Karang (Kasuri) Crosses KRW 100 Billion in Cumulative Sales; Accelerates Mobility AX Enterprise Transformation

Karang, a mobility platform company operating 'Casury', an on-site vehicle maintenance service, has achieved 1 million cumulative service cases and 100 billion won in cumulative revenue, leading innovation in the mobility aftermarket. Based on field data and operational know-how accumulated over the past 10 years, Karang has officially announced a major transformation from a simple on-site maintenance provider to a 'Mobility AX (AI Transformation) Company'. Karang's growth trajectory is remarkable. Revenue, which was 1.4 billion won in 2018, rapidly grew to 24.1 billion won in 2024, and is expected to exceed 30 billion won in 2025. This success is underpinned by stable demand for B2C on-site maintenance services, along with the successful expansion of fleet total care services for corporate clients. Furthermore, the expansion of SaaS (Software as a Service) for repair shops and parts distributors, combined organically with data-driven parts businesses, maximized synergy across the entire aftermarket value chain. The analysis results of Casury service usage data are interesting. It was found that 19.3% of customers used imported cars, significantly exceeding the domestic imported car registration rate (11.4%). By car model, for imported cars, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6 were most frequently used, in that order, while for domestic cars, Grandeur, Avante, and Carnival were used most frequently, in that order. By region, usage rates were prominent in high-density vehicle areas such as Incheon Seo-gu, Seoul Gangnam-gu, Gangseo-gu, and Songpa-gu. Furthermore, analysis of free inspection data revealed that unusual signs requiring additional maintenance were found in 23.6% of all vehicles used, with main items including tire wear (7.7%), brake pads (4.2%), and engine oil (3.4%). Karang plans to train its AI with the vast maintenance data accumulated over the past 10 years to introduce an 'AI Agent' that automates exterior panel inspection, repair assignment and estimation, and EPMS (Electronic Parts Management System) drawing-based estimations. This will innovatively enhance operational efficiency and accuracy across the entire mobility aftermarket, including B2C, fleet, insurance companies, and the used car market, and ultimately aims to successfully establish a 'full-stack' subscription model that encompasses everything from maintenance to parts and insurance. Park Jong-kwan and Ha Sang-wook, co-CEOs of Karang, stated, "We have entered a phase where we are increasing efficiency and lowering costs through an AI operating system that combines data and on-site control systems." They added, "By universalizing a 'trustworthy maintenance experience' through predictive maintenance and in-vehicle data linkage, we aim to set new standards for the mobility aftermarket."
