Kintone Plugins (Four Types) × Operating Platform

IT Consulting Client B

Challenge and Context

The client was progressing with operational improvements based on Kintone and faced several requirements:

  • Developing multiple plugins in parallel, with the intention of packaging them as their own offering
  • Implementing licensing and authentication as usage and user numbers increased
  • Designing a plugin architecture that works reliably within Kintone’s constraints

Off-the-shelf plugins and external tools did not fully meet these needs, so they engaged Arsdot to develop custom plugins alongside an operator-facing platform for management and tracking.

Outcomes

Plugin development improved operational efficiency.

We delivered four Kintone plugins in parallel, enabling the client to offer them as part of their own portfolio. Alongside licensing, authentication, and usage tracking, the platform provides a flexible way to streamline a range of internal workflows.

How Arsdot approached it

  • In-depth exploration of Kintone’s capabilities and the client’s business requirements
  • Implementation of licensing and authentication to reduce operational overhead
  • Architecture designed to maximise extensibility within Kintone’s constraints

We aligned Kintone’s specifications with the client’s operational needs, resulting in plugin designs that suited both. To support ongoing operations, we implemented licensing and authentication and enabled usage tracking.

As a result, the client is now able to operate their Kintone plugins effectively as a first-party offering.

    What stood out after working with Arsdot?

    A

    They understood our requirements quickly and approached the implementation with great care. We plan to continue developing further and hope to keep working together.
