By integrating it with the talent management system kaonavi, PRONEXUS successfully streamlined training operations for approximately 1,500 employees across the main company and its group affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n  .sns-share {\n    display: -webkit-box;\n    display: -ms-flexbox;\n    display: flex;\n    column-gap: 20px;\n  }\n\n  .sns-share img {\n    height: 32px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"sns-share\">\n  <div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flearningbox.online%2Fen%2Fcasestudy%2Fcasestudy20250409%2F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon\/icon_facebook.svg\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\"><\/a><\/div>\n      <div><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearningbox.online%2Fen%2Fcasestudy%2Fcasestudy20250409%2F&text=%E3%80%90%E5%B0%8E%E5%85%A5%E4%BA%8B%E4%BE%8B%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%93%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%80%91%E6%A0%AA%E5%BC%8F%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%8D%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B5%E3%82%B9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon\/icon_twitter.svg\" alt=\"Post by X\"><\/a><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__l\">A Seamless Integration with kaonavi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">Can you describe your company's business and your roles?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;Initially, we were considering a different LMS that cost around 6 million yen per year. Around the same time, our HR department decided to implement the talent management system Kaonavi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My role involves quality control across our group companies and re-engineering business processes from the ground up. I also oversee internal system design, maintenance, and information security, including internal audits and log monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;I belong to the Quality Control and Business Reform Group. Our team is responsible for reviewing business processes and implementing new systems to drive operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What challenges led you to consider implementing a new e-learning system?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;We previously used a small-scale e-learning system that cost around 1 million yen annually. However, it only supported PDF uploads, which caused frequent character encoding issues. Each time we uploaded a file, we had to manually fix the garbled text, which took up to three hours per content piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the system only tracked user IDs, so we had to manually match them with employee names and departments. This created a heavy administrative burden and limited the system\u2019s adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We used it for biannual training on topics like information security, insider trading, and compliance, but the lack of video support and limited quiz formats made the training passive and uninspiring. There was also a growing demand for real-time tracking of training progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_02.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_02.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_02-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_02-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_02-18x10.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">How did you first learn about learningBOX, and what caught your attention?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;Initially, we were considering a different LMS that cost around 6 million yen per year. Around the same time, our HR department decided to implement the talent management system Kaonavi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our IT team introduced us to learningBOX, which integrates seamlessly with kaonavi and allows centralized ID management. That was a key factor in our decision to move forward with learningBOX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What were the deciding factors for choosing learningBOX?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;There were three main reasons. First, seamless Integration with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/features\/api\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/features\/api\/\">kaonavi<\/a>, the ability to centrally manage employee data was crucial for us. Second, intuitive user interface. We were impressed by how easy it was to use learningBOX without needing a manual. It\u2019s flexible\u2014you can create content from either the course or the material level, unlike our previous rigid system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third reason was cost efficiency. We opted for a dedicated server (now called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/pricing\/enterprise\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/pricing\/enterprise\/\">Enterprise<\/a>) due to our strict information management requirements. Surprisingly, the cost was much lower than expected. After a thorough evaluation, we officially implemented learningBOX in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__l\">Great Feedback from Employees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What has been your experience with learningBOX\u2019s customer support?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;The support has been excellent. Even when answers aren\u2019t immediate, the team always follows up thoroughly. We trust them completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">How are you currently using learningBOX?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;We conduct regular company-wide training sessions on information security, insider trading, and compliance. These are scheduled within specific timeframes. Including ad-hoc sessions, we\u2019ve launched over 60 training programs in the first year alone, with more than 20 instructors involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the training content, we assign&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.learningbox.online\/how-to-use\/management-authority\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.learningbox.online\/how-to-use\/management-authority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Management roles<\/a>\u00a0to instructors, and some of them have uploaded over 200 short videos in just three months. Others are building a content library and using surveys effectively. Access logs show that employees are engaging with the platform more than 20 times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;We have around 1,000 employees and 500 group company members using the system. Despite the large user base, we\u2019ve had no issues with permission settings or user management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_03.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_03-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Contents actually created by learningBOX. Contents are accumulated as a library.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">You\u2019ve made great use of short videos. Can you tell us more?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;We use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/pricing\/other-options\/#take-in-powerpoint\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/pricing\/other-options\/#take-in-powerpoint\">PowerPoint Material Import<\/a>&nbsp;to create videos and have subscribed to the \u201cPowerPoint Import\u201d option. This allows us to add animations and narration, making the content more engaging. It\u2019s been very well received by employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What feedback have you received from learners?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>Comp&amp;ared to our previous system, employees have nbsp;said the training is \u201cmuch easier to understand\u201d and \u201ca dramatic improvement.\u201d Instructors appreciate being able to manage and monitor training remotely. Many are excited to explore the platform\u2019s rich features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">Have you encountered any challenges in managing training?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;One issue is that while we can duplicate training content, we can\u2019t duplicate the assigned participants. This means we have to reassign them manually, which adds extra work. It would be helpful if both content and participants could be duplicated together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">Are there any other operational challenges?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019re still optimizing the kaonavi integration. Our organizational structure is complex, and sometimes the API doesn\u2019t read the hierarchy correctly. This makes it difficult to manage employee statuses, such as those on parental leave, and we occasionally have to handle things manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;When employees change departments, they may be removed from assigned training, which is another issue we\u2019re working to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;These challenges are more related to how our employee data is structured in kaonavi, rather than a problem with learningBOX itself. We\u2019re hoping to improve this through further collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What features of learningBOX do you find most user-friendly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;With our previous system, setting up training was time-consuming. Now, if the materials are ready, instructors can launch a course in under an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;The intuitive interface is a huge plus. We no longer need to read through manuals to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__l\">Dramatical Time and Cost Savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What measurable benefits have you seen since implementing learningBOX?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019ve seen significant time and cost savings. Let me share some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_05.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_05-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_05-768x263.jpg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_05-18x6.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;padding-top:0;font-size:14px\">*Surveyed by PRONEXUS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ones of the main time-consuming tasks were managing new hires and leavers, and content previews. Since we have lots of employees, it took tens of hours to check and review the information, but now we can manage employees easily and track uncompleted training with a simple search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content previews used to suffer from layout and color issues, but those problems are gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, we\u2019ve saved 60 hours annually on compliance training operations, translating to a cost reduction of approximately 1.5 million yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">Has the Kaonavi integration delivered the expected benefits?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;Absolutely. Previously, exporting and importing user data via CSV took one person two full days (15 hours). Now, with Kaonavi integration, the same task takes just 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_01.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_01-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_01-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/casestudy\/casestudy_202504_01-18x10.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">Have there been any other changes since adopting learningBOX?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;Some instructors are using the platform to build a knowledge library with essential reading materials and best practices. We\u2019re also seeing more group-specific training sessions, which shows how versatile the platform is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m--q\">What are your future plans for learningBOX?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Ito:<\/strong>&nbsp;We want to use learningBOX as a knowledge-sharing platform, not just for scheduled training. Our goal is to create a \u201cknowledge hub\u201d for the entire company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr. Tsukamoto:<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019re also considering sharing our training content with partner companies. Many of them lack the resources to conduct their own training, so we\u2019d like to support them by offering our content through a dedicated subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we want to expand training to include temporary and seconded employees, although there are still some hurdles to overcome, especially when their data isn\u2019t available in Kaonavi.
