Infomart Partners with Okinawa Bank

Infomart, a leading provider of digital solutions for businesses in Japan, has recently entered into a strategic business matching agreement with Okinawa Bank. This partnership aims to drive digital transformation (DX) for local companies in Okinawa, enhancing operational efficiency and addressing various business challenges through innovative digital solutions.

Background of the Agreement

Okinawa Prefecture has been actively pursuing a sustainable development strategy, known as the "New Okinawa 21st Century Vision Basic Plan," which was established in May 2022. This plan focuses on the harmonization of economic, social, and environmental aspects, with an emphasis on boosting the area's economic capabilities. Particularly in the industrial sector, there is a strong push for accelerating DX and improving labor productivity. To support these goals, the prefecture and Infomart signed a collaboration agreement in August 2025 to promote industrial DX and tackle regional challenges.

In this context, Okinawa Bank has gained recognition for its reliable and customer-focused services, recently being selected by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Banks in 2024, marking a significant achievement for a financial institution based in the prefecture. Furthermore, it has been recognized for having the highest revenue growth among regional banks in Japan, showcasing its robust consulting capabilities that support the growth of local businesses, including recent efforts to assist off-island companies with their DX initiatives.

Since its establishment in 1998, Infomart has been at the forefront of digitizing inter-company transactions in Okinawa, which is reflected in its plan to open a new sales office in the prefecture by April 2024. Through its BtoB platform series and the "TANOMU" service, Infomart aims to streamline back-office operations for over 14,000 local companies. Driven by a commitment to regional growth, Infomart has engaged in various partnerships and community support activities, such as corporate hometown tax contributions and sponsoring local sports teams.

The new business matching agreement is expected to blend Okinawa Bank's robust customer base with Infomart's extensive expertise in DX promotion. This fusion intends to increase the pace of DX adoption not only in the main island of Okinawa but also in its surrounding islands, ultimately enhancing the overall productivity of the regional economy and contributing to solving existing challenges.

Alliance Partners

As part of its growth strategy, Infomart is actively seeking alliance partners to introduce and sell its BtoB platform. Interested companies can find more information on Infomart’s website.

Service Overview

The BtoB platform is a cloud service designed to digitize transactions between companies, enabling efficiency, cost reduction, and a move towards a paperless environment. It encompasses eight series, including negotiation, ordering, specification sheets, invoices, industry channels, quotations, contracts, and trading processes. As of March 2026, the platform boasts over 1.25 million corporate users, with a total annual transaction volume exceeding 71 trillion yen. More details can be found here.

On the other hand, "TANOMU" offers a unique ordering system specifically for wholesalers. It leverages platforms like LINE for notifications about new products and discounts, thereby increasing efficiency and sales potential. By consolidating multiple order methods such as fax, phone, and email into the "TANOMU" system, businesses can minimize manual entry errors. Integrating it with existing core systems allows for automated import of order data, ensuring timely delivery without delays. More information is available here.
