OM Network Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture; hereinafter 'the Company'), provider of the shift management SaaS 'R-Shift,' has surpassed 300 completed customization projects.
One of the essential strengths of SaaS is that operational knowledge from many companies is accumulated in the product, which continuously evolves as standard features. The ability to use functions that correspond to the industry's 'current state' without having to maintain an in-house system—that is one of the reasons for choosing a cloud SaaS.
On the other hand, many have likely experienced situations like 'we implemented a generic SaaS, but it didn't fit our company's operations,' or 'our request for integration with an existing system was rejected.'
R-Shift addresses both. It gives shape to site-specific requirements through customization while feeding that knowledge back into the entire SaaS. This cycle allows R-Shift to continue evolving in response to the increasing complexity of shift management in the retail and distribution industries. The 300 customization projects we have accumulated are a testament to this cycle.
## Shift Management in the Retail and Distribution Industry is Reaching the 'Limits of Complication'
Against a backdrop of chronic labor shortages, employment types have diversified as never before, including full-time employees, part-timers, temporary staff, and those on reduced hours. At the same time, the act of 'creating a shift' itself has become significantly more complex than before, with requirements for data integration with internal systems like sales management, HR, and time & attendance, as well as linking shift plans with business figures such as sales budgets and customer traffic.
Amid a growing number of voices saying, 'We introduced a generic SaaS, but it didn't fit our operations,' R-Shift has been tackling these issues from both sides: enhancing standard features and maintaining on-site responsiveness.
## The Value of R-Shift: Standard Features + 'Development That Doesn't Say No'
### First, Building a Foundation for Operational Efficiency with Standard Features
R-Shift comes standard with the shift management functions necessary for store operations in the retail, distribution, and service industries. It offers a full suite of features that can contribute to on-site efficiency immediately after implementation, such as AI-powered automatic shift creation, work schedule management, and staff hour aggregation and management. Many companies begin their shift management digital transformation (DX) within the scope of these standard features.
### Responding to 'Deeper' Requests with 'Development That Doesn't Say No'
After operations are running smoothly with standard features, it is not uncommon for requests to arise, such as 'we want to integrate with our existing systems,' 'we want to link budgets with shifts,' or 'we need support for our unique labor rules.'
The reason R-Shift can confidently say 'we don't say no' to these requests is that our in-house development team handles everything from requirement definition to production deployment, without relying on outsourcing. Because we understand every detail of the specifications ourselves, we can flexibly respond to 'requirements unique to us.'
The knowledge accumulated through 300 customizations is not limited to individual company support but is sequentially fed back into R-Shift's standard features. Functions that could not have been born from a single company are created from the front lines of many companies and accumulate as value for the entire SaaS—this is one of the reasons R-Shift continues to be chosen.
## Three Common Challenges Identified from 300 On-Site Cases
### Challenge 1: Integration with Existing Systems
Data integration with systems already operating within the company, such as sales management, HR, and time & attendance systems, is a requirement that almost always comes up during implementation discussions. For the need to 'refresh only shift management while utilizing current systems,' the cases where a generic SaaS can provide standard support are limited.
### Challenge 2: Linking Budgets/KPIs with Shift Planning
It is not uncommon for companies to have their shift planning disconnected from business figures like sales budgets, customer traffic, and inventory receiving volumes. The desire for 'personnel allocation based on numbers, not intuition' is a common theme across a wide range of business types, including supermarkets and drug stores.
### Challenge 3: Handling Complex Employment Types and Labor Rules
As employment types diversify—including full-time, part-time, temporary, and reduced-hour staff—there is an increasing number of cases where company-specific or store-specific work rules and contract conditions cannot be fully managed with standard features.
## Future Outlook
Structural changes such as labor shortages and the diversification of employment types are expected to continue. Our company will continue to address the shift management challenges faced by the retail, distribution, and service industries and accumulate further customization experience.
The knowledge gained in that process will be sequentially fed back into R-Shift's standard features. A solution born from one company's site will be provided as a readily available feature for another company facing the same challenge. By continuing this cycle, R-Shift will remain a SaaS that evolves to meet the demands of modern shift management.
