WorkX Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Tomoharu Higashino, hereinafter 'WorkX'), which operates the matching platform 'ProConnect' for high-class freelancers and companies with over 8,000 registered users, is now paying remuneration to over 80% of its contracted freelancers in 9 business days, the fastest in the freelance industry.
## The Mechanism Behind Overwhelming Payment Speed
While many freelance agents take 30 to 45 days to pay remuneration, ProConnect has introduced a system to pay freelancers without waiting for payment from clients, realizing a significant speed-up.
We have achieved this speedy payment by automating and streamlining operations, such as utilizing generative AI in back-office tasks related to contracts and billing, and through AI-driven development of business systems by our in-house engineers.
With this mechanism, we relieve the financial stress of freelancers and provide an environment where they can work with peace of mind.
## Future Prospects
ProConnect aims to improve the productivity of Japanese society by solving the challenge of financial instability faced before independence and realizing a society where anyone can become independent.
To that end, we will not only support the working styles of freelancers but also further strengthen the environment where companies and freelancers can collaborate with peace of mind. Through service improvements, including the acceleration of remuneration payments, we aim to be a platform where freelancers can realize flexible and sustainable working styles.
