Jordan

What Jordan does

Jordan is a Japanese technology company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It provides system design, digital content production, and packaged software development services, with an integrated technology stack that combines drone services with mobility and IT solutions. Its primary customers are local government entities in Japan that require advanced technology integration for development projects and public-service delivery, including infrastructure-related use cases where drones, mobility platforms, and software are bundled into a single delivery scope. In December 2022, Jordan acquired a majority stake in Airs, a Tokyo-based drone services company, making it a subsidiary and extending the company's capabilities in unmanned aerial operations to be paired with its existing IT services portfolio.

The business model is project-based services and packaged software delivery to public-sector clients in Japan. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company has not disclosed a per-seat SaaS or subscription pricing structure; revenue mechanics therefore appear to be tied to contracts, development milestones, and packaged software licenses sold to municipal and regional government buyers. Jordan employs between 251 and 500 people and operates exclusively within Japan, with no evidence of international expansion in the provided sources. The company is privately held and has received only two disclosed funding rounds, both in 2000 (a Series 1 round of approximately $470,891 and a larger round of approximately $1.68 million from Mitsubishi UFJ Capital).

Strategically, the most significant recent move is the Airs acquisition, which signals an intent to move beyond traditional system design and packaged software into drone-enabled public-sector projects. The company is led by founder and President/CEO Toshikazu Sato, supported by an executive team covering business planning, marketing, sales engineering, and outside directors. No public financials, ARR figures, or product-roadmap disclosures are available, and the input data overall supports a profile of a mid-sized, long-tenured Japanese IT services firm with a recent but unproven push into drone-enabled local government solutions.
