E-Store has two main business segments: EC (e-commerce) operations and Hands-On Incubation (HOI) operations. These businesses are provided by E-Store and its affiliated companies.

In the EC business, E-Store provides e-commerce systems for both small-to-medium enterprises and large enterprises. Systems for small-to-medium enterprises are offered in SaaS format and address challenges such as digital transformation expansion, labor shortages, and declining consumer populations. Systems for large enterprises support enterprise-class e-commerce site construction with comprehensive functionality.

E-Store also provides payment services that support diverse payment methods including credit cards, convenience store payments, and BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later). These services feature high security and scalability with customization options.

In marketing services, E-Store supports client companies in expanding sales and improving operational efficiency. Services span from research and analysis to execution management, including creative production, CRM operations, and promotional services.

In the HOI business, E-Store shares D2C (Direct to Consumer) expertise and data with partner companies to develop joint ventures. The company invests systems, marketing resources, personnel, and capital in projects structured through M&A, joint ventures, and profit-sharing models.

E-Store's management strategy is to support corporate digital transformation (DX) and contribute to revenue growth and value creation. Specifically, the company supports business growth through EC site construction and marketing services. Additionally, E-Store provides DX support that considers supply chain and value chain optimization, and operates a business that offers expertise and funding to companies with proprietary products.

The domestic B-to-C EC market continues to expand, which E-Store views as a favorable opportunity. Even after the impact of COVID-19 has eased, the momentum toward EC adoption and DX promotion remains steady. However, the company is monitoring challenges such as rising material costs and labor shortages.

E-Store provides comprehensive DX support to enterprises through three core pillars: EC systems, payment services, and marketing services. The company is particularly strengthening its OMO (Online-Merge-Offline) initiatives, aiming beyond sales functions to optimize supply chains. This approach drives revenue expansion in existing operations.

As a new business initiative, E-Store is advancing its HOI business. Leveraging its EC expertise and investment capital, the company actively supports enterprises that are missing growth opportunities. This strategy aims for mutual growth between E-Store and target companies, thereby expanding the revenue base.

Talent recruitment and development are recognized as critical priorities. As competition intensifies for technical talent, E-Store is focusing on enhancing brand recognition in the recruitment market, strengthening internal training programs, and improving human resources systems. These efforts enable stable talent acquisition and support business expansion.
