KPP GROUP HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. implemented the AI intranet LumApps and built a group portal to centralize information sharing across language and location barriers arising from its overseas expansion. It uses automatic translation supporting more than 100 languages, along with two-way communication features.
KPP GROUP HOLDINGS CO.,LTD., a specialist trading company in the paper and pulp sector, launched a project to build a new group portal to address internal communication challenges as it marked its 100th anniversary. Because the group’s locations and systems differed, with each company operating its own intranet, a common digital workplace was needed.
After comparing multiple tools, LumApps was selected. Its support for single sign-on, compatibility with Microsoft 365 and flexibility for future M&A expansion were cited as factors in the decision. Local communications departments particularly valued its automatic translation function and two-way features, such as likes and comments on articles.
The group portal “mille-feuille,” launched in July 2024, was named after the French words mille and feuille, following the adoption of a proposal by a young employee. The site supports more than 100 languages, creating an environment in which employees in each country can receive information in their native languages. Regular content updates are being used to encourage adoption of the portal.
KPP GROUP is promoting mutual understanding with the portal at the core, under a policy of respecting the traditions and cultures of acquired companies. Going forward, it plans to further develop the portal’s role in creating business synergies.
