Kintone

We use Kintone to help manage our inventory. We use it to track incoming material, material that has been sold but is not yet shipped out and material that has been sent out. We also use it to create invoices for our clients. It really helps us quickly and accurately look at our data to see what material is needed.

• It has helped us reduce the amount of people we need to track our inventory. We’ve saved time and money using less people.
• We are able to see our data much better now and have a spot that we can all look at the database on the go.

An easy straightforward way to drag and drop fields where you need them which allowed for a great-looking presentation. Using Kintone for sorting information was great.

• It was great to show concepts of data collection.
• Nothing came to fruition with Kintone as it was too expensive for upper management to approve while I was testing it for potential future use.

Other than our email through Outlook. Kintone is the primary online software that our office uses to manage the office. This includes a document library, a CRM-like system for constituent casework, a project management tracker, and communication software. The document library is simply a holder of our documents. The constituent casework portion tracks staff actions taken in assisting constituents with the issues they ask about. The project management tracker is for when we file bills and keep track of the changes made and wherein the process of a bill is. Lastly, we will use the messaging feature for communications that are not time-sensitive.

• Since using the software, our office has had 686 constituent case files.
• We have used it to track and draft 70+ bills.
• It holds all of our stuff in one place.

We use Kintone on a daily basis for sales leads, quoting, purchasing, and client management. It is thoroughly ingrained in our day-to-day operations. It helped take us from a position where we needed to keep track of paper copies moving around our shop to a point where every piece of information is digital. We track the time it takes to complete projects, who was involved, what steps were taken, etc. Kintone may be the most powerful tool we use.

• It used to take us 15-20 minutes to create a quote for a client. It now takes less than 3.
• It allows a few of our employees to work remotely, which was essentially impossible prior.
• We can see raw data for success/failure rates, which we actively use in our employee review process.

We utilize it to document client information to then use for reporting.

• We have been able to customize apps to capture the exact data we need for reporting.
