Net Protections Launches 'NP After Payment Air' with Kyudenko for Service Payments

Introduction of 'NP After Payment Air'

Net Protections, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently rolled out its after-payment service 'NP After Payment Air' as a payment option for services offered by Kyudenko, located in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka. The collaboration aims to streamline the payment process, significantly improving efficiency while reducing the administrative burdens traditionally associated with billing.

The Background Behind the Implementation

Kyudenko has been actively pursuing enhancements in productivity and business optimization through the integration of digital technology. They are not only focusing on reducing working hours but are also committed to fostering diverse work styles and improving employee engagement, striving for sustainable growth and societal contribution.

In seeking to improve efficiency in billing operations, Kyudenko identified 'NP After Payment Air' as a fitting solution. Previously, managing billing tasks were cumbersome, involving time-consuming tasks such as issuing paper invoices, tracking payments, and handling overdue accounts. The implementation of 'NP After Payment Air' has allowed the digitalization and automation of these processes, effectively easing the burden on administrative staff.

Enhanced Payment Flexibility

With 'NP After Payment Air', users can choose from various payment methods, including convenience store payments, bank transfers, and QR code payments. This flexibility not only enhances user convenience but also contributes positively to customer satisfaction, making it a strategic decision for Kyudenko.

Implementation Journey and Outcomes

Testing for 'NP After Payment Air' commenced in January 2024, where the service's capabilities, including high credit assessment accuracy, were closely monitored. The reduction in time spent by employees on billing tasks was clearly visible. Additionally, alleviating employees from the stress of client reminders has led to improved mental well-being.

As part of a phased approach over more than a year, operational flows were refined, eventually leading to a full-scale rollout across all 85 sales offices.

The introduction of this service was driven by a partnership with JCB, who have collaborated in promoting sales of Net Protections’ services to JCB member stores since their capital alliance in 2021.

About 'NP After Payment Air'

'NP After Payment Air' is designed for use in service sectors such as plumbing, cleaning, and appliance installations. Customers benefit from a payment model that allows settlement after receiving services, eliminating the need for cash on hand. Even in cases of additional charges, users won't face worries about insufficient cash. Additionally, there's no need for member registration or inputting credit card details.

For businesses, the adoption of 'NP After Payment Air' means that they can outsource the entire billing process—from credit review to invoice issuance and payment collection—to Net Protections, effectively transferring the risk of uncollected receivables. The reduction in collection tasks also translates to fewer errors in cash handling, allowing companies to concentrate on their core operations without distraction.
