What Kreis does

Kreis (株式会社クライス) is a privately held Japanese IT services and consulting company headquartered in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, founded on April 1, 1998. The company operates four core product lines: (1) general IT services covering information systems planning, development, operation, maintenance, consulting, and SES staffing; (2) Web BJ, a proprietary JAVA source-code auto-generation platform delivered as a cloud service with claimed 30% cost reduction versus conventional development; (3) DX/Salesforce consulting and implementation targeting small-to-medium companies of 20-200 employees; and (4) insurance-industry specialized systems spanning life, non-life, and cooperative insurance. A notable sub-product is the Social Insurance Labor Consultant RPA Cloud (社労士RPAクラウド), a multi-tenant cloud RPA service built on AWS using Terilogy's EzAvater engine, with pre-built scenarios for labor and social insurance procedures priced from ¥50,000 setup and ¥30,000/month.

The underlying technology combines a proprietary low-code platform (Web BJ), cloud-based RPA automation (EzAvater on AWS), Salesforce CRM integration, and Vietnam offshore development for cost-competitive delivery. The company holds Japanese labor dispatch and fee-based employment placement permits, supporting its SES staffing operations. It also operates a Utsunomiya office in addition to its Tokyo headquarters. Named enterprise reference customers include Canon, OMRON, Metal One, MC Healthcare, AXA Financial Life, Allianz Fire & Marine Insurance, and Salesforce Japan.

Kreis generates revenue through a mix of project-based IT services and SES contracting, cloud subscriptions (Web BJ, RPA Cloud), Salesforce DX consulting, and insurance-industry system development. The firm employs 50 people as of its most recent profile disclosure and has grown its registered capital from ¥3M (1998) to ¥33.5M (June 2025) entirely through retained earnings. The company does not disclose revenue, has no external investors or venture backing, and is led by Representative Director Hoshi Fumihiko (星 文彦).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Rakuten (BizRobo): Japanese RPA vendor owned by Rakuten, one of the most widely deployed RPA platforms in Japan. Competes for the same enterprise RPA budgets Kreis targets with 社労士RPAクラウド, with stronger brand recognition and broader workflow library.
• Slalom: US-headquartered consultancy with a Japan presence and a Salesforce-focused delivery practice. Comparable as a Salesforce DX consulting peer competing for the same Japanese SMB/enterprise transformation engagements.
• UiPath Japan: Global RPA platform vendor with a Japanese operation selling directly to enterprise. Competes with Kreis's 社労士RPAクラウド at the platform layer, though Kreis differentiates via vertical-specialized scenarios for shakai-hoken workflows.

Broad incumbents

• NTT Data: Japan's largest SI firm, dominant in insurance core systems and RPA (via WinActor). Overlaps with Kreis across insurance vertical development, RPA tooling, and enterprise IT services — but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• BIPROGY: Major Japanese IT services firm (formerly Nihon Unisys) with deep enterprise and insurance-industry system development practices. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping system development, cloud, and consulting services to Japanese corporates.
• Future Corporation: Tokyo-headquartered IT consulting and systems integrator with comparable mid-market and enterprise IT services orientation. Competes for Japanese SMB DX and enterprise IT services budgets, particularly in financial services verticals.
• Accenture Japan: Global SI leader with a substantial Japanese insurance and Salesforce DX practice. Directly competes for the same enterprise Salesforce DX and insurance transformation budgets Kreis targets, but with vastly greater scale and global delivery capability.

Direct peers

• INTLOOP: Tokyo-based IT consulting and engineering staffing firm comparable in size (~similar employee scale) and customer mix (mid-market Japanese enterprises). Listed as a Kreis customer, confirming near-identical go-to-market profile in enterprise IT services and SES.
• OBC (Osaka Boeki Computer): Japanese SMB-focused IT/ERP and business software provider. Comparable as a mid-market Japanese software and IT services firm targeting the same 20–200 employee SMB segment Kreis addresses with Salesforce DX and RPA cloud offerings.

Others

• Terilogy: Technology partner of Kreis and vendor of the EzAvater RPA engine that powers 社労士RPAクラウド. Included as an ecosystem/technology peer given the strategic dependency of Kreis's flagship RPA product on Terilogy's platform.
