Issues before introduction

• Since the store manager calculates the time manually (prescribed, overtime, midnight) and enters it in Excel, a counting error can occur on the man-hours worked.
• Since shifts were also created in Excel, it took a lot of time and effort to collate shifts with actual working hours.
• The number of days left on annual leave can only be confirmed on the monthly salary statement.
• Since the number of days left for leave was managed using the paper, there is a time-lapse for accurate data.

Effect after introduction

• Business efficiency in the store side has been improved, eliminating the need for different tabulations for each type of employment.
• Accurate time management has become possible.
• Overtime hours can now be checked in real-time at the head office and stores.
• It has become easier to manage leaves (paid holidays, public holidays).
• It has become possible to centrally manage attendance, shifts, and vacations, and to view them in real-time.
• The output items of salary data can now be freely selected.

Testimonials from Eriko Izawa and Sachino Yamaguchi, Headquarters Administration Department Human Resources Department

After researching and examining various systems of several companies with an emphasis on “a system that is easy for store staff to use,” we want something that can handle various employment and work styles, it is easy to create shifts, and the screen is easy to see. In that respect, we decided to introduce “KING OF TIME” because it was the most suitable for our request.

To be honest, the preparation period was difficult, but I am grateful that the support centre met the standards. It seems that the store staff were unfamiliar and difficult during the two months of the test operation period, but when it went live, our staff became accustomed to it and I realized the wonderfulness of “KING OF TIME”.
