We have officially released EC Kyodai, a multi-functional web service that fulfills e-commerce operators' desires of "this is what I want to do" and "it would be great if this were possible."

Background and Challenges

In recent years, the EC market has been expanding, but with intensifying competition, simply listing products is no longer enough for differentiation. Furthermore, operators face the burden of manually managing multiple tasks such as inventory updates, promotional tag management, purchase funnel optimization, and international support. For small to medium-sized EC operators in particular, system development and securing specialized personnel often present significant hurdles.

Therefore, to respond to the voices of operators who want to "operate effectively without hassle," we developed EC Kyodai as a support tool that consolidates "things we wished were possible" into an easy-to-use design.
