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

Improving file sharing and project tracking with Backlog

Weblio, a company that runs the largest online dictionary service in Japan, faced significant challenges with its outdated project management system, which was difficult for new and non-engineering employees to learn. This led to an expanding information gap and difficulties with file sharing and tracking project responsibilities. Seeking a more intuitive solution, they turned to the vendor Nulab and their product, Backlog.

Nulab's Backlog provided a user-friendly interface with features like Gantt charts and direct file uploads to issues, which streamlined collaboration and task management across all of Weblio's offices. The implementation resulted in dramatically improved file sharing, clearer assignment of responsibilities, and better project tracking. The solution was so successful at their Fukuoka branch that Weblio rolled out Backlog as the standard project management tool company-wide.
