Company profile
researched Aug 2026株式会社hokan develops and sells hokan®, a cloud-based system for insurance agencies in Japan. The product consolidates customer and policy contract information on a single platform, covering the full agency workflow from first customer contact through after-follow-up. Functional modules described by the company include centralized customer records, templates for activity logs and reports, intention-confirmation and comparative product recommendation (enabling paperless proposal of configurable recommended products), file management with documents linked to each customer and full-text search of past files, after-follow-up tracking for accidents, complaints and unpaid premiums, maturity/renewal handling with automatically applied renewal conditions and progress visibility, mobile data entry, an activity view listing all customer interactions recorded in the system, and aggregation/analysis with configurable CSV export for management indicators and performance tallies.
The company positions hokan® around three stated values: all-in-one customer management, building business workflows that comply with Japan's Insurance Business Act, and organization-wide productivity gains from consolidating data in one platform. It frames the target problems as information scattered across systems, Excel and paper, insufficiently documented sales activity and customer response (weak internal control posture), and administrative workload that crowds out customer after-follow-up. The site also emphasizes reduction of paper and overhead costs and the creation of more selling time with customers.
Business model
The company licenses the hokan® platform to insurance agencies, with a pricing simulation offered on its website and downloadable product documentation as the entry point. Alongside the software it provides paid-for or bundled onboarding services: migration of data from existing systems, implementation support in which customer success staff design an operating model suited to each agency's objectives, and ongoing utilization-promotion support including proposals for new workflows and introduction of upgraded features after go-live.
Traction
The site publishes customer case studies, including Orix Life Insurance on combining visibility of field sales activity with sales-force development, Insurance Network Center reporting standardized business processes and double-digit revenue growth alongside an increase in meeting volume, and Happy Life on using accumulated system data to deliver consistent service. The company states its customer success members have supported implementations at a large number of agencies.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
The company differentiates on depth of insurance-agency domain understanding translated into usability, so that Insurance Business Act-compliant workflows can be operated smoothly; on breadth of functionality covering the whole agency workflow in one platform rather than separate tools; and on data-integration paths (joint gateway, API, Excel template import) plus hands-on customer success from implementation planning through ongoing use.
Technology
hokan® is delivered as a cloud (SaaS) system with mobile access for entering information away from the office. Integration capabilities include a shared/joint gateway (共同ゲートウェイ) for bulk import of existing policy information so contract status stays maintained, an API to connect an agency's own website to hokan® and remove duplicate data entry and verification work, and "Magic Import," which maps externally produced Excel files to templates in hokan® so no manual reformatting is needed. The company states the set of connectable external services and functions will continue to expand.
Go-to-market
Direct online lead generation through the product website: visitors can request a three-document set explaining hokan®'s functions by email or run a pricing simulation. Published customer case studies from insurance carriers and agencies are used as supporting material, and customer success teams handle implementation and expansion within accounts.
Insurance agencies in Japan, including insurance carriers' and agencies' sales organizations. Named users cited on the company's site include Orix Life Insurance (オリックス生命保険株式会社), Insurance Network Center (有限会社保険ネットワークセンター), and Happy Life (株式会社ハッピーライフ).
