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

Weblio streamlines project tracking for 45 million monthly visitors with Backlog

Weblio, a major online dictionary and web services provider in Japan, faced challenges with its outdated project management system, which was difficult for new and non-engineering employees to learn. This led to inefficiencies in file sharing and an inability to clearly track project responsibilities, creating a significant information gap. To address this, they turned to the vendor Backlog for its project management and issue tracking solutions.

By implementing Backlog, Weblio streamlined its task management and file sharing, as employees could now upload files directly to issues instead of relying on email. The solution provided clear visibility into project responsibilities and progress through user-friendly features like Gantt charts. The success at their Fukuoka branch led Weblio to roll out Backlog across all offices, resulting in improved collaboration and project tracking company-wide.
