Pain Points

Do any of these sound familiar?

Double entry across Excel and paper

Hand-keying FAX and paper order forms into Excel. Transcription errors and month-end overtime have become the norm.

Work stops when one person is out

Knowledge of suppliers, prices, and lead times lives only in one person's head.

Price data is all over the place

Unit prices and terms for each supplier are scattered across files—no one knows which is current.

You can't trust your inventory numbers

Lags between receiving and shipping leave physical stock and the books out of sync, causing stockouts and overstock.

Comparing quotes takes a full day

Sending RFQs to multiple suppliers, collecting and comparing them by hand—decisions get delayed.

Approvals happen verbally

Orders are approved by word of mouth or email. With no record of who approved what, internal controls suffer.

How Newji one transforms your operations

Before

2 hours every day on orders—
FAX, email, and Excel re-entry

After

From ordering to document generation,
AI handles it—you just approve

Before

Price negotiations once a year,
always reacting late to raw-material spikes

After

Cost data visualized in real time,
respond instantly with bulk price revisions

"What happened with that order?"
You have to ask the person in charge

After

With global search,
reach the information you need in 3 seconds

Before

Hard to hire enough procurement staff,
siloed knowledge makes handovers impossible

After

AI agents take on procurement work,
so you can run lean with a small team

See the actual product

Because it's a tool the procurement floor uses every day,
we obsessed over an interface that's intuitive to operate.

Dashboard

Item number, item name, company name, PO number—search anything globally. See item, order, and quote counts at a glance with quick-access badges, and reach the information you need fast.

Newji one dashboard screen

RFQ & quote comparison

Automatically compare quotes from multiple suppliers side by side. Decide the best combination of price, lead time, and terms instantly—no spreadsheet required. Whether a quoted unit price is reasonable, high, or low, the AI comments on it against your past transactions and registered costs.

Order management

Track every status in real time, from creating a purchase order through approval, shipment, and delivery. Every change is logged, so "he-said-she-said" disputes disappear.

Newji one order detail screen

Item master management

Manage item numbers, names, suppliers, unit prices, and lead times in one place. Switch between list and card views to grasp item information intuitively.

Inventory management

Visualize on-hand stock, scheduled receipts, scheduled issues, and available stock with color coding. Spot stockout risk at a glance to support your ordering decisions.

AI agent

"How are this month's orders?" "Check Company A's stock"—just give instructions in natural language, and the AI runs 45 skills, from item search to inventory checks and order creation. Any action requiring approval always goes through human confirmation first.

Newji one AI agent chat panel

AI Import

Just upload CSV or Excel from another system, and the AI automatically recognizes the columns and maps them to Newji one's data format. It supports four data types—items, business partners, orders, and quotes—completing tedious data migration in just a few minutes.

The change in procurement Newji one is built to deliver

Results in numbers vary by company.
Newji one creates change like the following, together with our customers.

Eliminate wasted transcription and tallying

Unify information scattered across FAX, paper, and Excel. Break free from double entry and month-end tallying overtime.

Break down knowledge silos

Everyone checks suppliers, prices, and terms on the same screen. Work no longer stops when someone changes roles.

Shorten time to decision

Quote comparison, inventory checks, and order status in a single screen. No more waiting for monthly reports.

An organization that runs lean

An AI assistant supports search, tallying, and document creation, keeping operations going even when short-staffed.

Faster to try it than to hear about it.

Use every feature free for 14 days from sign-up—no credit card required. Your data stays even after the trial ends.

Customer voices

Sample Company A

Procurement Dept.

After adoption, the workload of our ordering operations dropped dramatically. Information we used to manage in Excel is now fully unified...

Sample Company B

Purchasing Section

Price negotiations with suppliers became visible, directly driving cost reductions. The BI dashboard in particular...

Sample Company C

Manufacturing Dept.

Inventory visibility brought stockouts to nearly zero. Trust on the floor changed. Global search is handy too...

The procurement automation Newji one is building toward

Quote collection, price comparison, order processing, delivery management—
AI agents progressively take over the procurement work people used to judge and execute.
The final "GO button" stays in human hands—this is the future Newji one is building toward.

NOWWhat you can do in Newji one today

Already implemented—available from day one once you adopt newji.

AI reference check on price validity

On the RFQ comparison screen, the AI returns a reference comment on each supplier's quoted unit price across four levels—reasonable / high / low / hard to judge. It always shows what it based the judgment on—your past transactions and registered costs. When data is insufficient, it won't force a judgment.
* Currently applies to JPY-denominated quotes. AI usage is included in your monthly plan — no API key required.

Manage RFQs and comparisons in one place

Send RFQs to multiple suppliers at once and aggregate their responses in the system. Compare price, lead time, and terms side by side to choose the best source.

