For large corporations
consulting

Japan's largest platform for small and medium-sized enterprises,
Solutions based on transformation case studies from the Funai Research Institute Group
Become the engine of your company's growth.

When large corporations seek their next growth opportunity, two unavoidable challenges are "developing the huge SMB (small and medium-sized enterprise) market in Japan" and "group management that supports discontinuous growth."

The Funai Research Institute Group has leveraged its strong customer base across Japan and its transformation know-how, honed through using itself as a testing ground to achieve high profitability and growth, to offer a service called "Showroom Management."

We support transformations that go beyond mere reports, emphasizing on-site implementation and tangible results.

We provide end-to-end support focused on results, from strategy formulation to "completion" through BPO.

icon

Japan's largest SMB platform

Subsidiaries tend to be understaffed.
Specialized support for specific departments

We provide support focused on subsidiaries and specific departments within large corporations, where investment and countermeasures tend to lag behind. We support areas requiring meticulous attention, such as system implementation and DX/AX promotion at overseas subsidiaries (e.g., India) of major Japanese companies, and support for the advancement of contact centers at major financial institutions.

Three core solution lines for large corporations

We offer major corporations the expertise and proven results that the Funai Research Institute Group itself has demonstrated through practical application.

We will develop strategies and systems to conquer the SMB market, which accounts for 99.7% of all companies in Japan.

Beyond just planning and development, we translate industry-specific know-how into practical implementation at the operational level, providing strong support and guidance to ensure your business is on track.
