## About

Founded in 2015 and based in Tokyo, Japan, Kikitori Co., Ltd. operates the agricultural distribution SaaS platform nimaru, develops information systems, and manages fruit processing and retail stores, supporting transactions, data management, distribution operations, product handling, sales activities, and business workflows across the agricultural supply chain.

In September 2026, Kikitori Co., Ltd. raised JPY 300 million in series A funding from Agribusiness Investment & Consultation Co. , Ltd and GLOBIS Capital Partners.

Kikitori Co., Ltd. specializes in agricultural technology with a focus on optimizing agricultural distribution systems. Their core product offerings include nimaru, a SaaS platform designed specifically to streamline the agricultural logistics and distribution process. Released in 2025, nimaru enables users—comprising shippers and distribution businesses—to efficiently manage daily operations such as order processing, inventory management, and documentation without the need for traditional analog methods like phone calls or faxes. The nimaruJA service further enhances this by connecting various stakeholders in the distribution process, including cooperatives, transportation companies, and producers, to facilitate the digitalization of on-site tasks. Kikitori primarily targets the Japanese market, particularly within urban areas, but also aims to expand its reach to other regions in Asia where agricultural technology solutions are in demand.

Kikitori generates revenue through subscription-based models for its software services, particularly through its nimaru and nimaruJA platforms. By offering these services, the company engages in B2B transactions with agricultural producers, retailers, and distributors, who utilize the platforms to improve operational efficiency. Clients pay for access to the services, which may include tiered pricing plans based on the scale of operations or specific features utilized. Although specific pricing details for these services are not disclosed, transactions typically involve annual subscriptions or service contracts. This structure enables Kikitori to establish long-term partnerships with its clients, thereby promoting consistent revenue growth while providing value through technology-enhanced agricultural distribution solutions.

As of September 2026, Kikitori Co., Ltd. plans to expand use of its agricultural distribution platform, strengthen system development, increase business partnerships, and support supply chain operations.
