Chronos and OBC Begin API Integration for Enhanced Payroll Management

Chronos Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and led by President Mitsuru Omaki, has entered into an API integration collaboration with OBC, Inc., a company known for developing and selling core business systems such as the "Kyuuyo Bugyou" payroll system, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, under President Narushi Wada. This integration focuses on streamlining the connection of master and payroll data through advanced API functionalities.

Background and Overview

Users of Chronos's attendance management system often utilize the 'Kyuuyo Bugyou iCloud' and 'Kyuuyo Bugyou V ERP Cloud' as their payroll solutions. Until now, data transfer between systems mostly relied on manual processes through CSV files or external API connections. The demand for more direct data integration to minimize manual efforts and errors led to this initiative between Chronos's attendance management system, "Chronos Performance," and the payroll systems of OBC.

The new API integration permits automatic data linkage, eliminating the need for cumbersome CSV outputs or manual entries. Users can now connect master and attendance data directly, significantly reducing the risk of errors and saving valuable time.

Integrated Functions

Both Chronos and OBC users can easily synchronize data between systems. After making any necessary changes to master data, users can simply press a synchronization button to automatically update the data across the connected systems. This ease of use extends to attendance data as well, enabling straightforward integration with just one button press.

Kyuuyo Bugyou iCloud and V ERP Cloud

The 'Kyuuyo Bugyou iCloud' and 'Kyuuyo Bugyou V ERP Cloud' are comprehensive cloud-based payroll solutions that digitize all payroll-related tasks, from salary calculations to social insurance and year-end adjustments. These systems are designed to swiftly adapt to legal changes, such as the recent revisions concerning year-end adjustments and future implementations like childcare support programs, facilitating the digital transformation (DX) of payroll tasks.

Moreover, by integrating with OBC's 'Bugyou Cloud Edge' for HR management and attendance management, businesses can gather essential information digitally, leading to a significant enhancement in overall productivity.
