Yayoi Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kenichiro Muto, hereinafter "Yayoi") announced that it has entered into a business partnership with TECO Design Inc. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Shin Sugino, hereinafter "TECO Design") and will begin offering an initial setup agency service for the cloud attendance management system "Yayoi Kintai Next" starting July 1, 2026 (Wed). Through this partnership, TECO Design will be appointed as an "Official Setup Partner" and will provide comprehensive support, from initial design and setup to operational launch, for companies implementing "Yayoi Kintai Next". Background In recent years, the back-office domain for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has seen a shift towards cloud-based attendance management and payroll calculation, driven by the need to comply with legal systems, address labor shortages, and improve operational efficiency and paperless processes. However, for companies with dozens of employees, employment rules, employment categories, work styles, and leave systems tend to become complex, leading to a significant burden in initial setup. Especially when migrating from desktop software to cloud services, it is necessary to review not only system operations but also business design and settings, which can sometimes lead to implementation delays or stagnant utilization. To address these challenges, Yayoi will collaborate with TECO Design to provide onboarding support, primarily focused on initial setup agency services, for companies implementing "Yayoi Kintai Next". TECO Design has extensive experience in supporting cloud implementations in the human resources and labor domain, with a track record of supporting over 1,000 implementations. Value Provided by This Partnership This partnership will enable implementing companies to achieve the following: Significantly reduce initial setup time and begin operations early. Achieve appropriate labor management through settings
