Nulab, a pioneer in project and task management solutions based in Fukuoka, Japan, recently announced a significant achievement: the number of paid subscriptions for its flagship product, Backlog, has surpassed 15,000. Simultaneously, its online whiteboard tool, Cacoo, has welcomed over 4 million users since its launch, reflecting the growing demand for effective team collaboration tools in today’s digital workplace.

Overview of Backlog and Cacoo

Launched in 2005, Backlog is designed to streamline task and information sharing among team members, allowing for a more efficient project workflow.

By November 2025, Nulab reported that the paid subscription count had crossed the impressive figure of 15,000, demonstrating Backlog's pivotal role in project management.

On the other hand, Cacoo, which debuted in 2010, serves as an online whiteboard enabling teams to visualize business processes and share ideas in real-time. This collaborative platform enhances understanding during meetings and workshops, facilitating consensus building. With a growing user base now exceeding 4 million, its utility extends well beyond Japan, making it a valuable tool for teams around the globe.

This philosophy is encapsulated in their commitment to Teamwork Management, which involves harmonizing the following five elements: goal sharing, role clarity, effective leadership, thoughtful communication, and psychological safety. By prioritizing these aspects, Nulab aims to create an environment where teams can thrive together.

The company is currently developing features that support these elements, further enhancing the capabilities of both Backlog and Cacoo. Nulab’s ongoing mission is to ensure teams can collaborate without fear, fostering a more productive and harmonious workplace.
