From Operational Efficiency Services to a "Digital Data Infrastructure" Driving Japanese Commerce

── Six Months Under New Leadership: What We Will Change, and What Will Remain Unchanged

I am Shin Kimura, President and CEO of Infomart Corporation.
Since our founding in 1998, we have supported the digitalization and streamlining of B2B transactions. By staying close to our customers' frontline and back-office operations, we have connected buyers and sellers through our digital platforms. Today, our services are deeply embedded in the daily business operations of companies—from ordering and invoicing to contracting and payment. The strong network effects*1 created by connecting companies digitally across industries and regions represent one of our core strengths.
Over the past six months since the launch of our new leadership team in January 2026, I have engaged in continuous dialogue with many of our customers, business partners, and investors.

What We Will Change

As society and industrial structures undergo dynamic shifts, our role as a corporate service provider has reached a pivotal turning point. Moving beyond providing individual operational efficiency services, Infomart is evolving to build the digital data infrastructure that powers Japanese commerce.
With population decline and workforce shortages, the volume of tasks a single company can handle faces natural limits. Streamlining isolated workflows alone is no longer enough to meet our customers' needs.
Therefore, we will transform the transaction networks and data assets we have accumulated over the years into next-generation value.
We will connect data generated across diverse operational settings—from food service outlets and construction job sites to corporate headquarters—on a unified platform. By embedding AI into this core foundation, we will expand our scope to visualize and forecast business conditions and empower daily managerial decision-making. Furthermore, we will actively integrate with external systems and services used by our customers.
By turning our accumulated strengths into value on a new scale, we are redefining our role as a company.

── Leveraging AI

In the food-related business, where we hold a strong presence, we will deliver new value by enabling AI agents to visualize and forecast business conditions for individual locations and overall enterprises—thereby supporting and enhancing decision-making both on the frontline and at the executive level. This value is built on integrating diverse operational data—such as sales, shift, and menu management data—with our B2B ordering data.
Similarly, in invoicing operations, by leveraging AI agents to analyze digital invoice line-item data, we will provide services that deliver value to customers across industries and regions.

What Will Remain Unchanged

We will continue to focus on delivering services that digitalize B2B transactions and commerce. While our company is evolving, what we have built over the past 28 years is more than just systems. We have gained deep knowledge of industry practices and built relationships of trust with industries and customers through our employees, who have consistently worked closely with our clients.
Our services operate on a unified platform shared by both buyers and sellers. It is not something designed to serve the convenience of a single company, but rather built together with everyone across the industry.
That is why our position will never change: staying close to buyers and sellers, to industries and regions, and growing together with them.

What We Strive to Achieve

Under our slogan, "With Industry. With Regions. With Partners," we will continue to expand value creation through co-creation that engages deeply with the business structures of each industry and region. By delivering a value-added digital data infrastructure, we will increase both the quantity and quality of services and features available to our users. In turn, receiving fair service fees that reflect this value will drive our sustainable growth and enhance our corporate value.
Our goal is to minimize operational burdens, increase the value of time spent on the frontline, and elevate the overall standard of business operations. By reducing re-work and repetitive tasks, people can focus on creative ideas and decision-making, while also gaining more quality time with their families and loved ones. Leveraging technology to enrich both work and daily life, driving sustainable corporate growth and revitalizing society—this is what we aim to achieve.
We are taking steady steps forward. By unlocking the next stage of commerce in Japan through data, we will meet and exceed the expectations of all our stakeholders.

President and CEO
Shin Kimura
