Proud Partners: what we do

Founded in 2012 by Ryuji Suzuki, Proud Partners is a provider of support for foreign workers under the Specified Skills scheme in Japan. This is a special program for laborers from other countries in Japan. Now, Proud Partners is number one in supporting foreigners working in the restaurant and construction industries. We support laborers throughout their entire journey, starting from initial consulting and helping with visa applications to addressing rental issues.

The challenge: overcome manual visa application delays

Proud Partners supports foreigners in finding work and applying for working visas in Japan. Due to the bureaucracy-heavy framework in Japan, a number of documents must be generated, completed, and signed before lodging visa applications. We handle this manually. However, the explosive increase in candidates meant we could not keep up with the admin work.

The solution: automating visa documentation with Plumsail Documents

With the help of Plumsail Documents, the whole process of handling visa applications is automated as much as possible. Plumsail allows documentation to be generated from within the company recruitment records and sent to the appropriate person, limiting the amount of manual labor required.

Being able to tie Plumsail to Airtable via Zapier is absolutely fantastic in generating the many documents required to arrange visa applications for foreigner laborers coming to Japan.

Plumsail Documents also features a direct integration with Airtable, providing everything needed for creating documents directly from Airtable. Zapier serves as a great addition for automating workflows on new or updated records.

The result: increase document handling efficiency

Plumsail Documents automated our papers; made them more accurate and cut the processing time. It's difficult to calculate the time cost we're saving with Plumsail. It's definitely huge. The thing is that we process much more documents now with the same number of staff.
