iKAZUCHI manages the orders placed by customers with dealers. Based on the value presented to the customer by the dealer, DIS presents billing information to Showa Lease, and Showa Lease collects the value from the customer. Subsequently, Showa Lease pays the purchase value out of the collected value to DIS, and pays the difference between the collected value and the purchase value to the dealer.

Showa Lease is making vigorous efforts to construct differentiated service models in alliance with its outside partners. As part of its company strategy, it provides its financial functions to business partners offering a subscription service that is expected to grow in the future.

DIS and Showa Lease will continue to collaborate in order to upgrade various services that DIS offers through its iKAZUCHI subscription management portal.
