Problem

Staff at the Japanese car-products retailer prepared monthly reports and handover material by hand. Many employees also preferred to keep working in spreadsheets.

Approach

Autobacs Seven moved to Google Workspace with Gemini. Staff used Gemini to search across mail and files and to draft monthly reports. Google Meet transcripts and summaries listed decisions and tasks. A Gemini notebook gathered store-system specifications, manuals and change histories for people who changed posts or joined the company. The company planned to cut spreadsheet use to about 25%, which is a target and not a result.

Results

2〜3分time to prepare a monthly report with Gemini, down from 30 minutes to 1 hour, as stated by the company on a Google Workspace customer pageCompany's own claim[1]

25%planned share of spreadsheet use at the end of the rollout, down from about 50% at the start; a target, not a resultCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported time saving came from a routine document, the monthly report. The spreadsheet reduction was still a plan when the story ran.
