SYNCA

What SYNCA does

SYNCA Co., Ltd. (株式会社シンカ) is a privately held Japanese IT services provider headquartered in Nihonbashi-Odenmacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, founded in February 1991 and operating with approximately 40 employees. The company operates across four interconnected service lines: (1) contract system development, building web-based applications such as internet order/procurement systems, data browsing/search systems, and email distribution systems, with ongoing maintenance; (2) government bidding for central ministries and local municipalities, covering system development, maintenance, EUC tooling, and data entry; (3) personnel dispatch of security-trained engineers, help-desk and call-center staff; and (4) EUC tool creation using Excel macros, RPA, and BI tools to deliver cost-efficient workflow automation. Technically the work is built on conventional Java, C, and .NET stacks plus AWS/GCP cloud infrastructure, with no proprietary frameworks, patents, or packaged software product disclosed.

SYNCA targets two primary customer segments: enterprise clients requiring IT modernization, cloud migration, technical staffing, and operational efficiency; and government/public-sector agencies procuring IT services through public bidding. Pricing is project-scope based with multi-year contract cadence typical of its service lines; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct via field sales to enterprises and via competitive bid submissions to government, with all business concentrated in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The firm holds a labor dispatch business permit and P-Mark privacy certification, both of which are operational prerequisites for its staffing and government-bid revenue streams.

Revenues derive from professional services fees (custom development, government contracts), managed services (cloud operations), and personnel dispatch margins. There is no external institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue figure. Marketing is minimal — primarily a Japanese-language corporate website plus recruitment pages — consistent with a relationship-driven, bid-and-referral GTM rather than demand-gen. Ownership is concentrated with founding management under President and CEO Toshiaki Oshima (大島敏明).
