Digital Transformation for a manufacturing enterprise on the Kintone platform

Luvina Software partnered with a leading Japanese manufacturing company to digitize their manual workflows in equipment auctions, procurement, and inventory document control. These processes were previously slow, error-prone, and lacked transparency.

By leveraging Kintone, a flexible cloud-based database platform, Luvina designed and developed customized management applications that replaced paper and Excel-based workflows. Kintone is trusted by over 15,000 companies worldwide, especially in Japan, and enables enterprises to build tailored solutions without coding.

Through this project, Luvina helped the client achieve greater efficiency, accuracy, and governance across their operations, laying a solid foundation for their digital transformation journey.

The primary objective was to design a digital transformation solution that optimizes manufacturing workflows, replacing manual, paper-based processes for managing auction records and equipment procurement.

• Paper-based documentation and multi-step approvals across departments slowed down processes, consumed significant time, and reduced overall productivity.

• Most employees involved in the workflows had limited IT knowledge, making it difficult to adopt and use traditional enterprise software.

• Paper-based storage created major obstacles for reporting and decision-making, especially when retrieving or analyzing historical data for business insights.

• Designed custom input forms to digitize registration processes and automate data handling on the Kintone platform.
• Simplified user experience: employees only needed to work within Kintone’s intuitive application interface, with no technical expertise required.
• Streamlined approvals and settlements using Kintone’s workflow management features, with full process visibility for approval status.
• Improved data accessibility: all records could be easily visualized, filtered, and searched within Kintone for faster reporting and analytics.
