BALLEGS Co., Ltd. (Head office: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tomoyuki Omoto), which operates businesses in the real estate and construction sectors with the mission of "Cherishing connections and enriching lives in this city," announces the launch of its "Time Stamp Chat Bot" implementation support service. This service, which links the business chat "LINE WORKS" with the work style reform platform "TeamSpirit," is now available to companies that have already implemented or are considering implementing TeamSpirit.
This service is based on a successful case where our company internally developed and company-wide implemented the "Time Stamp Chat Bot" to solve the attendance management challenges faced by sales representatives who are frequently out of office and site managers. This time, we have systematized the know-how gained from our self-led DX promotion and started offering it to other TeamSpirit user companies facing similar challenges. Our internal implementation efforts have been featured as an advanced case study on media operated by TeamSpirit Inc.
**Story Leading to Development: "Realities on Site" and "The Wall of Time Stamps" Resonated in the Community**
Mr. Ota, the head of our company's Management Planning Office, has been deeply involved since the inception of the "TeamSpirit Community," where TeamSpirit users interact. Through this, he reaffirmed the deep-rooted problem that many HR and labor managers, regardless of industry, face: "We just can't reduce missed clock-ins."
Our company was no exception. An internal survey revealed earnest voices such as "It's bothersome to open a mobile app when I'm out" and "Sometimes I can't clock in with one attempt due to poor signal." For busy on-site staff, even small operational steps became a psychological hurdle. Therefore, we focused on "LINE WORKS," which employees always open daily for customer support and other tasks, and thought, "If they could clock in as easily as sending a LINE message, they wouldn't have to be so conscious of the system."
**Rapid In-house Development through "AI-Driven Development" Realizes On-site DX**
With no related functional offerings from TeamSpirit, our company decided to pursue in-house development. We are promoting "in-house development up to the implementation of AI utilization," and this system was also speedily developed by our internal system engineers participating in the community, fully leveraging AI.
As a result, a mechanism was completed that allows employees to clock in and out with a single tap from the LINE WORKS chat screen, and internal operation began in January 2026.
**Three Values Provided by the Time Stamp Chat Bot (Our Company's Achievements)**
1. **Minimized Clock-in Effort, Mobile-Completed Direct Commute Support** Clocking in can be completed instantly from the familiar LINE WORKS app, enabling smooth attendance reporting even while commuting or from job sites.
2. **Improved Management through Real-time Attendance Grasp** Managers can accurately and in real-time understand their team members' working status, allowing for appropriate working hour management and health considerations.
3. **Significant Reduction in Month-End Closing and Correction Work** As a result of our company's internal implementation, the hassle of clocking in was resolved, leading to approximately an 18% reduction in missed monthly clock-ins per employee. This has reduced the person-hours for confirmation and correction work that concentrated in the back office at month-end.
**From "Our Company's Success" to "Solving Other Companies' Challenges": Comment from Ryo Ota, Manager of Management Planning Office, BALLEGS Co., Ltd.**
"We started trial operations in January 2026, and it was surprisingly smooth. We received thankful feedback from the field that 'stress has decreased,' and the issue of missed clock-ins, which had been a problem, visibly improved.
The decision to offer this successful internal tool externally came from insights gained within the TeamSpirit Community. Knowing that a certain number of users in the community utilized 'LINE WORKS' through a survey, I felt, 'This mechanism might be able to solve the problem of missed clock-ins that many HR and labor managers face.'
From the inception of the community, I have received many benefits from everyone at TeamSpirit and the participating users. Therefore, I believe that rolling out this service as a solution born from the community will, in turn, contribute to the overall enthusiasm and revitalization of the community, and hopefully serve as a small way to give back."
