About "ジョブカン"
What is Jobcan?
Jobcan is a cloud back-office ERP provided by DONUTS Co., Ltd. It started with attendance management in 2010 and has expanded into a configuration of 9 interconnected services: attendance, payroll, HR/labor, workflow, expense reimbursement, applicant tracking (recruiting), accounting, quotes/invoices, and BPO. Because employee data and requests are handled in common across the series, its strength is that you can adopt it gradually, starting from whichever tasks you need. Over 300,000 companies use the series cumulatively, and in 2025 it marked its 15th anniversary.
Add on little by little, starting from what you need
Jobcan's strength is that you can assemble HR, labor, and accounting-related functions gradually within a single series. Start with attendance management, then add payroll, HR/labor, expense reimbursement, and so on as needed. Because each service handles employee data and requests in common, the more you adopt, the greater the integration benefit.
01HR & Payroll
- Attendance — Clock-in, shifts, leave, work hours
- Payroll — Salary/bonus, year-end tax adjustment, web pay slips
- HR-Labor — Onboarding, social insurance, e-contracts
02Requests & Accounting
- Workflow — Approvals for internal proposals and various requests
- Expenses — Expense requests and reimbursement (AI-OCR supported)
- Accounting / Quotes-Invoices — Accounting and closing; quotes, invoices, receipts
03Recruiting & Outsourcing
- Applicant tracking (ATS) — Manage applicants and screening
- BPO — Outsourcing of back-office work
Jobcan Attendance features
Attendance, the core of the series, lets you combine the four functions — attendance, shifts, leave/requests, and work hours — only as much as you need.
01Clock in
- Various clock-in — PC, smartphone, IC card, finger-vein, facial recognition
- Chat-linked clock-in — Clock in from LINE, Slack, Chatwork
02Manage
- Shift & leave management — Shift creation, automatic granting and balance management of paid leave
- Work-hour management & alerts — Per-project work hours; notifications for overtime, missed punches, and the Article 36 agreement
- Payroll integration — Integrate with your own or third-party payroll software
AI-related features have been added in recent years. Expense AI-OCR (automatically reads the date, amount, and vendor from receipts / optional 100 yen per month, excl. tax) and the AI-OCR and AI journal-entry creation in Voucher Management reduce the effort of data entry and bookkeeping. AI is not the product's main purpose — these are simply features for back-office efficiency.

How Jobcan differs from other attendance/back-office tools
Jobcan stands out for letting you assemble the back-office tasks you need in a single series, using attendance as the entry point. Its coverage differs from attendance-only tools and from labor-focused services.
| Aspect | Jobcan | KING OF TIME | SmartHR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Attendance + payroll, labor, expenses, accounting, recruiting | Attendance (+ HR-payroll) | Labor procedures & HR database |
| Adoption | Add the services you need | Expand around attendance at the same price | Labor & talent management |
| Pricing | Usage-based per service | 300 yen/person single price | Plan-based |
If you want to specialize in attendance, KING OF TIME; for labor procedures and an HR database, SmartHR; for accounting, freee are comparison points. For a company that wants to tidy up its entire back office by adding tasks one at a time, Jobcan is a strong choice.
