■ What is "SekiNavi"?
"SekiNavi" is an attendance management tool that allows users to see "who is where and what they are doing" at a glance.
Since its launch in June 2020, it has been well-received for its "simple and intuitive operability" and "profile function with photos that show the user's personality."
Especially with the increase in hybrid work and changes in working styles in recent years, it removes inefficiencies and barriers in internal communication, such as "Where is that person again?" or "I don't know if I can talk to them," thereby realizing smooth internal collaboration.
■ Overview and Award Details of "ITreview Grid Award"
The ITreview Grid Award is an award that recognizes products supported by users, presented quarterly, based on user reviews gathered on ITreview, combining customer satisfaction and market recognition.
The "Leader" award, which "SekiNavi" received this time, is a title awarded only to products with both high satisfaction and high recognition, serving as proof that it is a product trusted by many users and leading the industry.
■ Background of the Award: "SekiNavi's" Evaluation Points Seen from User Reviews
"SekiNavi" has been introduced by many companies as a tool to instantly visualize "who is where" for companies advancing hybrid work and free addressing. For this first "Leader" award, the following three points have been particularly praised based on actual user feedback received on ITreview:
Overwhelming "Ease of Introduction" and "Simplicity of Operation" Requiring No Manual
Numerous comments such as "Intuitive to use without a manual" and "Smooth company-wide deployment regardless of IT literacy" indicate that the low barrier to entry leads to high satisfaction.
"Reduction of Waste" in Phone Call Transfers and Consultations
Specific improvements in practical productivity are highly evaluated, such as "The waste and burden of phone call transfers have drastically decreased because the attendance status and whether someone is in a meeting or on leave can be seen at a glance," and "It saves the trouble of asking 'Where are you now?' on Teams."
"Generous Support System" that Reduces the Burden on Staff
The supportive system after implementation, with comments like "Requests are quickly linked to actual feature improvements" and "Support is polite and responsive," has also been a major factor in gaining trust.

"We are extremely honored to receive our first 'Leader' badge. This award is thanks to all our users who regularly utilize 'SekiNavi' and provide valuable feedback.
In particular, the fact that the reviews mention real-world benefits in the field, such as 'ease of use' and 'efficiency in phone call transfers,' is proof that our development philosophy has reached them and serves as a great encouragement. As an 'infrastructure connecting teams in an era where work location is not chosen,' we will continue to strive for further service improvement."
■ "SekiNavi's" Features and Benefits of Introduction
"SekiNavi" allows for easy attendance management and utilization by anyone, with simple and intuitive operation that requires no manual. Beyond just seating management, its profile function with photos activates communication.
Support is provided not only before introduction but also after implementation by dedicated customer success managers, enabling a reduction in operational effort for tasks such as seating layout changes and user additions.
