About the client

The enterprise employee-benefits service "Welfare Partners Co., Ltd.」。

A leading domestic employee-benefits provider with 10,000 corporate contracts and a base of 8M members. Across many categories — lodging · dining · health · childcare — it is a social-infrastructure service supporting corporate HR strategy and employees' daily lives.

After years in service, the monolith hit its limits — peak-season outages · fragmented logins · operational load. Migrating to a role-based microservices foundation without stopping the business was the key to continuity and growth.

CHALLENGE
The business challenges faced

Four business challenges holding back growth.

We treated it not as a technical issue but as a management challenge tied directly to usage rate, contract retention, operational efficiency, and business continuity — and modernized accordingly.

Service goes down at peak season, missing opportunities
With a single-point-of-failure monolithGoes down under traffic spikes, eroding members' usage opportunities and companies' contract value.
Logins fragment and members churn
Authentication is scattered per service, soForced to log in over and over, usage rate stagnates.
Coupon · point updates are slow
to reflecttook hours, and, members felt it was "unusable," churned, and satisfaction dropped.
The need to migrate to a next-gen platform without stopping the business
Serving 8M active members,Zero-downtime service modernization, managing migration risk was the key to business continuity.

TRANSFORMATION
The transformation we achieved together

Without stopping the business, advancing to the next decade across four areas.

Split the monolith by role into Auth (SSO) · Aggregation (BFF) · Benefits Core · CMS. Sessions are shared across a Redis cluster to enable single sign-on, the BFF speeds up per-screen responses, and the cut-over ran with zero downtime while old and new platforms operated in parallel.
