Becoming a complete service marketplace
The number of service categories has grown from 15 to more than 450, with a wide range of customers using our services for both private and business purposes.

The company intends to retain the "friendliness" and "easy to use" impression of the existing Coconara. In addition, the new brand identity will be a brand with diversity that "offers a full range of services" and a sense of trust that "can be used in all situations," from private to business use.
