How it connects

Taking on one person involves all of these parties

Hand-offs that used to be split across email, paper and spreadsheets are joined into a single line.

  1. STEP 1

    The hire is decided

    Register the person you are hiring. If support is outsourced, the registered support organization joins here.

The same case, seen through each party's permissions

  • The foreign national Only their own application
  • Employer Only their own foreign employees
  • Support organization Only the people they are contracted to support
  • Immigration lawyer Only the cases they are engaged for
  • Even on the same data, no one can see another company's or another person's information beyond their role.

Safety & compliance

Because everyone is connected, the boundaries are drawn carefully

Residency information is sensitive personal data that shapes a person's life. Who cannot see what comes first in our design.

Records from a previous employer do not follow a job change

A new employer never sees records from the previous one. The previous employer keeps access to the period the person was with them.

Work that requires a licence is done by those who hold it

In line with the Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist Act, preparation of documents is designed to be carried out by the lawyer and the host organization. Application documents are never completed by a registered support organization alone.

An official API connection with the Immigration Services Agency

We operate an official API connection with the Immigration Services Agency, with more than three years in service.

Confirmed through the government's grey-zone clarification system (official reply dated 6 February 2025).A national scheme under the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act has confirmed that providing this system does not constitute preparation of documents under the Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist Act.
