With the introduction of KING OF TIME, the manual calculation of overtime hours has been reduced from 2 days to 0 minutes!

Mr Nakagome:
We are engaged in parking lot management and operation business nationwide. There are 13 bases nationwide, including the head office. Human Resources and General Affairs is located at the head office in Tokyo and is in charge of attendance management at all bases.

In the previous attendance management method, each employee creates a calendar in spreadsheet software, and the printed roster is mailed from all bases to the head office after the attendance is closed. After that, the total of overtime hours was calculated manually by two people from the Human Resources and General Affairs Department at the head office and three people from the labour and social security attorney, and a triple check was performed.

This was a time-consuming situation that took two full days every month!

Mr Naganuma:
When I joined the company, KING OF TIME was already in operation, so I was very surprised when I heard about the previous operation method. Paper management tends to be complicated, and if the amount of human intervention is large, mistakes will naturally increase.

Mr Nakagome:
When I was feeling the limits of paper management, I learned that our subsidiary “Parking Support Center” has introduced KING OF TIME and it is working well.

Of course, the point of selection was that the subsidiary used it, but a bigger factor is the use of secure login, a function that can automatically clock-in and out when logging on and off of each computer.

In this case, the manager can easily grasp the more accurate working hours, and the employees can save the trouble of stamping from the attendance management system after logging on to the personal computer.

Also, when I stopped by the KING OF TIME booth at the KING OF TIME exhibition held in Tokyo, I was able to see the actual screen and examine the terminal machine, so I felt that it was easy to be implemented.

Since it is a cloud system, the running cost is as low as 400 yen/month (*) for KING OF TIME and secure login, and there is no contract period or a minimum number of people to use it, so it was easy to make a decision.
(* KING OF TIME 300 yen/month, KING OF TIME secure login 100 yen/month)

After the introduction of KING OF TIME, the man-hours required for manual calculation of overtime hours, which was one of the issues, was reduced from 2 days to 0 minutes, which was a significant reduction. We succeeded in reducing the number of attendance management tasks from three to two, and the reduced time could be used for other tasks.

Even if you have no experience in human resources, you can make initial settings by using the support centre.

Mr Nakagome:
One issue was the initial settings.
Before I became in charge of human resources two years ago, I was working in the sales department, and I was studying human resources knowledge every day, so I was worried if I could actually set it myself.

By using the support centre, I was able to set it myself until it went into full-scale operation.

At first, there were many things I didn’t understand, so I contacted the support centre frequently, but they explained it quickly and politely, and although it took time, I was able to set it according to our aggregation rules.

Since I gained knowledge by making the initial settings, I was confident that I would be able to handle it myself even if the work rules changed in the future.

Mr Naganuma:
We also have the feeling that if you asked Mr Nakagome, you will be able to understand it well. There is a sense of security if there are people in the company who understand it.

Eight months after the introduction of KING OF TIME, we succeeded in introducing the “hourly holiday system”!

Mr Nakagome:
Before the introduction of KING OF TIME, vacation management was submitted in a separate paper from attendance.

Every month, each department manages the paper for vacation management, collects it at the head office at the end of the fiscal year, prepares the paper for the new year, and then sends it to each department. The problem was that management was complicated, such as the number of acquisition days and the number of remaining days.

By introducing KING OF TIME, employees and managers can grasp attendance and vacations in real-time, so we succeeded in introducing the “hourly leave system” requested by employees.

In particular, employees who are raising children are crying out for joy.

I was the first in the Tokyo Tatemono Group to introduce it, and I think I was able to take the lead!

Respond by creating your own manual for employees

Mr Naganuma:
When I joined the company, I was involved in creating the manual at the timing when KING OF TIME started a full-scale operation.

I knew that KING OF TIME had a manual for employees, but we have our own rules, so we decided to create our own manual for employees.

Announcements to employees were sent by email and shared on the internal bulletin board.

Mr Nakagome:
At the beginning of the introduction, there were many inquiries.

At first, there were many questions such as “I can’t log in”, “I don’t know my password”, “I want you to tell me your ID”, etc.

As you use it, you can see the “correct appearance of the organization”

Mr Nakagome:
I think KING OF TIME is a “should be introduced!” tool.

At first, I felt “Is it possible …?” And “It’s a hassle”, but it’s not a difficult operation such as a program or code, and you can set it just by reading the function name and operation.

I think that if you make time and remember while checking, you will be a strong ally. The support is also great, and they will help you politely & swiftly.

Mr Naganuma:
The interface is easy to understand like Office software, and I felt that I could intuitively understand “what is this?” When I interact with it. Attendance management is complicatedly linked to core systems such as accounting, but I think the hurdles are low.

Mr Nakagome:
There is no system that is “ideal!” Bring it to the ideal shape while using it. In addition, through much trial and error, it is possible to discover that “it may be possible to use it in this way.”

Now that I can see the “correct form of the organization” at KING OF TIME, I would like to aim to create an organization that is easier to work in and feels worthwhile from the correct form.