Auto-generate purchase-order drafts from sales orders

Expand the BOM from sales-order data and auto-generate supplier-by-supplier PO drafts. Run them through multi-step approval workflows and handle PO creation and PDF output end to end.

An AI assistant that operates on your behalf

Give instructions in natural language—"Check Company A's stock," "Show last month's orders"—and the AI handles item search, order creation, RFQs, and more. Creating or updating data always requires human approval first.

AI alerts (auto-detection of inventory, price, and lead-time risks)

The AI checks daily for low stock, price changes, and delivery-delay risks, surfacing them on the dashboard as "AI suggestions," with recommended order quantities and alternatives. Execution always goes through human approval first.
* Detection thresholds (days of stock, price-change rate, days of delay) are adjustable per company.

NEWRecently released

Major updates in the first half of 2026. Features marked * are enabled per your subscription.

Major RFQ & quotation upgrades

Duplicate past RFQs, set target prices with vs-target comparison, send reminders to unanswered suppliers, accept declines, capture validity dates / payment terms / quantity-tier pricing / attachments, AI-assisted quote intake and proxy entry, send approval, and a full audit trail.

RFQ analytics (savings tracking)

Visualize response rate, response lead time, decline rate, unit-price savings on adoption, and per-supplier responsiveness by period — report procurement results in numbers.

BOM-driven sourcing

Create a multi-supplier RFQ for all components of an item in one click from its BOM, with each component's preferred supplier preset as a recipient.

3-way matching *

Automatically cross-check orders, receipts/inspections, and documents to catch missed acceptances and quantity/amount mismatches in a dedicated inbox.

Closing invoices, payment reconciliation & credit limits *

Issue frozen consolidated invoices by closing date and partner, reconcile payments with outstanding balance tracking, and visualize per-customer credit limits.

E-invoicing (JP PINT) *

Export closing invoices as JP PINT-compliant XML (UBL 2.1), Japan's Digital Agency standard, ready for accounting software or Peppol access points.

Split deliveries & inter-location stock transfers

Issue a delivery note per partial shipment of a single order, and record stock movements between locations with full history.

freee accounting integration

In addition to Money Forward Cloud, Newji one now integrates with freee — sync invoice data and eliminate double entry in accounting.

PWA mobile support & Manager role

Add Newji one to your home screen and use it like an app (with offline support). A new Manager role handles approvals only, clarifying the split between operations and management.

ROADMAPWhat's coming next

Features currently in development or under consideration. Release timing will be announced as it's decided.

AI price assessment for multi-currency quotes

Today's AI price assessment covers JPY-denominated quotes; we plan to extend it to foreign-currency quotes such as USD, EUR, and CNY. With exchange rates factored in, AI reference judgments will support transactions with overseas suppliers too.

AI suggestion center and impact measurement

We plan to consolidate the dashboard's "AI suggestions" on a dedicated page and visualize suggestion history, approval rates, and actual impact—aiming for a system that continuously improves AI judgment accuracy in operation.

Expanded AI access to external data

We plan to expand the AI's direct access to external information needed for procurement decisions—market, logistics, and public data. Support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) is also under consideration.

AI automates migration from other systems

Just upload CSV or Excel from your existing system.
The AI automatically recognizes the columns and maps them to Newji one's data format—completing tedious data migration in just a few minutes.

1

Choose data type

Select items, partners,
orders, or quotes

2

Any format works

The AI infers the best mapping from column names and sample data. It handles Japanese, English, and abbreviations, showing confidence as a percentage. Manual edits are easy too.

Supports four data types

Items (SKU, unit price, BOM), business partners (company info, contacts), orders (order number, delivery date), and quotes (customer, validity period)—migrate your key master data all at once.

A reassuring review flow

AI mapping results are always confirmed in a preview before execution. Errors and warnings are shown row by row, so you can fix only the problem rows and re-import.

Easy data integration with your existing tools

Standard CSV import/export for all your data—items, business partners, inventory, quotes, orders, contracts, and more.
Exchange data smoothly with your Excel and accounting software.

CSV Import / Export

CSV data integration

Import and export all your data in CSV—items, business partners, inventory, quotes, orders, contracts, and more. The AI auto-recognizes columns, so there's no need to set up complex conversion rules. No more "once data goes in, you can't get it out."

AI Assistant

An AI assistant that operates on your behalf

Just instruct everyday tasks in natural language—item search, inventory checks, order creation, RFQs—and the AI handles them. Creating or updating data always requires human approval first.

Excel / CSV

Import your existing spreadsheets as-is. Data migration is easy.

Accounting software

Export order and invoice data as CSV to load into your accounting software.

PDF document output

One-click PDF output for 7 document types: quotation, purchase order, sales order confirmation, invoice, delivery note, material tag, and inspection report.

