Yayoi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, CEO: Takeichiro Muto, hereinafter "Yayoi") is pleased to announce the launch of "Yayoi Keih Next," a standalone cloud expense management software.
Previously, "Yayoi Keih Next" was offered in conjunction with the corporate cloud service "Yayoi Kaikei Next." "Yayoi Keih Next" is a cloud expense management software that achieves high cost performance by comprehensively equipping it with necessary functions for expense management tasks, such as AI-powered input assistance and check functions, and compliance with the Digital Records Act, while offering a pricing structure that starts from 0 yen for initial costs and 700 yen per employee per month.
## Background of Offering
With the establishment of the revised Digital Records Act and the Invoice System, the digitalization of back-office operations, including expense management, has become an essential initiative for many companies. On the other hand, rushing into system implementation and selecting products that do not match a company's scale or operational reality has led to issues such as "overly high-featured and unmanageable systems," "additional costs arising when strengthening approval flows or controls, even if basic functions are inexpensive," and "costs escalating beyond expectations with an increase in the number of employees."
Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, tend to find systems expensive due to minimum user requirements or feature limitations. Mid-sized enterprises also often express dissatisfaction with expense management systems where "the burden increases the longer they are used," as adding functions to match the complexity of their operations leads to increased costs. Against this backdrop, many companies, despite their dissatisfaction, are forced to continue using their current expense management systems due to the effort and risks involved in switching systems.
In response to these challenges, Yayoi designed "Yayoi Keih Next" with an emphasis on ensuring that the necessary functions for streamlining operations are well-equipped, while the associated costs do not escalate excessively. It is offered as a service that can be used continuously, from implementation to operation and future expansion, regardless of a company's growth stage.
