Reduce coordination time! Focus on essential work to realize the vision
CancerWith is a non-profit organization that aims to solve cancer issues that affect as many people as possible in order to create a measurable and beneficial social impact with the mission of "enabling people with cancer to make their own choices and continue to be the main actors in their lives. We work with all people affected by cancer to help them realize a world in which they can live their own lives. It provides information to cancer patients and their families, and supports them to lead their own lives while respecting their individual choices through emotional support, social integration, financial assistance, and vocational reintegration support. In addition, Jicoo provides comprehensive solutions, including awareness-raising activities and psychological support, to address various cancer-related challenges, such as information asymmetry, social stigma, psychological burden, financial burden, and barriers to returning to work. By implementing Jicoo, the corporation was able to automate all meetings. Coordination time was reduced by 99%.

ProblemNeed a more efficient way to conduct business as a non-profit organization.
CancerWith was experiencing challenges in booking an increasing number of meetings. Our objectives were diverse, including scheduling meetings with external stakeholders for fundraising, test marketing for business launches, and scheduling for visa hearings for business launches. Since we have just launched our NPO and all of our members have their day jobs, and our activities as a non-profit organization have time constraints, we need to prioritize our work and proceed efficiently. Frequent checking of Google calendars and coordination of potential dates via email can lead to double-booking when there are multiple coordinating parties. A cost-effective solution was needed for book coordination work involving multiple coordinating parties and multiple stakeholders.
SolutionAutomated and flexible book arrangements
We have introduced Jicoo, which is linked to Google Calendar and then allows users to make bookings based on available dates. In addition, a routing form can be used to sort out the coordinating parties and make adjustments on the most appropriate booking page. Jicoo's location makes it possible to set up communication methods such as web conferencing and phone calls before proceeding with the coordination, and the URL can be issued automatically. Sudden schedule changes and cancellations can now be handled flexibly. Through the system, it is now possible to realize the optimal schedule based on the schedule when proposing dates, and the flexibility to respond to schedule changes, etc.
BenefitReduced 2-week interaction to 5 minutes
With the introduction of Jicoo, a book exchange that used to take two weeks can now be completed in five minutes. The calendar integration also eliminates the risk of double bookings. Atsushi Nitasaka, Executive Director of NPO CancerWith, says, "We no longer have to waste time on unnecessary chores related to book adjustments, and we no longer have to occupy brain resources while making adjustments. While we were booking, I was worried that something else might come up during the tentative reservation time we had given to the client. Now that we can leave the book coordination to the tool, we can focus on the essential work, and we can think about the communication with the company and the essential work for the nonprofit. Jicoo has allowed the team to focus on essential activities and devote more time to strategy development and successful events. Jicoo will continue to support the activities of NPOs by offering a wide range of features and flexible pricing plans.
