Net Protections, Inc. (headquartered in: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; "Net Protections") has partnered with Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (headquartered in: Osaka/Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Hiroyuki Matsumoto; "DIS") to offer its B2B BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) service, "NP Kakebarai," to sales partners utilizing DIS’s subscription management portal, "iKAZUCHI."
Background and Initiative Overview
Cloud services have become an essential infrastructure supporting corporate operations. According to the "2025 Communications Usage Trend Survey" by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, over 80% of businesses now utilize cloud services. Today's IT resellers and distributors are expected to go beyond merely supplying hardware and software—they must actively support client growth by driving cloud utilization and solving operational challenges.。
However, selling SaaS and subscription-based services often introduces operational friction. Resellers frequently face complex recurring and usage-based billing, time-consuming credit checks for new business partners, payment verification delays, and the risk of unpaid receivables. These operational burdens and financial risks can limit resellers when proposing and selling new services.
To address these challenges, DIS and Net Protections are joining forces to promote the adoption of "NP Kakebarai" among "iKAZUCHI" sales partners. By leveraging Net Protections' proprietary credit screening technology, "iKAZUCHI" partners can easily expand sales opportunities to clients that were previously difficult to sell to on credit terms. In addition, by eliminating invoicing and collection workloads and guaranteeing payment receivables, this initiative empowers partners to expand their cloud and subscription service offerings with confidence.
Future Outlook
Building on this alliance, Net Protections and DIS plan to explore further opportunities for collaborative growth. Net Protections remains committed to supporting the sustainable growth of resellers and their client enterprises by solving B2B credit, invoicing, and collection challenges.
