Glocalist Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company that has developed a SaaS platform for managing risks associated with international business. The company was established on June 5, 2020, by Mami Yoshikawa, who serves as the Representative Director and CEO. Yoshikawa's background includes experience at Recruit Co., Ltd. in HR and marketing, followed by the founding of michil Co., Ltd., a cross-border marketing firm with a presence in 12 Asian countries. This experience in global business informed the creation of Glocalist.
The Glocalist platform is designed to help enterprises address the complexities of overseas business risks, including those related to ESG and corporate governance. It functions as a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tool by detecting, sharing, and organizing external risk information. A key feature is the "Publications" function, which collects, translates, and provides public notices and official documents from government agencies and local authorities in various countries. This information, originally in the local language, is translated into Japanese and English within 24 hours of being published. The service covers numerous institutions in countries like Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The platform also offers "Suggestions," which are commentary articles from legal and professional experts familiar with the laws and business environment of each country. This helps clients understand complex topics such as data protection laws, labor regulations, and tax systems. Clients can use the "Boards" and "Actions" features to tag and organize information, manage tasks, and facilitate communication across departments, creating a centralized system for risk management. The business model is subscription-based, with monthly fees starting from 150,000 yen per country per company.
