For handovers when staff rotate or leave
When someone rotates home or leaves, the relationships stay
A handover is usually a spreadsheet of names in the last week. With a shared team record, the successor gets the people, who on the team already knows each of them, and every open follow-up with an owner.
Free while in early access. Each person chooses which work contacts the team sees; personal contacts and notes stay private.

The problem
The handover happens in the last week, as a list of names
An expat MD goes home at the end of a posting, or a senior manager resigns. Their cards are in a binder, their contacts are in their phone, and the successor gets a spreadsheet and a few introductory lunches.
The list leaves out what matters: who else on the team knows each person, how well, what was promised, and which contacts have since changed jobs.
How Meishio helps
Three steps
Share as you go, not at the exit
Each person scans their cards or connects Google Contacts and shares their work contacts with the team workspace. Personal contacts stay theirs.
See who else knows them
For each client, see which colleagues know them and how well. Move each open follow-up to a new owner, with a date.
Keep the record when they go
When someone leaves the workspace, the records they shared and who knew whom stay with the team. An admin removes their access in one step.
What stays private
- Notes, mobile and personal numbers and where you met never leave a person's own account.
- The team activity shows who added, changed or shared what, and when.
- Admins can export the team list as a CSV at any time.
Questions
What does the successor see?
What the team shares: each person's name, title, company, the work email and office numbers if included, who on the team knows them, and the open follow-ups. Not the predecessor's private notes or personal numbers.
Can someone who has left still see the team's contacts?
No, once an admin removes their access. Their own personal contacts stay in their own account.
Is this only for Japanese companies?
No. It works for any team where people move on: rotations, promotions and resignations. Japanese companies in India are where Meishio started, which is why it reads English, Japanese and bilingual cards. Meishio for Japanese companies in India →
Is the app available in Japanese?
Yes. The app works in English and Japanese, with more screens in Japanese each release. The team screens are in English for now.
