Kintone
Kintone by Cybozu is a no-code business app platform. Build custom CRM, order management, and HR apps without coding — widely used for digital transformation in Japanese companies.

It's ideal for teams who want to build CRM workflows that fit their own process rather than conforming to a standard Salesforce model. You'll encounter it frequently as the operational system of Japanese partners and clients, so it's worth understanding before integration needs arise.

Can I migrate existing Excel data to Kintone?
Yes, CSV import makes it easy to migrate existing data.
How is it different from Salesforce?
