Business
Giglink Works Inc. is a pure holding company with the vision of becoming "Japan's No. 1 gig economy platformer." Under its umbrella are four business segments: the On-Demand Economy business, in which IT gig workers play an active role (revenue of ¥10,328 million); the System Solutions business, offering system development and SES (system engineering service) staffing by IT engineers (revenue of ¥4,884 million); the Sharing Economy business, operating shared offices at 85 locations in the Tokyo metropolitan area and over 1,000 locations nationwide (revenue of ¥6,191 million); and the Web3 Services business, applying blockchain technology (revenue of ¥160 million). In April 2025, the company sold its unprofitable Digital Marketing business (Nippon Chokuhan), concentrating management resources on the four highly profitable businesses. A total of 3,690 unique workers nationwide, mainly freelancers and sole proprietors, are active on the platform, providing diverse working styles for both companies and individuals.
Business Model
The main revenue sources consist of four businesses. The On-Demand Economy business records revenue through outsourced operations such as field engineers and contact centers. The System Solutions business achieves a high profit margin (16.2%) through SES, contracted development, and sales of its proprietary CRM system "Decolle CC.CRM3". The Sharing Economy business diversifies revenue through occupancy revenue from monthly membership-based shared offices (25,300 members) and property management services. The Web3 business is in an upfront investment stage. Working capital is basically funded through own capital, with bank borrowing utilized as needed.
Company Strengths
The sharing economy business operated by nex Co., Ltd. has one of the largest networks in Japan, comprising 85 directly operated locations centered on the Tokyo metropolitan area, plus more than 1,000 locations including partner sites. Membership has reached 25,300 members, and in FY2025 (ending October 2025) the business posted record-high net sales of ¥6,191 million and segment profit of ¥717 million (up 38.7% year on year).
The system solutions business, handled by Gig Works Cross IT, achieved record-high results in FY2025 (ending October 2025) with net sales of ¥4,884 million (up 3.4% year on year), segment profit of ¥790 million (up 20.1% year on year), and a profit margin of 16.2%, driven by price optimization amid rising engineer labor costs and strengthened partner collaboration.
In March 2007, the company and its subsidiaries simultaneously obtained ISO/IEC 27001 (information security management system) certification across all business operations and locations. Given the nature of the business, which handles confidential and personal information of numerous registered gig workers, business partners, and subcontractors, the group has established a unified security management framework across the entire organization.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue peaked at ¥26,432 million in FY2023 and contracted to ¥22,262 million in FY2025, but FY2026 full-year guidance of ¥23,000 million (up 3.3% year on year) suggests the business has bottomed out and entered a recovery phase. First-half revenue was ¥11,451 million (up 3.5% year on year). Operating profit turned positive, moving from an operating loss of ¥404 million in FY2024 to a profit of ¥15 million in FY2025, with continued improvement to ¥290 million in the first half of FY2026. However, valuation losses on crypto assets (¥209 million in the first half) are significantly weighing on ordinary profit and net profit, and net profit is expected to decline sharply from ¥272 million in FY2025 to a full-year forecast of ¥50 million. As an external factor, volatility in crypto asset prices is heightening uncertainty over business performance.
Growth Strategy
Maximizing profits across four businesses and expanding into the entertainment and AI domains through M&A
Expanding direct transactions with major companies and SI subsidiaries in tablet POS support and Windows replacement projects, reducing intermediary costs to enhance profitability. The segment profit margin improved to 7.0% (¥419 million/¥5,957 million) in the interim period.
In addition to expanding the token ecosystem of the SNPIT app, the company is fully rolling out AI talent development training and consulting services. The segment achieved a turnaround to profitability with segment profit of ¥45 million in the interim period, but a valuation loss on crypto assets occurred as a non-operating item, making revenue stabilization a challenge.
Acquired 51.6% of voting rights in December 2025 (acquisition cost of ¥258 million). Creating synergies between spacetimes, which has strengths in event planning and merchandise sales for idol groups such as the Sakamichi Series, and Green Light's staffing business. Goodwill of ¥257 million was recorded (amortized equally over 10 years).
Expanded available workspaces to 1,800 locations, achieving 26,800 members through the renewal of 9 contract plans and enhanced web marketing. Occupancy and utilization rates at existing offices have also improved, but interim segment profit declined 27.3% year-on-year, making profitability improvement a challenge.
In April 2025, all shares of Nihon Chokuhan Co., Ltd. (Digital Marketing business) were transferred and excluded from the scope of consolidation. This led to the discontinuation of the Digital Marketing business segment and enabled the concentration of management resources into the four highly profitable businesses.
