FAQ
Questions we hear first
Can we work with your team in Japanese?
Yes. Status reports, documentation and QA sign-off can all run in Japanese, with weekly reports in both Japanese and English.
What is the time difference between Japan and India?
India is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Japan. Our office opens at 9:30 in Chennai, which is 13:00 in Tokyo, so meetings, questions and reviews fit into your afternoon.
Which contract types do you offer?
Contract development (受託開発) for a fixed scope, a dedicated lab team (ラボ型開発) reserved for you month by month, and maintenance and operations (保守・運用) for systems already in production.
Can you customise kintone beyond the standard settings?
Yes. We extend kintone with JavaScript and plug-in customisation and the REST API, and document each change for your administrators.
Can kintone connect to our other systems?
Yes. We integrate kintone with business systems, databases and cloud services using the REST API and DataSpider.
Can you move our spreadsheets or Access files into kintone?
Yes. We review the data and how your team uses it today, design the apps, then migrate the records and check them with you.
