Calby develops applications on ServiceNow’s cloud platform-supports new regular working methods-ZDNet Japan

Japan’s ServiceNow announced that Calby has started to develop and run an application to use its cloud platform “Now Platform” to control employee attendance. The application is suitable for approximately 450 employees in the headquarters.

The application implements the work flow from employee attendance application registration to sending approval request email and superior and superior approval, and can search attendance schedules by individual, date and department.

In conventional routine application development, it usually takes several months from planning to release, but this time with the Now Platform, from the development decision including operation verification to the entire company-wide operation. The process can be completed within 8 working days.

Calby announced on June 25 that it will work indefinitely under mobile work. On July 1, the “New Normal” work style “Calbee New Workstyle” was launched for office workers.

The company regards “mobile work standardization and full-function introduction” as one of the three pillars of the new working method. Office workers should in principle carry out mobile work and cancel the core time of flexible work. In this way, our goal is “attendance rate of about 30%.” Therefore, there is an urgent need for the Human Resources and General Affairs Department to understand the current status of employee attendance, and the information system department that received the response request developed the application using Now Platform.

The background of using ServiceNow for application development is that Calby adopted Now Platform in 2019 as its own DX (digital conversion) corresponding business platform.
