Plain: Enterprise API Platform
Plain is a business API platform for the digital transformation of any commercial transaction. From B2C to B2B, it contributes to the vertical launch and continuous service improvement of online marketplaces and other digital businesses. Even for large, traditional companies that do not have a robust digital product development system available, Plain can significantly shorten development time and facilitate agile development with both internal and external development partners, as well as streamline day-to-day business operations. Plain's back-end system meets the security standards required by major companies, and with a full range of reporting and monitoring functions, Plain builds an environment where clients can focus on improving user experience and business operations with peace of mind.
- Headless Architecture
Plain's headless architecture allows for the design of user experiences and workflows freely according to business applications and customer values, as well as the implementation of sophisticated user interfaces. From web services and native apps (iOS/Android) for consumers to business management screens and business dashboards for corporations, we can customize any digital touchpoint.
- Orchestration
By utilizing APIs and other data linkage functions from databases built on cloud servers to various external SaaS and internal systems, we can provide a one-stop solution from system infrastructure to the user interfaces necessary for the operation of digital services and related operations. Systems made using Plain can adapt to complex and highly individualized business requirements, and can be flexibly reconfigured according to business phase and service scale.
- Data Platform
All business data is stored in an analyzable state via the Plain interface, so even without specialized data engineering or data platforms, clients have immediate access to a data infrastructure and business intelligence capabilities for advanced data science, marketing automation, and more. Additionally, even if a client has already integrated a data platform or BI tool into their business, data can be provided in the format of the relevant system to further expand the range of data utilization across the entire business.

Concept
pléin/Origin of Plain
The word plain is defined as a flat, clear, unadorned plateau. Our product Plain is ultimately a foundation.
The landscape changes diversely and has the potential to develop and expand over time as our clients and various partners gather and co-create new services and businesses with Plain.
No two digital services created by utilizing this product will be the same.
We aim to create a product that allows people and companies that are not necessarily skilled in digital technology to more than adequately express their individuality and strengths, and that can also serve as a stage for realizing new opportunities for growth. This concept is the origin of the name Plain.
