What SOFTTEX does

SOFTTEX (株式会社ソフトテックス, ticker 550A) is a Nagoya-headquartered Japanese systems integrator founded in 1984 and publicly listed on the TSE Standard Market and NSE Main Market since April 2026. The company employs 355 people across four offices (Nagoya, Tokyo, Sapporo, Naha) and reported FY2026 revenue of ¥3.64 billion. SOFTTEX delivers B2B consulting, custom software development, and managed services targeting legacy modernization, healthcare IT, disaster prevention, and enterprise DX.

The technology portfolio spans proprietary and partner platforms. Core differentiated assets include the automated RPG-to-Java migration tool (80%+ conversion rates), the ORCARE medical IT support service covering ~1,800 medical institutions using the Japan Medical Standard Receipt Software (ORCA), and a disaster prevention systems line (flood control, debris flow, meteorological, earthquake early warning) built on a Japan Meteorological Agency-licensed foundation. DX offerings layer on OutSystems low-code development (claimed 70-80% faster cycles), WinActor RPA, IT asset slimming/visualization (claims of 65% TCO reduction), and the recently introduced SOFTTEX AI Docs generative AI service for specification documents.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services (custom development, modernization projects), with a recurring layer from ORCARE support contracts and IBMi (AS/400) maintenance subscriptions (from ¥30,000/month). Distribution is direct sales-led, supplemented by SI vendor co-delivery partnerships (JBCC, Fujitsu West Japan Business Group, Solpac/Florida three-party collaboration) and trade show channels. Customer concentration spans 1,600+ medical institutions (long-tail recurring), major enterprise accounts (a major automotive manufacturer, a major card brand company), logistics/3PL operators, and national/local government agencies for disaster prevention deployments.
