Wiz

What Wiz does

Wiz Co., Ltd. (株式会社ウイズ) is an independent Japanese IT services company founded in January 1996 and headquartered in Osaka. The company operates five business lines: contract software development, proprietary package development, web production, IT consulting, and licensed technical staff dispatch (labor dispatch permit 派 27-302640). Its two flagship proprietary products are CARM2, a no-code digital tool platform enabling non-technical users to build smartphone and web applications with AR, coupon, and stamp rally features for DX and sales-promotion use cases, and kenco, a tablet-based automated driver inspection system certified by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (certifications JM25-004 and JG23-004) that performs alcohol detection, biometric checks, and license verification for transportation operators.

The technology stack is broad and conventional for a Japanese systems integrator: C#, JavaScript/jQuery, TypeScript with Nuxt3 and Riot.js, PHP/Laravel, ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework, Electron for desktop, and SQL Server/MySQL on the data tier. AI and computer vision capabilities are integrated rather than developed in-house: WebAR experiences are built on the 8thWall engine (photo, face, floor, sky, hand, and spatial recognition); the kenco product embeds facial recognition for driver identity and biometric capture; and an IBM Watson Discovery deployment powers natural-language knowledge retrieval for a construction-sector client. Wiz holds JIPDEC Privacy Mark certification (No. 20001060) and operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Wiz Trust Co., Ltd.

Wiz generates revenue primarily through project-based contract development recognized on completion, supplemented by subscription-based sales of kenco (flat-rate 30,000 JPY/month with no per-driver charges), web production retainers, engineer dispatch fees, and consulting engagements. Sales are conducted via direct enterprise engagement concentrated in the Kansai / Osaka metropolitan area, supplemented by direct-to-customer channels for kenco and app-store distribution for CARM2-built applications. Customers span municipal governments, printing companies, transportation fleets, manufacturers (including Kohler Japan), financial trading firms, food & beverage operators, and event organizers, with disclosed 30th-fiscal-period revenue of 1,796,000,000 JPY.
