RYUSUKE KANEKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO, COMMENTS

Since our founding, we have aimed to become a global SaaS company originating from Japan, and have been developing our business with an awareness of the technology and architecture that can be used worldwide, in addition to "detailed and user-friendly UX," which is one of Japan's strengths. We have been developing our business with a focus on technology and architecture that can be used around the world. Now, with the opening of a base in Singapore, we will remake the service as a simpler mobile service through business development in new regions, focusing on the development of business partners and globalization of the service. We will aim for further sophistication as a "sales engagement service" for field sales, the service of choice for Japanese and local companies in the Asia-Pacific region.
