N-Technologies (N), which operates ATENA, a service that transmits mail receipt and management, has announced on Tuesday that it has raised about 100 million yen in the pre-series A round.In this round, Chiba Dojo Fund served as a lead instator and CORAL CAPITAL participated.CORAL CAPITAL is a follow -up following the last sea drown.With the round this time, N's cumulative procurement amount reached about 130 million yen.
N was founded last June.In ATENA, the surface is scanned to see the sender name and binding, and it is registered on the ATENA dashboard.When registered, the user is notified by Slack or Microsoft Teams, so the user decides whether to see if individual mail is needed from the dashboard.You can choose whether to transfer to your own address, open the contents, scan, or discard it.
N has not disclosed the number of users of ATENA, but demand has expanded due to the growing telework.In May 2021, the number of mail handled increased by about six times the last six months (May 2020, from November 2020 and from November 2020 to May 2021, ATENA's digitized mail.Comparison of the number of things).In addition to the automatic processing cloud "SWEEEEP" for receiving the automatic lab, it also collaborated with Layerx's "Invoice AI Cloud" Layerx Invoice ".It seems that there is an aim to provide postal receipt → invoice reading → transfer automation at a stretch, such as joining the Electronic Invoice Promotion Council.
According to the founder and CEO Naoki Shiragi, Zapier cooperation has been added in the past year, and for example, it has been able to automate processing such as writing a list of monthly postal receipt to Google Spreadsheet.The time from request to action, such as real transfer and opened scanning, has been reduced, and the authority function that can set the content that can be operated by the person in charge in the company has also been expanded.Originally, he is a BPO (business process outsourcing) service, but it is possible to expand its business with the data of mail as a trigger.
Until now, we have been focusing on creating products and strengthening the organizational structure.We believe that we can answer the needs of certain customers.I wonder if the operation has been enhanced, the product has been polished, and security has been enhanced to some extent.
From here, I want to actively take on test marketing.For example, the recognition of the mail receipt cloud is still lower than that of an electronic contract service.I want many people to know that ATENA can DX if you use ATENA to work for mail.(Mr. Shirahige)
ATENA's main target is a company that arrives a lot from large companies to startups, but recently, there are more inquiries from professionals, such as lawyers and social insurance workers, are increasing.He said he would not switch to ATENA in all cases due to legal restrictions, but considering that Corona's evils would become a normal way to some extent, they would conform to society, including amendments to laws.It will be necessary to work on creating an environment.
N plans to strengthen recruitment to expand business in addition to marketing.
