Konica Minolta QOL Solutions Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Atsuhiro Noda; hereinafter "Konica Minolta QOL Solutions") announces the start of system integration between freee's attendance management system "freee Attendance Management Plus" and Konica Minolta's AI-powered automatic shift creation service "miramos," in cooperation with its parent company Konica Minolta, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshimitsu Ohsako; hereinafter "Konica Minolta") and freee K.K. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daisuke Sasaki; hereinafter "freee").
This system integration seamlessly links shift creation and attendance management, which tend to be fragmented in medical and nursing care settings, eliminating duplicate data entry and aggregation errors. The collaboration between AI shift automatic creation "miramos" and "freee Attendance Management Plus" achieves significant improvements in operational efficiency and a substantial reduction in paperwork burden.
This system integration was realized against the backdrop of Konica Minolta QOL Solutions recognizing the significant burden involved in shift creation through its "HitomeQ" business, which has engaged with many medical and nursing care sites. To further advance solutions for on-site challenges, this initiative expands efforts to improve operational efficiency into the back-office domain.
■ Reducing transcription work and freeing the medical and nursing care industries from complex shift creation and attendance management
In the medical and nursing care industries, in addition to 24/7 operations, compliance with complex work patterns and staffing standards for each job type is required. Therefore, balancing accurate attendance management with appropriate shift organization without increasing the burden on the front lines has been a major challenge. However, at many sites, when AI or systems were introduced, "shift table creation" and "attendance management" were fragmented, leading to duplicate data entry and aggregation errors.
With this system integration, AI-powered automatic shift creation can be performed on "miramos," and shift data files can be directly imported and reflected into "freee Attendance Management Plus" without processing. Furthermore, by importing attendance record data files exported from "freee Attendance Management Plus" into "miramos," it becomes possible to create documents for submission to administrative agencies on "miramos," thereby reducing the man-hours for document creation.
