Post in Network

What Post in Network does

Post in Network (株式会社ポストインネットワーク) is a privately-held Japanese business services company founded on 1994-09-19 and headquartered in Musashino, Tokyo. It operates an integrated one-stop service platform spanning eight core lines: logistics and fulfillment, donation and fundraising process architecture, custom web system development, alumni network construction, AI business support services, creative production, on-demand BPO, and advertising/marketing. Its primary customer base is Japanese private universities, vocational schools, and school corporations (学校法人), with secondary exposure to corporate, government, and NPO clients.

The company's underlying technology combines proprietary web platforms (Admission Support System with custom search/filter, QR-code-based Open Campus Entry System, Donation Management System with credit card, bank transfer, convenience store, and QR-code payment, receipt issuance, and gift shipment tracking) with the Official-Alumni.com cloud platform licensed through a 2021 partnership with Hackersook Co., Ltd. AI capabilities center on an AI contact center solution (inbound/outbound), chatbot-driven FAQ automation, generative AI for marketing copy and image assets, and RPA, all delivered as implementation and managed services rather than as a proprietary model. The company is JIS Q 15001 certified for personal information protection management.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: professional services (logistics, creative, marketing), managed services (BPO, donation fundraising operations), subscription/recurring revenue (alumni network platform), and one-time system development fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, with separate phone lines for distinct business functions. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, conducted through consultation-based selling to schools, universities, corporations, and government bodies, supported by 11 logistics centers across Kanto (Saitama, Tokyo), Chubu (Aichi), and Kansai (Nara, Osaka) regions. The company has not raised external venture or private equity funding and remains founder/management-owned.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Mail House Co., Ltd. Mail House is a Japanese mailhouse and DM logistics specialist offering warehousing, packing, and bulk mailing services. A direct competitor to Post in Network's logistics/DM core service line, though without the education-sector specialization or bundled fundraising capabilities.
• CROSS Marketing Group: CROSS Marketing provides marketing research, digital marketing, and consumer panel services in Japan, with overlap in direct marketing execution and multi-channel campaign support. Similar mid-sized profile and customer-segment breadth as Post in Network.
• transcosmos: transcosmos is one of Japan's largest BPO and contact center operators, offering outsourced customer support, digital marketing, and operational services. Comparable to Post in Network's BPO and contact center service lines, with a much broader scope and enterprise scale.
• BellSystem24 Holdings: BellSystem24 is a major Japanese contact center and BPO provider operating inbound/outbound customer service for enterprises. Overlaps directly with Post in Network's on-demand BPO and AI contact center offerings, though Post in Network is far more niche and education-focused.

Broad incumbents

• TOPPAN Holdings: TOPPAN is a major Japanese printing and information communications conglomerate offering secure printing, direct mail, IC cards, and BPO services. Provides comparable DM, fulfillment, and printing capabilities as part of a much larger portfolio but does not specialize in the education vertical.
• Dai Nippon Printing (DNP): DNP is one of Japan's largest printing conglomerates with significant direct mail, information communication, and BPO operations. Overlaps with Post in Network's DM and printing/fulfillment services, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than an education specialist.

Emerging players

• READYFOR Inc. READYFOR operates Japan's leading crowdfunding and donation platform, targeting nonprofits, schools, and social projects. Competes in the same donation/fundraising end market as Post in Network's Donation Process Architect service, but through a self-service SaaS model rather than full-service outsourcing.

Others

• Hackersook Inc. Hackersook operates the Official-Alumni.com cloud platform and is Post in Network's strategic partner for alumni network services. Comparable at the alumni-network service layer; relevant as a connected ecosystem participant rather than a competitor in BPO/logistics.
