－ How Did You Manage Projects Before Using KANNA ?

We used LINE for both internal and external communication within the organization. Sending daily work-related information via LINE made it difficult to relay important details and took a long time to search.

－ What Made You Decide to Choose KANNA ?

KANNA met our operational needs. Using KANNA as our main program for task assignment has made it easier and more convenient for employees. Since using KANNA, we haven't encountered any issues with its usage.

－ How Do You Use KANNA for Your Projects ?

Initially, we create a project and enter the details, including the date and time, in Project Info. We also input owner information and customer contact details. Then, we add team members to allow them to access daily work details. If there's equipment installation involved, employees can create reports to document the installation progress, including details on the equipment, brand, model, and outstanding tasks. They also attach photos to the reports to inform relevant personnel and provide a comprehensive work overview.

－ Did You Consider Using Other Tools or Systems ?

Before implementing KANNA, we used Excel for managing work details, and Google Calendar for project management.

－ What Changes Have You Seen Since You Started Using KANNA? How Has KANNA Made Your Work Easier?

The most noticeable change has been in our day-to-day operations. We used to rely on paper documents, which led to issues like losing work orders or forgetting the details of daily tasks.

We often had to call supervisors or colleagues who had the necessary documents. Sharing information through LINE, which included images that had expiration dates, resulted in a flood of data. It was time-consuming to find critical information. After implementing KANNA, employees responsible for task assignments input comprehensive work details, including task lists, dates and times for task execution, and contact information for owners. They can even attach site maps.

This has improved work efficiency, reduced communication time, minimized errors, and enhanced data integration among team members. Moreover, it's convenient to use since it only requires opening the app on a mobile device.

－ Do You Use KANNA in Other Formats Apart from What Was Mentioned Earlier?

We plan to implement KANNA in the sales department, particularly for new projects that involve external parties.
For instance, we will invite owners to monitor project status in real time, enhancing the credibility of data security. We aim to promptly share data, reinforcing our customers' confidence in Life Style Technology's ability to safeguard their data and efficiently manage the processes.

－ What Are Your Expectations for KANNA in the Future?

The access to external users. We are also aware that KANNA is developing a dashboard with features like Gantt charts and S-curves to use data for task management and analysis in the future.
