We would like to inform you that we have made some changes to the pricing structure for the "Sustainable Supply Chains Assessment Platform (SSCAP)" provided by the Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFSM), following the conclusion of the free trial period previously announced.

This change follows our previous announcement regarding the "revision of the free service plan" (a shift from "free for two years from the registration date" to "free for all users until the end of 2026") and is intended to reorganize the pricing structure after the free period ends, making it simpler, easier to understand, and more user-friendly.

With this update, we have consolidated the pricing plans for the "Procurement" user category into a single plan that offers an unlimited number of supplier invitations.
By removing the limit on the number of supplier invitations, we have created a pricing structure that minimizes additional costs associated with expanding usage and allows you to utilize SSCAP more efficiently. In particular, for companies that manage a large number of suppliers, this is expected to result in significant cost savings compared to the previous multi-plan structure.

■Pricing Structure After the Free Trial Period Ends (Revised)
・"Supplier" User Category
　You can continue to use the service for free.

・"Procurement" User Category
　We have standardized this category to a single plan with an unlimited number of supplier invitations.
　(*This is a change from the "multiple plans based on invitation limits" previously announced.)

(*) About the Free Trial Period (Additional Information)
