「To respond to this market environment, the company generated new sales opportunities through trade shows and shortened the time to contract and improved conversion rates through close coordination between field sales and customer success. For existing users, it encouraged an increase in the number of registered employees per company and pursued cross-selling by proposing other products. It also strengthened its organization so that existing users, both companies and professional service firms, could complete onboarding without difficulty. The company further enhanced its support desk to resolve questions quickly and worked to improve customer satisfaction. As of the end of the consolidated fiscal year (31 March 2025), including users of the free Office Station Labor Lite, the series was used by 43,862 companies, up 7,131 from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, and 3,327 professional service firms, up 314.」
