The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The purpose is to expand services into labor management after recruitment in response to the structural labor shortage in the food-service industry and to enhance the group's ability to make proposals to customers. It will also strengthen the group's development capabilities in the DX area and its medium- to long-term business foundation by bringing in TECH CREW株式会社's product development and engineering capabilities. TECH CREW株式会社 reported an operating loss in its most recent fiscal year, but explains that the loss is narrowing in the current fiscal year.
