It is a business chat service with a full range of groupware features that can be used on-site. These include not only chat and stamps, but also bulletin boards, calendars, address books, surveys, and more. It is uniquely designed and offered as a work tool that is as easy to use just like the “LINE” communication application. Most functions can be used on smartphones alone, in addition to PCs and tablets. This is the reason why the system is used not only in the office, but also in manufacturing plants, stores and other locations.
