. Many businesses have successfully digitized customer data and project management through kintone. However, the final steps, namely billing and payment collection, remained disjointed from their payment systems. The NP After Payment air for kintone addresses this specific workflow challenge. Over the past year, 12 companies decided to implement this solution, recognizing its efficiency-enhancing potential.

Impact of Implementation: Streamlining Business Flows

The application of this plugin allows businesses to manage their operations seamlessly within the kintone interface. Users can now modify statuses with ease, concluding the entire process from invoice issuance to credit checks and payment confirmations within the system. This transition significantly alleviates the workload for both accounting and field staff.
