Needs is a foreign worker employment support service offered by S&D 株式会社, mainly for Japanese companies that accept “Specified Skilled Workers” and “Technical Intern Trainees.” Its core message is helping companies move away from relying on external support/supervisory organizations toward in-house supervision and in-house support, thereby reducing monthly supervision fees and external document preparation costs. It is worth noting that the collected information does not indicate a standard SaaS platform; it looks more like a consulting, process-building, and administrative support service.
Its main service areas include building the internal corporate structure required to accept foreign workers, creating manuals based on employment rules, interviewing technical intern trainees, supporting the preparation of Immigration Services Agency application documents, handling issues, turning periodic reporting into a structured process, embedding foreign worker support methods, and creating dispute-response manuals based on past cases. The website mentions experience managing over 1,500 technical intern trainees, which appears to be one source of its methodology.
From a SaaS perspective, the website does not disclose information on account systems, team collaboration, permission management, third-party integrations, APIs, data security certifications, or cloud/self-hosted deployment. The service flow only mentions that free consultations are conducted via an online meeting system, so it should not be regarded as offering full software platform capabilities.
Needs does not publish fixed package pricing. Instead, it uses a customized proposal model after a free consultation. Its pricing logic is to first understand the company’s current situation, then separate what the company can handle on its own from what requires external support, charging only for the necessary support. The cost comparisons given include traditional supervision fees of about ¥30,000 to ¥40,000 per person per month; calculated at ¥40,000, that equals ¥480,000 per person per year. External document preparation by agencies averages ¥150,000 to ¥200,000 per person.
The strengths are its clear positioning and suitability for Japanese companies that want to reduce supervision fees and internalize foreign worker employment management capabilities. On-demand support may also help avoid redundant costs from package-based services. The weaknesses are limited pricing transparency and a lack of information on customer cases, delivery timelines, service SLAs, and similar details. It also does not disclose common SaaS capabilities such as automation, integrations, or permission controls.
Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the text, and the service is clearly aimed at Japan-specific employment compliance scenarios. Payment methods are also not disclosed. Alternatives include local Japanese registered support organizations, administrative scrivener or labor and social security attorney offices, and foreign worker employment management consultancies. If a company needs systematic tooling, it should separately evaluate Japan-based HR SaaS, labor management systems, or foreign worker employment compliance platforms.
