SmartHR and kintone Launch Data Integration

SmartHR, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masato Serizawa), operator of the cloud-based HR software 'SmartHR,' launched an integration plugin with Cybozu, Inc.'s (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshihisa Aono) 'kintone' on May 27th. The plugin was developed by Nix Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Nariatsu Matsumoto).

By using this plugin, synchronization of employee data between 'SmartHR' and 'kintone' becomes easy. Executing the plugin allows information updated in one system to be accurately reflected in the other, streamlining complex tasks such as manual transcription and CSV processing or uploading.

■ Overview of Integration
Many companies use 'SmartHR' for core HR information and 'kintone' for field-specific tasks (such as equipment lending, system access requests, and training management). By utilizing this plugin, it is possible to reflect employee data registered in 'SmartHR' into the 'Employee Master App' in 'kintone' (new registration/updates). Additionally, if new employee data is registered in 'kintone' from the field, it can be directly linked and registered to 'SmartHR' through the plugin. This plugin reduces the burden of double entry and prevents data discrepancies.

■ Features
Reduction of manual work through synchronization: In addition to syncing data from SmartHR to kintone, information on kintone can also be registered to SmartHR. This eliminates the need for CSV exporting, processing, and uploading, resolving issues with dual data management.

Easy operation from kintone: The plugin is installed directly within the kintone app, allowing for intuitive operation. Even without advanced IT knowledge, users can sync information whenever necessary, supporting field-led business improvements.

Reliable development quality by Nix: Nix Inc., which has a strong track record in kintone development, handles the development and maintenance, ensuring data integrity and robust security in complex bidirectional synchronization.
