Kobe Steel USA | Manufacturing | 50 | $5M | United States | Cybozu | Kintone Platform | Apps Development | 2023 | KDDI America |
In 2023, Kobe Steel USA implemented the Kintone Platform as an Apps Development solution for its US HR organization. The project, delivered with KDDI America and leveraging Cybozu Kintone Platform capabilities, centralized payroll-related tasks, visa renewal tracking, and an employee Q&A function across its US offices.
The implementation consisted of purpose-built Kintone Platform applications for payroll-related workflows, visa renewal tracking, and an employee question and answer knowledge base, with configured automated notifications and centralized record storage. Role-based access controls and form-driven record entry were applied to standardize HR data capture and to support routine payroll-related task management.
Operational scope covered the US HR organization and regional US offices, consolidating records that had previously been managed in spreadsheets and ad hoc tools, and establishing a single application layer for HR operational processes. No external system integrations are detailed in source materials, the deliverable focused on internal application orchestration and notification automation within Kintone Platform.
Governance was shifted to internal HR ownership for routine updates and notification rule management, which removed reliance on a third-party HR vendor for routine updates. The rollout simplified HR workflows and increased efficiency across Kobe Steel USA offices as stated by the implementation notes.

Kokuyo Co. | Manufacturing | 6825 | $2.7B | Japan | Cybozu | Kintone Platform | Apps Development | 2025 | n/a |
In 2025 Kokuyo Co. deployed Cybozu's Kintone Platform in the Apps Development category to standardize Billing Management and workflow processes and move away from Excel and manual, skill dependent operations. The deployment was led by the Business Supply Division, targeting on-site business improvement across sales, merchandise planning, and accounting functions, with the explicit goal of enabling non-engineers to build and operate applications.
The implementation emphasized no code app creation and process driven database capabilities inherent to the Kintone Platform. Kokuyo's Development Unit built approximately 90 apps including prototype and production apps, and a specialist invoice issuance application that uses parent child app relationships to link shared departmental data with invoice processing data, a pre configured document format generated through gusuku Customine, and automated outbound email via kMailer. The Development Unit also leverages ATTAZoo + to orchestrate multiple plugins and uses record level comments and portal screens to improve user interaction and traceability.
Operational coverage is concentrated in the Business Supply Division, where about 260 users representing roughly 70 percent of the division's operations use Kintone Platform across multiple domains, and approximately 20 designated creators per department have authority to develop apps. Integration planning is explicit, including strengthening connections with Slack and RPA for communication and automation, exploring analytics integration with a separate DWH, and aligning future integrations with AWS as Kokuyo cloud lifts core, supply chain, and channel systems, while noting that broader microservice integration remains a future consideration.
Governance and rollout used a grassroots enablement model, combining basic training videos, archived hands on sessions, and an ambassador program with biweekly meetings to accelerate developer adoption and knowledge sharing across about 6,000 group employees. App creation authority is granted after simple hands on learning, and an ambassador management app was built rapidly to track progress. Measured outcomes stated by Kokuyo include roughly 260 active business users, about 90 apps in use, and a 92 percent reduction in accounting man hours for processing more than 100 special invoices per month, while the platform has been used to visualize processes, reduce individual dependency, and strengthen governance.

Otafuku Foods United States | Consumer Packaged Goods | 22 | $8M | United States | Cybozu | Kintone Platform | Apps Development | 2021 | KDDI America |
In 2021, Otafuku Foods United States deployed Kintone Platform for Apps Development to consolidate deal data and to build an initial purchase order and invoice approval application. This implementation centralized transactional records and established approval workflows for purchasing and invoicing across US sales and administrative teams.
The Kintone Platform deployment expanded to include HR capabilities such as timecards and time-off tracking, and a product information management application, enabling unified recordkeeping and standardized operational forms. Kintone Platform was configured with role-based access controls and approval routing to support small team operations and to reduce manual paper processes.
KDDI America served as the implementation partner for the staged rollout, guiding configuration and incremental expansion of functionality. Operational coverage focused on sales, administrative, and HR functions within the United States, with the platform consolidating deal and product data to improve visibility for cross-functional teams.
Governance followed an iterative rollout model starting with a minimal PO and invoice approval app before adding HR and product information modules, enabling controlled adoption. The rollout improved internal communications and visibility across sales and administrative processes, enabling smoother operations and faster access to records.
