How companies of different industries and sizes use Linkflow. Fuller write-ups are in the Case Studies PDF (Japanese).
Towa Seiki Kogyo (fictional): approval lead time from 11 days to 3
Paper approval forms circulated between plants, so investment decisions took close to two weeks. Digitizing approvals and purchase requests in Approve and turning on stall alerts brought average approval time from 11.2 days to 3.4. Insight now compares capital spend per plant every month.
Maruyoshi Shoji (fictional): 120 stores' expense requests managed centrally
Store expense requests, previously in per-store Excel files, were unified in Approve. Routes by store, region and category are automatic, and head-office monthly consolidation dropped from 40 hours to 4. Three group companies run in one environment with Enterprise multi-entity management.
CloudNext (fictional): J-SOX audit trail with standard features
Preparing for IPO, the company needed tamper-proof approval records. Approve's audit trail met the auditors' requirements with no custom development. SSO and IP restrictions covered the security requirements as well.
Aoba Construction (fictional): from one department to the whole company
Started with leave and overtime requests in General Affairs on Starter. Field staff loved it, so six months later the company moved to Scale and rolled out purchasing and site expenses company-wide. Insight tracks expense trends per construction project.
