Loglass

Loglass Inc., established on May 30, 2019, provides a cloud-based corporate management platform aimed at advancing data-driven decision-making within enterprises. The company was founded by CEO Tomoya Nunokawa and Ryuta Sakamoto. Nunokawa's professional background includes experience in investment banking at SMBC Nikko Securities, where he was involved in M&A and IPO advisory, followed by a role in corporate strategy at GameWith Inc., managing IR and business administration. This first-hand experience with the cumbersome nature of corporate planning, often reliant on spreadsheets, directly inspired the creation of Loglass.

The company's core offering is the "Loglass Business Management" platform, a SaaS product designed to replace inefficient, manual, and siloed budgeting and forecasting processes. It operates by integrating disparate corporate data sources—such as budgets, forecasts, and KPIs—into a unified database with a single click. This allows for streamlined data collection, automated processing, and quicker, more accurate performance analysis and reporting. The platform's features are built to be intuitive for all stakeholders, including corporate planning, business divisions, and accounting departments, ensuring broad usability. It can handle large volumes of data, with the capacity for over 50 million records and fast response times, and is supported by a customer success team composed of professionals from consulting and corporate planning backgrounds.

Loglass primarily serves large enterprises and has seen significant adoption from companies like GMO Internet Group and KDDI Smart Drone. The business model is subscription-based (SaaS). To further address client needs, Loglass has expanded its product suite under a multi-product strategy, introducing solutions for IT investment management, sales planning, and personnel planning. Additionally, the company offers a BPO and consulting service called "Loglass Success Partner" to provide more hands-on support for corporate planning departments. The company has achieved significant financial milestones, including a Series A funding round of $13.2 million in April 2022 and a substantial Series B round of approximately $44.4 million (7 billion JPY) in July 2024, bringing its total disclosed funding to over $70 million. This funding is intended to strengthen its development capabilities, establish new business teams, and potentially set up overseas development hubs, with a goal of expanding to over 20 products by 2027.
