Continuous Development (Lab-Type) of "Chobiit for kintone," a Service for External Data Integration and Sharing with kintone

Challenge

While kintone is powerful for improving efficiency within a company, it does not offer a standard way to share information with people outside the organization, such as business partners or part-time staff. As a result, companies had to rely on analog communication methods like email, fax, and phone calls, which led to scattered information and duplicate data management.

  • Every time kintone information needed to be shared externally, it had to be manually transcribed and communicated
  • Inquiries and applications from outside parties had to be received through a separate form and then manually re-entered into kintone
  • Controlling the scope of sharing and ensuring security depended heavily on individual staff members

Solution & Team

"Chobiit for kintone" is an external integration service that seamlessly connects the "inside" and "outside" of kintone, and we continue to develop and expand it under a lab-type team structure. It enables viewing, registering, editing, and deleting records from outside kintone, achieving two-way information sharing with external parties.

  • Two sharing modes: a "user-authenticated" mode where users linked to a kintone account log in to operate the service, and a "public" mode that anyone can view and register to without logging in.
  • Web form feature: can be used as an inquiry or survey form, with submitted content automatically registered as a record in the kintone app.
  • Operational support features: list display, comments, email notifications, automatic GPS data capture, iframe output, thank-you page settings, and more.
  • Security: ISO 27001 certified, with regular vulnerability assessments.

The service runs on a cloud infrastructure on AWS, combining a Java backend with a JavaScript/React frontend.

Team: A dedicated lab-type team of 1-2 BrSEs and 3-4 development engineers (varying by year). Responsible for planning, requirements definition, basic design, detailed design, UI/UX, development, integration/system testing, and maintenance.
Period: Since June 2022, ongoing
Engagement: Lab-type (dedicated team)
