Sagawa Express, part of Sagawa Holdings, is a major logistics company in Japan that's been actively investing in digital experiences to keep up with an ever-changing industry. To address key concerns affecting their frontline workforce, including a shortage of drivers and rising transportation costs, Sagawa has been promoting labor-saving practices and streamlining operations through digitalization of daily communication. Early adoption leads to new opportunities Sagawa Express was an early adopter of Microsoft Teams in 2020 and has since relied on it as their business continued to evolve. Yet one critical communication challenge emerged: many drivers were using different tools to communicate, creating a digital divide impacting the flow of real-time information sharing and trust. "Since the pandemic, communication via Teams has become widespread in the back office, but sales drivers who are responsible for delivering to customers were using a different communication tool instead of Teams, which caused a digital divide. Information wasn't delivered in real time and wasn't being shared effectively," says Azutaka Nambu, General Manager, Digital Planning Department, Sagawa Express. Crisis reveals communication gaps This issue became clear during a large-scale disaster that caused disorganized information, disrupted operations, and instances where important updates didn’t reach the frontline. In a business where speed and accuracy are crucial, Sagawa Express needed a more unified solution. Their answer: expand what was already working. The back office was already using Microsoft Teams for communication, but sales drivers — responsible for deliveries — were using a separate tool. To close this gap, the company decided to standardize communication across all roles with Teams. A company-wide rollout of Teams and Office 365 F3 enabled their business to keep up growth, including higher delivery volumes and more partnerships with e-commerce sites."I was attracted to the fact that we can communicate information to everyone who has a license at the same time," says Toru Ota, Chief of the IT System Planning Section. This instant, company-wide communication capability became the foundation for transforming how Sagawa Express operates in the field. Immediate results drive lasting change The results were immediate and measurable. The increase in chat interactions between sales drivers and customer service staff reduced call times and created smoother communication workflows. Teams channels minimized the need for multiple phone calls internally and helped prevent miscommunication. For Sagawa Express, efficiency improvements aren't just about time; they're about driving real impact. Mr. Nambu emphasized how even small improvements in efficiency matter: “We believe that improving the efficiency of one minute and one second at the site will lead to a reduction in work time, which will lead to an increase in customer satisfaction, reduce the time spent moving cars, and ultimately help solve social issues like the reduction of greenhouse gases.” Frontline workers empowered by efficient communication The most remarkable outcome emerged organically. Workers began solving problems for each other in ways their leadership hadn't anticipated, with employees from different sales offices jumping in to answer questions before management could respond. Some team members became so engaged with the platform that they started asking if Teams could support employee engagement initiatives in HR. Frontline transformation through unified communication The transformation at Sagawa Express demonstrates that when frontline workers have unified communication tools, they don't just execute tasks more efficiently—they become active contributors to organizational knowledge and innovation. The measurable results speak for themselves: reduced response times, improved customer satisfaction, and potential environmental benefits through optimized operations. For organizations still navigating post-pandemic operational challenges, Sagawa Express's journey offers a clear roadmap. The need for digital transformation isn't diminishing—it's evolving. Companies that empower their frontline teams with the right technology, positioning themselves to thrive in an increasingly connected world. Microsoft Teams features that made the difference Sagawa Express's success was powered by specific Microsoft Teams capabilities designed for frontline workers: Company-wide broadcasting: Instant messaging to all licensed users simultaneously ensuring critical information reaches everyone, from drivers to back-office staff. Cross-functional channels: Sales drivers and customer service teams collaborate in dedicated channels, reducing phone calls and eliminating communication silos. Mobile-first design: Drivers access Teams on mobile devices, staying connected while on delivery routes without disrupting their workflow. Integration with Office 365 F3: Frontline-specific licensing provides essential productivity tools without overwhelming complexity or unnecessary features. Real-time problem solving: Workers across different locations can share knowledge and solutions instantly, turning individual challenges into collective learning opportunities.

Frontline organizations succeed when the right people are in the right place and the right work gets done—every shift, every day. In Session 4 of Microsoft Frontline Fridays we’ll show how Shifts and the Planner app (Tasks publishing) inside Microsoft Teams replace paper rosters, email chains, and manual check-lists with an integrated, real-time system that drives productivity and cuts operational waste. REGISTER HERE FOR ALL FUTURE SESSIONS: aka.ms/frontlinefridays Pick the time that works for you July 10, 6:00 – 7:30 PM Pacific (UTC-7) – Optimizing operational efficiency – How to do more with less, at scale July 11, 9:00 – 10:30 AM Pacific (UTC-7) – Optimizing operational efficiency – How to do more with less, at scale Introduction to Frontline Fridays Frontline Fridays is a live, expert-led webinar series that tackles the most common questions we hear from customers deploying Microsoft‘s frontline solutions. Each 90-minute session focuses on a specific theme, walks through real product demos, and ends with open Q&A so you leave with clear next steps. What to expect in Session 4 Shifts – turn pen-and-paper schedules into a living roster Build and publish in minutes: managers copy last week’s pattern, make quick changes, and push the new roster to everyone from inside Teams—no more Excel version-control headaches. Open Shifts save time: post gaps for staff to claim; a new public-preview feature even lets managers publish those openings across multiple locations, tapping the wider labor pool when one site is short-staffed. Worker empowerment: frontline workers (FLWs) always know when they work, get instant notifications when a shift changes, set availability, swap or offer shifts, and request time-off—directly from their phone. Mobile time-clock with geolocation: employees clock-in/out in the Teams mobile app; if location detection is enabled, each punch captures GPS coordinates for compliance audits. Extensible by design: rich Microsoft Graph APIs plus Power Automate connectors let IT integrate Shifts with existing WFM or HR systems—or trigger flows such as sending an approval when someone picks up overtime. Planner – publish once, track work everywhere Front-office teams can create a single task list—be it a monthly safety walk, new product launch checklist, or training module—and publish it to hundreds of stores, clinics, or warehouses: Central creation, local execution: corporate or regional leaders build the list in Planner and decide which Teams (locations) receive it; managers assign tasks and frontline staff complete them on mobile, desktop, or web. New capabilities for frontline scenarios: recent updates add per-employee task lists, automatic recurrence for repeat inspections, mandatory photo / form submission, and built-in approval steps before a task can be marked done. Roll-up reporting: publishers see real-time dashboards that show completion status by location, list, or individual task—so you can intervene before missed tasks hurt KPIs. Why together is better Because Shifts and Planner live side-by-side in Teams, a manager can adjust tomorrow’s roster and immediately confirm that today’s tasks are finished, while a worker can check next week’s shifts and tick off the closing checklist—all without switching apps. Power Automate closes the loop, enabling scenarios like “when an open shift is approved, create a cleaning task” or “send a reminder if a site hasn’t completed its weekly audit.” One platform, fewer silos, measurable results.
