    on the challenge of industrial transformation in order to realize our vision Since our founding in 2009, we have been committed to our vision of "BETTER SYSTEMS, BETTER WORLD", bringing the Internet to traditional industries that have not yet been digitized, as well as growing into a portfolio company with businesses in multiple domains, such as RAKSUL for printing and customer attraction support, HACOBELL for logistics, Novasell for advertising, and JOSYS for corporate IT. In the future, in addition to launching businesses in-house, we are looking to expand our business through continuous M&A. 10 What is RAKSUL GROUP?

  8. © RAKSUL, inc. All rights reserved. In the short term,

    we will achieve growth by leveraging our existing customer/business base in the following two ways 13 1. Expansion of territory through new       businesses and acquisitions We will expand our business areas by launching new businesses in-house and through the use of M&A. First, we will promote expansion mainly in areas with high synergy with existing businesses (general affairs and procurement areas/sales promotion and advertising areas), where cross-selling to customers and utilization of the common settlement platform, which is currently being developed, are expected, to strengthen existing businesses. 2. Customer Segment Expansion Up to now, our customer base has mainly consisted of small and medium-sized companies and personal business owners. Starting with "RAKSUL Enterprise," which we are currently developing, we will further focus on services for large companies in the future to promote growth through expansion of our target customers.

  9. © RAKSUL, inc. All rights reserved. We will work on

    more industrial transformation beyond the surrounding areas of our existing businesses, such as the printing and advertising industries In the medium term, we will increase the number of target areas for industrial transformation, with a focus on "traditional industries" and "BtoB transactions. In the process, we will invest in technology infrastructure and integrate our customer base and payment infrastructure to provide a smooth purchasing experience for our customers. In addition, we will achieve industry transformation and empowerment by addressing an industry that is highly complex and challenging to digitalize. 14 What is RAKSUL GROUP?

    a system that facilitates business transactions by focusing on the large market of "indirect materials and services" In the long term, we will focus on the large market of indirect materials and services, which is estimated to be worth approximately 140 trillion yen, and provide not only the order and supply platform that we currently offer, but also a system that facilitates business transactions. We aim to transform inefficiencies in business transactions and create a world where people can buy what they want and manage their transactions in a one-stop, convenient manner as a "hub for transactions necessary for business".

    Support Platform RAKSUL has established a "Printing and Customer Attraction Support Platform" and is developing services in online printing and related areas while working to transform the structure of the industry. For many years, the printing industry had a multiple subcontractor structure in which the two major printing companies held almost half of the market, and 60-70% of the projects were subcontracted to more than 30,000 small and medium-sized printing companies. This structure resulted in low production efficiency due to unstable utilization rates, making it difficult to invest in technology and equipment. In response, RAKSUL has established a system that uses the Internet to optimally match users who wish to print with affiliated printing companies nationwide. This has created a mutually beneficial relationship whereby customers enjoy high-quality services and printing companies receive more projects and stable earnings. In addition, technology has made it possible to improve the efficiency of printing methods and speed checks of submitted data, and we are expanding our services to include large companies, novelties, postings, direct mail (DM), and packaging materials. We will continue to create synergies through M&A and business alliances to create a customized EC platform that makes working people's lives easier. 19 Raksul Business https://recruit.raksul.com/story/3min-raksul/ https://recruit.raksul.com/story/about-riu-all/ 3 minutes to learn about RAKSUL Behind-the-scenes of the business explained

We have already expanded beyond the commercial and office printing market into the office/industrial materials and customer attraction support areas, and we will continue to strengthen and expand these areas in the future. We aim to be the No. 1 business in each of these markets, each of which is said to be worth several hundred billion yen, and to create new value and improve convenience for our customers. In developing new markets, we will take on the challenge of launching businesses in-house and through M&A. In existing mature markets, we will achieve sustainable growth through business integration and the provision of new services.

    Create Results, not Advertisements We provide one-stop services for planning, production, airing, and analysis of TV commercials and other advertising, as well as optimizing and structuring all marketing operations with the power of people and data. Since our launch as an operational TV commercial service business, we have pioneered and developed the operational TV commercial market. While TV commercials have an overwhelming reach and are useful for improving brand image, they are expensive and cannot be measured or tracked in real time like web advertising, making it difficult for companies to use them effectively as a marketing tool. Novasell has confronted this issue by making it possible to measure the advertising effectiveness of TV commercials using "nominated searches", an indicator that had been considered difficult in the industry. We have named this "Operational TV Commercials", and have been working to optimize corporate marketing investments while developing related tools and services. Utilizing the foundation we have developed through our operational TV commercial service business, we currently provide comprehensive measures, effectiveness analysis, and improvement proposals that include not only TV commercials but also web marketing from a third-party perspective, helping companies to make accurate decisions on how to use their advertising expenditures and the prices of their proposals. In this way, we facilitate the marketing DX of advertiser companies and help them improve their productivity. We will continue to realize the "Marketing Democratization", aiming for a world in which everyone can understand the correct effectiveness and use marketing to its fullest. https://recruit.raksul.com/story/3min-novasell/ 3 minutes to learn about Novasell Launched “Novasell Professional”, an advertising consulting service from a third-party perspective.

In addition, we have developed our own SaaS products such as "Novasell Analytics," "Nobishiro", and "Novasell Trend". By effectively combining and utilizing these products in both businesses, and by providing support and accompaniment, we maximize the results of corporate marketing activities.

