The number of registered IDs for “AS platform,” an information platform for insurance solicitors operated by IRRC Corporation (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Ryuji Katsumoto; Securities Code: 7325; hereinafter “the Company”), surpassed 10,000 as of March 2026 (across 204 registered agencies). The number of registered IDs has doubled in the two months since January 2026.
[Background of Surpassing 10,000 Users: “Practicality” Aligned with Field Needs Becomes a Hot Topic]
User growth is accelerating, having doubled since the previous announcement of 5,000 IDs in January 2026. Behind this growth is a “practicality” directly linked to the solicitation process, rather than mere information aggregation. It has been highly evaluated as a tool that contributes to operational efficiency and improved proposal capabilities in the field, leading to rapid expansion and adoption within agencies.
[Main Factors for User Expansion: Specific Use Cases Valued in the Field]
The following use cases, shared by actual users, are driving adoption and retention at many agencies.
1. A Powerful Weapon for In-Person and Online Consultations
Regarding the feature that allows users to check brochures from various companies, the use of monitor projection to view brochures has become standard, with feedback such as “no need to worry about running out of stock” and “prevents the time lag of searching for brochures during client meetings.” Additionally, the ability to instantly check and explain detailed provisions, such as “payment conditions,” for insurance policies the client is currently enrolled in is highly valued.
2. Supporting “Insurance + Alpha” Consulting
It is increasingly being used as a source of information to learn about the latest topics outside of insurance, such as NISA, taxes, and savings, during spare time. This enables the provision of concise and easy-to-understand information on a wide range of client interests, including asset formation.
3. Dramatic Improvement in Administrative Efficiency
Because agents can check the provisions of multiple companies on the spot in response to questions from clients during insurance proposals, the time previously spent on “phone inquiries” to insurance companies or “logging into various company websites” has been significantly reduced, allowing agents to focus on their core business: consulting.
[Future Evolution Based on User Feedback]
The Company will continue to promptly reflect specific improvement requests received from users in service updates.
