BRANU Inc.

BRANU Inc. provides a construction DX platform called 'CAREECON Platform' targeting small and medium-sized construction companies, which account for 99% of Japan's construction industry. The platform integrates owned media construction, a B2B matching media ('CAREECON'), an integrated SaaS business tool ('CAREECON Plus') covering marketing, recruitment management, and construction site management, and a recruitment support service ('CAREECON Job'). The company's competitive strength lies in its end-to-end approach to solving the management challenges of SME contractors—customer acquisition, workforce hiring, and project profitability—through a single integrated digital platform supported by dedicated customer success teams.
