Business Details
Centered on the cloud-based EC site construction and operation platform series "EBISUMART," revenue is composed of three categories: ①contracted system development (flow-type), ②system operation and maintenance (stock-type), and ③other services. The main customers are mid-to-large scale EC operators, and the business is differentiated by its customizable cloud service. In FY2026 (ending May 2026), sales were ¥2,732 million and segment profit was ¥841 million, making it the core segment accounting for approximately 95% of total company sales.
Recent Overview
Operation and maintenance sales increased, but the profit margin declined due to weak new orders in contracted development.
In FY2026 (ending May 2026), the Cloud Commerce Platform Business achieved increased sales of ¥2,732 million (up 4.4% year on year). While system operation and maintenance sales trended above the previous fiscal year due to growth in existing stores' GMV and page views, contracted system development sales fell short of the prior year as new order acquisition came in below expectations. Segment profit declined slightly to ¥841 million (down 3.1% year on year), and the profit margin fell to 30.8% (from 33.1% in the prior period). Toward FY2027 (ending May 2027), the basic strategy is to transition to "hands-on growth contracts," aiming to expand revenue through sales growth of EBISUMART BtoB and EBISUMART Enterprise.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Accumulation of system operation and maintenance sales (stock-type revenue) through continued growth in existing stores' GMV (gross merchandise value) and page views
- Shift toward a recurring revenue model through promotion of transition to "hands-on growth contracts"
- Capturing BtoB and large-scale customer segments through sales expansion of EBISUMART BtoB and EBISUMART Enterprise
- Enhancing platform value and raising customer unit prices through AI feature upselling
- Improved reliability and stable customer base maintenance through continued acquisition of ISO/IEC27001 and PCI-DSS certification
- Differentiation through the hands-on human support model of EC Concierge, leveraging the track record of No. 1 market share for 8 consecutive years
Risks
- Risk that new order acquisition in contracted system development falls below expectations (occurred in FY2026, ending May 2026)
- Risk of development schedule changes for large-scale projects in contracted system development
- Risk of rising customer acquisition costs and existing customer attrition due to intensifying competition in the EC market
- Risk that difficulty in securing and developing engineering talent constrains order-taking capacity
- Risk of unprofitable projects arising in contracted system development (possibility of recording a provision for loss on order received)
- Impairment risk due to obsolescence or reduced effectiveness of software assets (intangible fixed asset software balance of ¥616 million)
