Some emerging businesses in Japan are adopting cloud-based technologies to manage human resources data, freeing them from spending on expensive infrastructure upgrades.
Japanese-style pub operator United & Collective Co. adopted such a system for personnel and labor management last summer from SmartHR Inc., a Tokyo-based software developer, to streamline clerical work.
It is hiring more employees in line with a plan to increase its number of pubs to 200 by 2020 from the roughly 60 currently in the Tokyo area, and its human resources management workload has subsequently increased.
