What the National Productivity Awards recognise
The National Productivity Awards are a government commendation now in their 43rd year. They are hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organised by the Korea Productivity Center. The awards select companies with a clear record of contributing to national industrial development through systematic corporate management and innovation. This year's ceremony took place on 16 October at the COEX Auditorium in Samseong-dong, Seoul. Whomi Global Inc. received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy commendation in the excellent service category. The company was recognised for shortening complex civil document procedures and improving work efficiency and productivity.
One flow for a procedure with many steps
A document submitted abroad normally passes through issuance, translation, notarisation, consular confirmation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassy legalisation and overseas delivery in sequence. Each step involves a different authority, so handling it in person means repeated visits and considerable time. Whomi Global Inc. built the first domestic platform that lets users apply for and complete the whole sequence at once. Besides domestic processing, it supports document flows from Korea to abroad, from one foreign country to another, and from abroad into Korea. The evaluation reflected the fact that the service reduces travel-related costs such as flights and accommodation, along with the opportunity cost of handling documents in person. Apostille Korea, the company's main brand, started in 2015.
