Case Study: Weblio improves file sharing and project tracking with Backlog

Improving File Sharing and Project Tracking With Backlog

Weblio, a Fukuoka-based online service with 60 employees and 45 million monthly visitors, needed a better way to manage projects after its decade-old system became difficult for new hires, especially non-engineers, to learn. The team also struggled with file sharing, visibility into who was responsible for each project, and an expanding information gap.

Backlog provided Weblio with project management, issue tracking, and task management tools that were easier for non-engineers to use, including helpful icons and a Gantt chart. With Backlog, Weblio improved collaboration, tracked progress more clearly, shared files directly within issues, and made ownership easier to see. The success at the Fukuoka branch led Weblio to roll out Backlog across all office locations.
