Toyota uses Notion to drive more efficient workflows with collaboration that comes standard

For the researchers at Toyota, sharing findings with the public is just as important as conducting the research itself. To do this, the research center promotes their work on social media for the world to engage with. But doing so requires a rigorous approval process to ensure accuracy and maintain the integrity of the Toyota brand. Before switching to Notion, this process was a tedious back-and-forth exchange of messages between various teams that was painfully inefficient.

With Notion, every post gets drafted and sent for approval in an easy-to-follow workflow that ends with a single click of the “approve” button that reduced approval timelines by 3x. Instead of the back and forth messages, the team can quickly check statuses and receive automated notifications of changes and updates.

The group conducting R&D on humanoid robots struggled to efficiently use their meeting minutes and background information because they were stored in different places.

By using Notion, they could centrally manage all this information in a single database, including morning meeting minutes, tasks, and research knowledge. This made daily morning meetings more efficient, as members could consolidate information on the meeting minutes page. Progress management also became easier by categorizing tasks as issues, defects, bugs, and other useful titles. Research knowledge can now be stored in the database with one click using Web Clipper. Consolidating all this information in Notion means group members don't need to look anywhere else.