Going forward, Novasell will focus on leveraging this foundation to play the role of a "third agency" in supporting corporate marketing. In order to eliminate the "black box" status of marketing, we will develop an environment in which anyone can easily measure the effectiveness of their marketing efforts by utilizing our customer data collection and analysis technologies and consulting services. In addition, to meet the needs of advertisers, Novasell will provide medium- to long-term support from a third-party perspective as the "third agency" and focus on structuring marketing operations to create an environment in which companies can strengthen their marketing on their own. Through these efforts, Novasell will continue to promote the "Marketing Democratization" and aim for a world where services around the world grow properly.

    Commercial Materials In our packaging material service, we are promoting sustainability and SDGs initiatives through environmentally friendly packaging and cushioning materials. The company is a one-stop shop for planning, development, and production of cardboard made of FSC®-certified paper, thereby optimizing transaction costs and making a price contribution to customers. The company also reuses cutting scraps and used paper from printing companies to develop environmentally friendly products such as Arrow Air Cushion, a cushioning material that contains no harmful chemical substances. 31 Efficient Use of Paper Resources In our printing services, we are committed to efficient use of paper resources. In normal printing, multiple copies of the same document are printed and cut on paper that is large enough to print eight A4 sheets, but sometimes more is printed than necessary, especially during the trial printing process. We reduce the use of paper by creating printing data for projects ordered from all over the country on our EC site in a combination that minimizes waste. Specific initiatives in RAKSUL Response to TCFD Recommendations  In April 2021, we announced our support for the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure) and joined the TCFD Consortium, which consists of companies and financial institutions that support the TCFD's recommendations. We are striving to enhance disclosure of climate change-related information based on the TCFD recommendations. Responding to Climate Change We are committed to contributing to the realization of a sustainable society by addressing climate change as one of our management issues. Through the following initiatives, we aim to both reduce our environmental impact and increase our corporate value. ・We will measure and disclose the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from our activities and services. ・We will support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in our activities and improve energy efficiency throughout the value chain.

    Organizations We will realize our vision of "BETTER SYSTEMS, BETTER WORLD" through a deep understanding of industries and by providing scalable (flexible and expandable) systems using technology. In the industries we work with, we will find areas for change in "operations that traditionally required human intervention," and by thoroughly automating them, we will promote the efficiency of the industry as a whole and modernize it. 40 Engineering Culture The world of "thorough automation and efficiency" is a complex challenge for RAKSUL. The complexity of the process is what allows us to build a unique position with high barriers to entry. We understand that challenges do not always lead to success and that failure is always a possibility, yet we will strive to work together with our colleagues to open up new possibilities beyond the conventional framework. In order to improve the efficiency of "operations designed on the premise of human intervention", it is necessary to skillfully combine customer issues with solutions. To this end, we not only "identify issues" by gaining a deep understanding of current operations and flow sequences, but also determine "how to realize" them in terms of feasibility and put them into action, making full use of our knowledge of the latest technologies. The concept of "scalability" is extremely important in improving the efficiency of an entire industry. If the efficiency and structure are not improved to the extent that they can be expanded horizontally, the industry will revert back to the conventional "human intervention" state. We will build a highly scalable structure that thoroughly eliminates the need for human intervention, and by making it possible to integrate various RAKSUL-related services and their infrastructures, we will create a highly versatile structure that can be used worldwide. Make it Scalable Think Architecturally Go Beyond Engineering Organization

    We continue to transform traditional industry practices and challenge developments that were considered difficult to achieve https://raksul.com/preflight/introduction/ Speed Data Check Reduce data verification, correction, and conversion from half a day to several minutes. This service checks printing data on the spot and optimizes it for printing at high speed. In the past, data was checked, corrected, and converted by an operator, which could take half a day to a day, causing delivery delays. With Speed Data Check, the time required to finalize data is now only a few minutes, a significant time saving. This has also led to the elimination of delivery delays. 43 Engineering Organization Optimal Order Optimal processing of combinations of "8 to the power of 400" in only 10 minutes. Optimal Ordering is a system that automatically optimizes "printing assortment x sorting", which is impossible with human labor. In order to provide high-quality printed materials at an overwhelmingly low price and to use paper efficiently and without waste, RAKSUL uses a method called "ganging", in which multiple printed materials with different patterns and sizes are printed together as one. In the past, the entire process of ganging and sorting to the printing company was done manually by the staff in charge. However, since there are as many as 8 to the 400th power of matching and sorting, it was practically impossible to instantly find the most efficient method. To solve this problem, RAKSUL developed a function for optimal ordering and created a system that can complete the task of searching for the best combination from a huge number of combinations in just 10 minutes. This has created a virtuous cycle of increased efficiency as capacity has expanded, while at the same time realizing cost reductions. Novasell Trend Immediate visualization of the "effect" of other companies' commercials as well as the effect of your own commercials. Novasell Trend is a service that visualizes the search effectiveness of TV commercials for approximately 5,000 brands. In the past, measuring the effectiveness of a company's marketing activities required the analysis of a vast amount of data, which was time-consuming, and even after the data was collected, the effectiveness of the data was not known, so it could not be used to implement measures. However, with Novasell Trend, it is now possible to visualize the effects of other companies' CMs as well as their own, enabling marketers to formulate effective marketing strategies. In addition, the freemium approach has led many companies to maximize the effectiveness of their TV commercials. https://novasell.com/trend-freemium https://recruit.raksul.com/story/about-riu-6/
