Case Study: KOKUYO achieves 138% year-over-year sales growth with Slack

How Kokuyo used Slack to achieve 138% year-over-year sales growth

KOKUYO, Japan’s leading manufacturer of stationery, office furniture and office equipment, needed to modernize its processes and speed up the launch of new projects across sales, production and development. Its Hundred Yen Project had been slowed by siloed communication and long development cycles, so KOKUYO turned to Slack to support faster, cross-functional collaboration.

KOKUYO implemented Slack as a central hub for project threads, team communication and shared market insights. With Slack, the company cut development time in half, grew Hundred Yen Project sales 138% year over year and 388% versus two years prior, and improved operational efficiency and productivity.
