BtoB EC 'Bcart' Rapidly Expands into Digital Infrastructure: Over 2,500 Implementations, 1.35 Million+ Ordering Companies

Dai Inc. (located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto) announced that its B2B EC platform 'Bcart', which promotes DX in order placement, invoicing, and sales, has exceeded 2,500 implemented companies as of May 2026, and the cumulative number of companies placing orders (buyer companies) through EC sites built with 'Bcart' has surpassed 1.35 million.

**Over 2,500 implementations, 1.35 million+ ordering companies: Becoming an order infrastructure**

As of May 2026, 'Bcart' has exceeded 2,500 implementations and is used by over 1.35 million cumulative corporations and businesses for their transactions. Just as counter-based bank transfers shifted to internet banking, an irreversible shift from analog methods like phone and fax to digital is occurring in current inter-company transactions, and 'Bcart' continues to expand as its recipient.

**Approaching the scale of '1 in 3 Japanese companies'**

The fact that over 1.35 million cumulative buyer companies place orders through EC sites built with 'Bcart' symbolizes its widespread adoption in domestic inter-company transactions. According to the latest data, the number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan is approximately 3.36 million (※1). By simple calculation, more than one in three domestic companies conduct their ordering operations through Bcart-based EC sites.

Furthermore, the domestic B2B EC market size is approximately 514.4 trillion yen, and the EC penetration rate has risen to 43.1% (※2). Amidst this market growth, 'Bcart' is not merely providing a system but is increasingly serving as a digital infrastructure supporting the transaction base of the Japanese economy.

**Contributing to resolving labor shortages and sales expansion through order/receipt DX**

**Efficient order/receipt operations to overcome deepening labor shortages and rising costs**

Against the backdrop of persistent labor shortages, rising prices, and wage increases, improving productivity with limited human resources is an urgent challenge for companies. 'Bcart' is chosen as a means of order DX that digitizes analog order operations such as fax and phone, significantly reducing hundreds of hours of work per month.

At the same time, the convenience of placing orders 24 hours a day, regardless of location, increases the satisfaction of buyer companies (over 1.35 million cumulative companies) and directly leads to an increase in order frequency and unit price. Due to the nature of EC, new customers can also be acquired nationwide via the web, boosting sales for implementing companies.

Furthermore, by creating a sense of purpose in workplaces freed from analog tasks, it leads to the retention of existing talent and acceleration of new hires, driving the sustainable growth of companies.

**Evolution as a platform solving all B2B transaction challenges**

'Bcart' continues to evolve as a platform that solves challenges across the entire trade flow, not just order and receipt, but also inventory management, logistics, and accounting.
