Notice Regarding Commencement of Alliance for Joint Development of

Dispatched Employee Management System

Ten companies, OUTSOURCING Inc., WILLTEC Co., Ltd., AGEKKE Co., Ltd., SANKO Corporation, JAPAN CREATE GROUP, LTD., ToYoWork Corporation, NISSO CORPORATION, HIRAYAMA HOLDINGS Co., Ltd, FUJIARTE Co.,ltd., and WORLD INTEC CO., LTD. have agreed to a capital and business alliance with Cloud Staffing Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director: Ryo Emoto) which provides HR tech service.

HR GUIDE Co., Ltd. and CROSSLINK Co., Ltd., in which the ten companies mentioned above have invested as major shareholders, provide a dispatched employee management system that aims to share added value with client companies, by increasing productivity and improving the working environment through more efficient operations for client companies and returns the compensation to dispatched workers. However, because it is common to use the system adopted by the client in order to link the system with the dispatch destination company that will become the client, the dispatching company that has multiple dispatch destinations has to manage multiple systems adopted by each client. There are also cases in which the dispatch destination companies want to unify the dispatched employee management system, but unavoidably manage multiple systems.

We recognized this as a common issue for the entire manufacturing dispatching industry and decided it was necessary to collaborate with major manufacturing dispatching industry companies to jointly develop the "industry-standard platform" that will become de facto standard in dispatched employee management. Accordingly, we reached this capital and business alliance. After the establishment of Cloud Staffing Co., Ltd. by JAPAN CREATE GROUP, LTD., the 10 companies will become a joint venture company in which each will hold a 10% stake through a third-party allotment.

Through this alliance, we will leverage the resources and expertise of HR GUIDE Co., Ltd. and CROSSLINK Co., Ltd. to not only expand the businesses and improve the corporate value of each company, but also develop the industry as a whole and to add more value, in order to lead to improved treatment of working dispatched employees.

Please refer to the attached document for details.

It is common to use the system adopted by the client in order to link the system with the dispatch destination company that will become the client. However, as a result, the dispatching company that has multiple dispatch destinations is put at a disadvantage, as it has to manage multiple systems adopted by each client. Recognizing this as a common issue for the entire manufacturing dispatching industry, we believe that accelerating the expansion of the HR-Tech function will expand the businesses and improve the corporate value of each company, as well as improve treatment of working dispatched employees, thereby improving the position of the entire industry.
