How Yazaki Unified Global Communication with InEvent

À propos

Yazaki is one of the world’s leading global automotive suppliers, with over 50,000 employees distributed across more than 40 countries.

To keep their vast workforce aligned and informed, Yazaki runs internal events that deliver important business and technology updates directly from top leadership. But with so many employees spread out across so many regions, hosting a single, seamless event was no easy task.

Défis

For years, Yazaki relied on Microsoft Teams to deliver internal communications. It worked for a while. But as events grew in size and importance, cracks began to show.

Here’s what made it difficult:

• Microsoft Teams couldn’t support large-scale sessions with thousands of concurrent attendees.


• There was no way to track attendance or verify who actually received or opened the email invite.


• Employees without a company device often couldn’t access the content at all.


• The video quality suffered, especially for live events where clarity and consistency matter.

For a company committed to excellence, these constant gaps & inconsistencies were holding back critical communication across its global teams.

Solutions

Then Yazaki switched to InEvent in 2023, and everything changed.

They needed a partner who could scale communication across countries, devices, and languages while still being easy to manage for a lean internal team.

With InEvent, they could:

• Host hybrid events using both pre-recorded videos and real-time live sessions.


• Send targeted emails and know exactly who received, opened, and clicked.


• Coordinate access for both desk-based employees and those without a company device by working with local IT teams to distribute the event link offline.


• Track attendee behavior directly from the backend, something Teams never allowed.

Résultat

Since adopting InEvent, Yazaki has:

• Successfully hosted 7–8 large-scale events since early 2023.


• Reached tens of thousands of employees worldwide, with smooth delivery and no technical breakdowns.


• Improved internal coordination across global locations, even where employees didn’t have personal devices.


• Built more engaging, interactive formats with stronger participation and leadership visibility.

It was a complete turnaround from their previous limitations with Teams.

Now their events are easier to manage, promote a sense of community, and are more meaningful for both organizers and attendees.

Instead of one-way communication, Yazaki has eliminated the guesswork. They now have control over their data to help create true moments of engagement .

Prochaine ligne d'action

Looking ahead, Yazaki is planning to use InEvent not only for internal communications, but also for:

• Training programs to onboard and educate teams worldwide.


• Customer-facing events to extend their brand and technology updates externally.

Yazaki didn’t settle for “good enough.” They found a platform that could meet them at their scale and grow with them into the future.

If you’re leading a growing & global team, or just tired of tech that can’t keep up, this is your sign. There’s a better way to run events. Yazaki found theirs. You can find yours too.
