Alegria

What Alegria does

Alegria (アレグリア合同会社) is a privately held Japanese consulting firm headquartered in Nagoya (Meito-ku), with a secondary Marunouchi office, that provides back-office and management-support services to small and medium-sized treatment clinics and salons — primarily acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, and beauty operators — across central Japan. The company operates as an LLC (合同会社) under founder-representative Kirita Chigako (切田千賀子), with a predecessor entity tracing back to August 2001 and formal incorporation on March 23, 2015. Its headcount sits in the 11–50 range.

The firm's core offering is the One's Brain (ワンズブレイン) service brand, anchored by a customer management and analysis system that ingests CSV exports from Square POSレジ and produces treatment-clinic-specific analytics covering new/repeat patient demographics, acquisition source effectiveness, and repeat-rate / lapse patterns. This SaaS module is bundled with professional services: accounting and tax filing support (including bookkeeping agency plans and tax-accountant referral), IT-tool introduction (POS, cashless payments), and subsidy/grant application support delivered through a curated expert partner network (one's brainパートナーズ) comprising tax accountants, SME consultants, social insurance specialists, branding/web professionals, and menopause counselors.

Alegria monetizes through a mix of monthly subscriptions (approximately 15,000 JPY/month excluding tax), an initial setup fee (~30,000 JPY), implementation consulting from 60,000 JPY, setup/training from 120,000 JPY (scaled by practitioner count), and annual support from 60,000 JPY. Go-to-market is primarily high-touch: a dedicated call center, dedicated advisors (専属アドバイザー) conducting on-site field visits, free diagnostic consultations, educational seminars, and partner referrals. In June 2024 the company expanded into a return-to-work support service exclusively for female acupuncturists (女性鍼灸師さま限定の復職支援サービス), extending its addressable surface beyond operational back-office tooling into workforce re-entry services.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• freee (freee株式会社): Major Japanese cloud accounting and payroll SaaS for SMBs. Both a formal technology partner of Alegria (integrated with One's Brain) and a broader incumbent offering overlapping back-office SaaS to the same SMB segment.
• Money Forward (マネーフォワード): Cloud back-office SaaS (accounting, payroll, expense) for Japanese SMBs and enterprises. Comparable as a broader incumbent in SMB back-office software that competes indirectly with Alegria's accounting and IT-tool modules.
• MEDLEY (メドレー): Healthcare-focused technology platform serving Japanese clinics and patients (online medical care, job placement, medical content). Comparable as a broader healthcare IT incumbent that targets Japanese clinics with software and operational support, though at much larger scale and broader scope.

Direct peers

• CLIUS (クリウス): Clinic management SaaS by Medical Leaders, primarily serving dental clinics with electronic medical records, accounting, and customer analytics. Highly comparable vertical-SaaS-plus-back-office model for Japanese clinics, though dental-focused rather than treatment-clinic-focused.
• SALONMO (サロンモ): Cloud-based salon management SaaS (CRM, reservations, marketing) by Hibino targeting Japanese beauty salons. Closely comparable to Alegria's vertical SaaS play for salon operators, with stronger consumer-facing reservation features.
• Salon Board (サロンボード): Recruit's free SaaS platform for beauty salon customer management, reservations, and online business support. Directly comparable to Alegria's One's Brain system as a vertical SaaS for Japanese salon owners, though broader in scope (free model, marketplace-anchored).

Others

• Yayoi (弥生株式会社): Long-established Japanese accounting software and services provider for SMBs, including clinics and salons. Comparable as an adjacent back-office ecosystem incumbent with deep distribution into the same small-business customer segment Alegria serves.
• Hot Pepper Beauty (ホットペッパービューティー): Recruit-operated beauty salon marketplace and reservation platform. Not a direct SaaS competitor but the dominant marketing and customer-acquisition channel for Japanese salons, making it an ecosystem participant whose dynamics affect every salon SaaS provider.
