[Case Study] Internalizing a Staff Management System for 20,000 Employees with SPIRAL – Maintaining Lean Operations Despite a 10x Increase in Projects. Seamless Low-Code Integration from Recruitment to Payment.

Overview Spiral Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and Group CEO: Nobuaki Saya) provided its flagship low-code development platform, 'SPIRAL ver.1,' to NieV Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Taro Inaba), enabling the internal development of their staff management system. NieV specializes in organizing aptitude tests and university entrance exams, requiring coordination with approximately 20,000 registered exam supervisors.

Background Previously, staff information was managed via a combination of paper and Excel, leading to increased operational burdens and security concerns as the number of registrants grew. NieV chose 'SPIRAL ver.1' for its ease of use for non-engineers, cost-effectiveness, and flexible, staged implementation.

System Implementation Following the adoption of 'SPIRAL ver.1,' NieV built a dedicated 'My Page' for staff and transitioned to ID-based management. They automated the creation of recruitment pages and forms and built management dashboards for employees, allowing those without specialized technical knowledge to register and update job information. Furthermore, they automated batch job notifications, on-site shift confirmation for test days, and expense reporting, creating an end-to-end operational workflow within the platform.

Benefits 1. Operational Efficiency and Speed: Standardizing management interfaces eliminated dependency on specific individuals. 2. Scaling Projects 10x with Lean Resources: Despite a tenfold increase in project volume, the core team responsible for coordination remains at 4–5 employees. 3. Continuous Improvement via Internalization: A culture has been established where staff actively suggest improvements to optimize operations independently.

Spiral Co., Ltd. continues to focus on providing secure development platforms to help customers solve business challenges and enhance their digital transformation capabilities.
