Net Protections Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce our BNPL service, NP Kakebarai, is now integrated with the subscription management software, AXLGLEAR provided by AXLBIT, Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akihiro Hasegawa; “AXLBIT”)
As subscription-based business models, particularly in cloud services continue to expand, businesses face growing operational burdens tied to monthly billing fluctuations, credit screening of new customers, payment tracking, and debt recovery procedures. These tasks require specialized knowledge and resources, presenting a major challenge for many companies, especially those in a growth phase.
AXLBIT has long supported billing and contract process optimization through its platform, AXLGEAR. With the newly established system integration with NP Kakebarai, businesses can now outsource the entire cycle—from credit screening and invoicing to payment management and payment reminder—via an automated, end-to-end solution.
This collaboration not only reduces credit risk and administrative burden, but also opens doors to previously challenging market segments such as small and medium-sized enterprises.Internal resources can now be redirected to strategic initiatives, enabling companies to pursue both operational efficiency and sustainable growth.
This partnership marks the beginning of Net Protections’ broader rollout of NP Kakebarai to major cloud resellers and other businesses using AXLGEAR.
Moving forward, Net Protections remains committed to supporting the growth of businesses by solving the challenges of credit management, invoicing, and collections in B2B transactions.
