Nihon Tekkido Adds Subscription Management to CONTEO System

Nihon Tekkido Corporation, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is set to launch a new feature called 'Subscription Management' in their cloud-based management system, CONTEO, starting August 2025. This addition aims to simplify billing and management processes for publishers, marking a significant enhancement to their existing service offerings.

Key Features of the Subscription Management Function

CONTEO is designed specifically for publishers and content providers, functioning as a comprehensive business support tool. The newly introduced Subscription Management feature encompasses three main aspects:

1. Unified Management: Users can now manage contracts, invoicing, payments, and customer information all in one place. This streamlined approach removes the complexity often associated with handling multiple systems.

2. Support for Diverse Services: Beyond traditional subscriptions, the system accommodates various fixed-rate service offerings, making it an adaptable tool for different types of content and products.

3. Data Download Capability: The capacity to download contract trends and shipping data enables seamless integration with other systems, allowing for thorough data analysis and more informed business decisions.

Online content, educational materials, and related merchandise have become critical for fostering ongoing relationships with readers. Many customers expressed the need for a centralized view of each customer’s contract status and purchase history, prompting Nihon Tekkido to develop this feature to better support publishers' sustainable growth through technology.
