Chris Yang

Chief Operating Officer

"Lark has enabled us to work better as a team by improving communication between departments and allowing the team to have better oversight on the activities of different teammates. As we continue to grow, we are glad to have a partner like Lark."

Company Profile

Osakakuma is the latest in a growing list of specialty e-commerce catering to very niche consumers. The company, founded in Singapore works to bring leading Japanese skincare brands like SK-II, Shisedo and more to a growing legion of beauty-obsessed consumers in Southeast Asia. In order to ensure steady growth and an agility to solve the kinds of issues that young, innovative companies have, the founders turned to Lark’s innovative collaboration platform.

The Challenge

In the beginning, Osakakuma relied on basic, off-the shelf communication platforms like WeChat that were not built for proper enterprise-grade collaboration and communication.

In particular, WeChat was unable to handle the complex documentation and chat management that the growing Osakakuma team needed. Also, unlike Lark’s global server footprint, other solutions the team tried had geographical restrictions, making communicating with regional teams a hassle.

The Lark Advantage

Lark’s comprehensive suite of enterprise collaboration tools allowed Osakakuma to unify all their collaboration and communications tasks in a single platform.

Off the bat, Lark Messenger allowed company communication to be better organized with groups and these group discussions are able to propagate into effective outcomes through the use of Lark Docs.

Lark’s newly released Base project management feature has allowed the team at Osakakuma to better make use of internal resources by creating effective workflows with clear visibility across the organization.

Lark Flowchart was also highlighted as a winning feature with its ability to allow teams to collaborate in a brand new visual style on projects that benefit from such a method such as the developing of websites.

Lark’s intuitive design also allows team members in Singapore and China to better collaborate without needing VPN’s or specialized translation software.