External service integration

Connect with HubSpot, Zaico, Money Forward Cloud, and freee (all paid plans). For individual integration with core systems, please contact us.

We protect B2B transaction data to the same standard as a bank

Your procurement data is your competitive edge itself.
Newji one is designed and operated on the principle that a system handling money and information between companies needs bank-grade quality.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Supports TOTP-based two-factor authentication—strong authentication that a password alone can't breach.

Complete per-company data isolation

Every data read and write is scoped to a company ID, so other companies' data is structurally inaccessible. Only intentional sharing (such as shared items) is treated as an exception.

Multi-step approval workflows

Set approval rules by amount or conditions to systematically prevent unintended orders and actions.

Change history for every action

Every data change—items, orders, quotes, and more—is recorded as history. You can trace who changed what, and when, supporting audits and internal controls.

Unauthorized-access prevention (rate limiting)

Set rate limits per action—up to 10 login attempts per 15 minutes, 100 API calls per hour, and so on—to automatically block brute-force attacks and abnormal traffic.

Fine-grained permissions

Set access rights by role—procurement, sales, administrator, and more—opening only the information each person needs.

Error monitoring and operational visibility

We continuously monitor server errors and anomalies, detecting issues in real time. Structured logs let us trace what happened in which operation, so we respond quickly when problems arise.

Quality standards and automated testing

Every code change runs automated tests, type checks, and build verification. We mechanically confirm that data isn't leaking to other companies and that permission checks are in place before releasing.

AI actions always need human approval

Critical actions where an AI agent creates or updates data always go through human confirmation and approval. The final call always stays with a human, so unintended automation can't break your operations.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get the system up and running?
You can start using it right after creating an account. If you need onboarding support, feel free to contact us.
Can it be customized?
Yes—document templates, approval workflows, management fields, and more can be configured to each company's needs.
How is data security ensured?
The application runs on Vercel (Tokyo region) and the database on Supabase (Tokyo region), so your business data is stored within Japan. We implement the security measures enterprise use requires—encryption in transit and at rest, two-factor authentication, access logging, and more.
What kind of support do you offer?
Every plan includes email support. We're also happy to help by email with initial setup and moving your existing data.
Can it integrate with our existing tools?
It supports CSV import/export as standard, so you can easily exchange data with your Excel and accounting software. It also integrates with HubSpot, Zaico, Money Forward Cloud, and freee (all paid plans; not included in the Invited Plan). For individual integration with core systems, please contact us.
Is inventory management included?
Yes—it includes real-time inventory management linked to ordering. See on-hand quantity, scheduled receipts and issues, and available stock at a glance.
Is it available in multiple languages?
It supports Japanese, English, and Chinese. You can use it for transactions with overseas suppliers as well.
Can we migrate data from another system?
Yes—with the AI Import feature, just upload CSV or Excel files and data is automatically converted and imported. It supports items, business partners, orders, and quotes, and because the AI auto-recognizes columns, there's no need to set up complex conversion rules.
What can the AI agent do?
It supports 45 skills, including item search, inventory checks, order creation, RFQs, and partner management. Just instruct it in natural language and the AI executes; critical actions such as creating or updating data always go through human approval first. It runs on leading AI models including Claude, GPT, and Gemini; we select the model, and AI usage is included in your monthly plan (AI features are not available on the Invited Plan).
If we're invited by a business partner, can we really use it for free?
Yes. Invited companies can use the "Invited Plan" completely free. There are limits of 1 user and 1 business partner, and issued PDFs carry a "Powered by OptiSource Co., Ltd." watermark, but you can use all the core features—ordering, quoting, and inventory management. There is no cost to the inviting side (the buyer) either.
What if we want to work with multiple partners on Newji one?
To do business with a second or further partner on Newji one, you'll need to upgrade to the Solo Plan or above (from 6,000 JPY / month). Upgrading removes the partner limit, eliminates the PDF watermark, and lets you invite partners from your side. If two or more people will use the service, choose the Starter Plan (30,000 JPY / month, up to 5 users).
What happens when the 14-day free trial ends?
The free period runs for 14 days from sign-up. Once it ends, you can no longer create or edit data, but billing never starts automatically. The data you already registered is not deleted, and you can still view it and export to CSV and PDF. Subscribe at any time and pick up with the same data. We email you reminders 7, 3, and 1 day before the deadline. When you subscribe, you can pay by credit card or by invoice (bank transfer).
When do we need the Enterprise Plan?
When you need 11 or more users, or when your item count or monthly order volume exceeds a plan's limits, we prepare a custom quote. The Solo, Starter, and Business plans are flat monthly rates—the only difference between them is the user limit (1 / 5 / 10).

Got your answers? The fastest way is to try it yourself.
