What are the business IT tools that can be used for remote work? [Also for measures against new coronavirus infection! ] 】

These days, when the impact of the new coronavirus is still great, the period of patience continues.
There is data that the implementation rate of remote work by companies in Tokyo is actually over 50%, but is your company able to implement remote work?

• **There are various challenges and remote work is not progressing. **
• **We are working remotely, but we want to improve it even more. **
• **Although we have tried to introduce it, new operations and management related to remote work have occurred, and the person in charge is exhausted. **

I think the situation varies depending on the industry and the size of the company.

Common Challenges of Implementing Remote Work

At Colorkrew, where I work, we were one of the first to implement remote work in February 2020.
Nowadays, about 90% of our team members are working remotely, but there were still various issues at that time.

• **How do you clock in and out at home? **
• I don't know who works where...
• **I want to know how many members are at work today! **

We decided to address these issues with our own product, Colorkrew Biz, a business concierge tool.

"Yes, there is a Colorkrew Biz!"

What is an effective Colorkrew Biz for remote work?

Here, if you are familiar with Colorkrew Biz originally, you may have a question.

"Wait a minute.
Originally, Colorkrew Biz is based on the concept of reducing the number of nameless work ™ in the office related to people, goods, and money. Isn't it possible to use it in a remote work environment, not in the office?"

No, no, that's not the case.
Now that remote work has become more prevalent and where you work is more flexible, Colorkrew Biz has evolved into a useful tool that can reduce nameless work ™, not just in the office, but wherever you are!
It is especially effective as a solution to the problems that arise in remote work.

It's easy to do.

Prepare a "QR code for remote work",
**When working remotely, load and check in with the Colorkrew Biz app on your smartphone. **

That's all.

What can you do with this...

(1) You can check in with the app

Colorkrew Biz is clocking in and out (attendance)*, so when you check in, you will be checking in as it is.

You don't have to go out of your way to set up an attendance system to clock in.
*(Please contact us for the linked attendance system.) ）

(2) Attendance status at a glance

With the seat display function, you can see at a glance in real time who is coming to work and working remotely.

Even though you work remotely, there are times when you want someone in the company to check on you. Normally, I would go to work with someone who is likely to come to work, check their schedule, and see if they are coming to work... What a hassle.
This is a nameless job ™ related to finding people.

I want you to stop doing that now and use Colorkrew Biz.
You can see who is coming to work by looking at the seating chart.
In addition, the search leads to email and Teams chat, so you can contact them as they are.

(3) Easy to calculate attendance rate

Knowing which members are working remotely means that you can also calculate the attendance rate!

You can easily calculate important indicators that can help you understand whether remote work is being implemented well!
Other companies that want to reduce the attendance rate can use the seat reservation function to control attendance.

Colorkrew Biz × remote work, it may be an unexpected combination.
However, I think the good thing about Colorkrew Biz is that it can be used in an applied way just by changing the mindset that if it can be done in-house, it can be done outside the company.

It's not just about using remote work! Other recommended new corona measures

From here, as a healthcare manager who protects the safety and health of the company, we will introduce two new corona measures that can be taken using Colorkrew Biz.

(1) Reduce the risk of infection with contactless seating

Are there any offices or sites that still use common punching machines?
Some punching machines need to be operated directly with bare hands, so there is a risk of infection with the new coronavirus.

If you use a QR code, you can clock in without touching such a device, so you can rest assured that there is no risk of infection!

(2) Don't worry even if it happens! Easily identify close contacts

No matter how much measures you take, I think there will be any contingencies.
If there is an infected person in the company, it is necessary to quickly identify the close contact.

If you use Colorkrew Biz, you will also have a seat log, and you can easily see who was sitting in a nearby seat, which will help you identify close contacts!

Just knowing what you are going to do will make the person in charge feel at ease.
Why don't you use QR codes to combat the new corona in your company?
