Social PLUS Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Tsukada) has been certified as the top-tier "Premier" partner in the Communication category of the "Technology Partner" division for the fiscal year 2026 in the "LINE Yahoo Partner Program." This program, provided by LINE Yahoo Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeshi Idezawa), certifies partners specializing in various areas, including the introduction and support of marketing solutions.
■ About the "LINE Yahoo Partner Program"
The "LINE Yahoo Partner Program" is a program* that certifies advertising agencies and service developers across various categories: "Sales Partner," "Technology Partner," "Network Partner," "Adtech Partner," and "Industry Solution Partner." It was introduced with the aim of more actively promoting the resolution of marketing and CX challenges utilizing LINE and Yahoo! JAPAN.
*Certifications are granted in "Sales Partner (Certified Partner, Store Promotion Partner, Ads Operation Badge, Ads Policy Badge)," "Technology Partner (Communication Category, Sales Promotion Category, LINE Mini App Category)," "Network Partner (Display Ad Network Partner, Search Ad Network Partner)," "Adtech Partner (Performance Measurement Certified Partner)," and "Industry Solution Partner (Education Partner)."
■ About "Technology Partner"
The "Technology Partner" certification, which Social PLUS Inc. has now received, is for partners who provide technical support for the introduction of marketing solutions and API-related services, primarily focusing on "LINE Official Account," "LINE de Oubo (LINE for Applications)," and "LINE Mini App."
In the "Communication Category," where Social PLUS Inc. was certified, partners are evaluated based on criteria such as their ability to share tool specifications in collaboration with LINE Yahoo upon request, their skills and resources to respond to LINE Yahoo's specification changes, and their capability to maintain required technical specifications. Particularly excellent partners are recognized and certified as "Premier" or "Advanced."
■ Future Outlook
Social PLUS Inc. has been certified as the top-tier "Premier" in the Communication category of the "Technology Partner" division for four consecutive terms.
We have consistently provided functions that enable CRM measures linked to customer data, centered on LINE Login and ID linkage. We believe that our knowledge and achievements in appropriately understanding each customer through ID linkage and connecting it to better communication design have led to this evaluation.
Furthermore, our service "CRM PLUS on LINE," a LINE integration app for Shopify, celebrated its 5th anniversary in December 2025, and the cumulative number of LINE ID-linked users has exceeded 8.5 million. The knowledge of CRM measures in the e-commerce domain cultivated through these achievements is also one of our strengths.
On the other hand, simply setting up distribution and linkage mechanisms for corporate LINE utilization does not always lead to results. Even if functions are realized, we recognize that without accompanying measure design based on customer understanding and operational improvements, the originally obtainable results may not be fully realized.
Against this background, Social PLUS revamped its service concept in April 2026, aiming to evolve from a feature-providing SaaS to a service that supports CRM measures leading to results, starting from LINE.
Moving forward, in addition to our expertise in ID linkage and customer data utilization, we will leverage the knowledge and achievements accumulated through the provision and operational support of our various services to strengthen our support for LINE-based CRM measures, not just to make them "usable," but to elevate them to a "state where results are achieved."
