BtoB Platform

Digital Infrastructure to Support Japan's Food and Beverage Industry

Japan's rich food culture is based on the supply of a diverse range of ingredients that are carefully prepared and served to customers. The route from farm to table is complex and involves many specialized wholesalers and restaurants. Our BtoB Platform has been developed to simplify this process. Launched in 2003, our cloud-based service connects more than 50,000 companies across Japan’s food supply chain, including wholesalers and restaurants. The platform digitizes key operations such as placing and receiving orders and billing so that companies can unify the management of all of their transactions, resulting in significant efficiency gains in day-to-day business operations.

Digital Infrastructure That Leads e-Invoicing in Japan

Our electronic invoicing system “BtoB Platform Invoicing” (e-Invoice) is a solution for the inefficiencies of invoice management. We launched the service in 2015, and have seen a rapid acceleration in use due to the introduction of Japan's new tax invoicing system in 2023. Our platform is fully compliant with the new system’s strict requirements and assists companies in making a smooth transition. Currently, more than 1.22 million companies throughout Japan are using our service, which allows the process of sending, receiving, storing, and approving invoices to be completed digitally. This dramatically improves the operational efficiency of accounting departments, reducing costs, improving transparency of accounting procedures, and strengthening governance. We are a strong digital partner that helps Japanese companies achieve sustainable growth.

We are continually evolving our BtoB Platform to meet the unique needs of the Japanese market as we aim to improve user convenience and facilitate our clients' business growth.

More than 1.22 million companies use our services, and we are particularly focused on SMEs in the construction and manufacturing industries as a growth area, as they are highly dependent on paper.
