[Information] The choice of "Agency Sales"

"Somehow inconvenient" will inevitably become a "visible cost" if left unattended. When small inconveniences and anxieties accumulate in the HR and general affairs field, they manifest as a significant burden during peak times at the end and beginning of the month. This time, we will introduce the process of a fresh food sales company with about 200 employees that articulated this vague discomfort and took the first step. When we articulate "somehow inconvenient"... The company's challenges were clear: 1) Managing attendance with paper time cards requires a lot of effort for aggregation and Excel transcription. 2) Transcription errors undermine the reliability of payroll data, and inquiries about remaining paid leave require opening Excel each time for confirmation, increasing the workload on-site. 3) Low IT literacy creates psychological resistance to the introduction of new systems, acting as a barrier.

Caught up in daily data entry, approvals, and inquiries, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. Such voices from the field are not uncommon. Even though it's clear that systemization is necessary, the reality is that people often get stuck on where to start and which products to choose. Common frustrations include "I spent time requesting materials and demos, but I'm not sure if it fits my company," and "After implementation, the inquiry contacts are scattered among different manufacturers, making it hard to connect quickly when issues arise." This moves us further away from the original goals of efficiency and reducing dependency on individuals. This is where the option of "agent implementation" comes into focus. Agents that handle products from multiple manufacturers have the advantage of providing unbiased comparisons and neutral proposals without favoring specific products. Even within the same category of systems, they can present the pros and cons side by side for a balanced evaluation. There is also a common misconception regarding pricing; in most cases, there is little to no price difference between direct sales from manufacturers and agents.

Caught up in daily input, approval, and checks, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. In back offices, which tend to fall into such a "negative loop," it's understood that system implementation can be a breakthrough, but the burden of the implementation itself is often significant, leading to new sources of concern. During the consideration phase, it takes time to request materials and compare demos, and even if the differences are clear, there is no certainty about whether it will fit the company. After implementation, issues often arise in operations, such as not being able to connect to support or having multiple inquiry points that cause confusion. Therefore, while organizing common failure cases, we have summarized key points for practical staff to proceed with a selection that is "smooth," "thorough," and "without regret." Common failure case 1: The purpose is vague, and "systematization" becomes the goal. Common failure case 2: It does not match the company's operations. Common failure case 3: Realizing it is "difficult" after starting to use it. Common failure case 4: Total costs balloon. You can read more without needing to input personal information.

An article has been published regarding the case study of the attendance management system "KING OF TIME" implemented at Nichirei Industrial Co., Ltd. ~ In the case of Nichirei Industrial ~ The workload related to attendance management has decreased. With the transition from analog tasks to automated aggregation of working hours and granting of annual leave, we can now focus on our work with peace of mind. Particularly regarding the "punching method," we utilize fingerprint and facial recognition. By using biometric authentication, impersonation is not possible, and I believe the accuracy of attendance has significantly improved. Transparency has been ensured. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges Before Implementation - Handwritten attendance sheets were used, resulting in input tasks to incorporate data into the payroll system. ■Key Points of Implementation - Systematization has reduced input tasks. Biometric authentication prevents impersonation. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
