What Qunie does

Fortience Consulting Inc. (formerly Qunie, rebranded October 1, 2025) is a Japan-based management consulting firm operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Data Group. The firm delivers enterprise consulting engagements — from strategy formulation through execution support — across eight primary verticals: Manufacturing, Consumer Products, Retail and Distribution, Telecommunications and Media, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Financial Services, Public Sector, and cross-industry enterprise services. Its stated service catalog spans business strategy, digital transformation (DX), new business development, global strategy, organizational and talent transformation, financial management, CX, supply chain management (SCM/S&OP), logistics, procurement, PLM, CPS, enterprise solutions, information strategy, security management, and infrastructure consulting.

The firm is built around a headcount of approximately 1,200 business consultants with deep operational expertise, primarily serving clients in Japan with expansion across the broader Asia Pacific region. Following its 2025 rebrand, Fortience has elevated AI Transformation as a flagship service line, positioning itself around maximizing AI potential through high collaboration between AI and humans, and supporting use cases such as generative SCM, AI-driven financial management, supplier risk management on Dynamics 365, and AI applications in pharmaceutical R&D. Named client work includes deployment of a global talent database ('DAIKIN People') for Daikin.

The business model is professional services delivered via direct enterprise field sales. Pricing is custom per engagement based on scope, team composition, and duration, with multi-year contracts typical. The go-to-market is concentrated on business leaders and transformation executives. The firm supplements direct sales with a content-and-event marketing engine — consultant-authored articles, research reports, seminars, LinkedIn, and YouTube — and launched a dedicated SCM media property, re:Question, in June 2026 to extend brand reach beyond direct consulting channels.

Core offering

Qunie (now Fortience Consulting Inc.) is a management consulting firm that delivers enterprise advisory and execution services across business strategy, DX/digital transformation, AI Transformation, supply chain management, organizational and talent transformation, and global expansion. Operating as a subsidiary of NTT DATA Group, the firm serves enterprise clients primarily in Japan and Asia Pacific through direct, custom-priced consulting engagements spanning strategy formulation through implementation support.

Product overview

Qunie (now フォーティエンスコンサルティング株式会社 / Fortience Consulting Inc.) is a consulting services firm within the NTT DATA group offering AI Transformation and DX consulting services. Rather than a unified software platform, the company provides a portfolio of consulting service offerings organized by industry (Manufacturing, Consumer Products, Retail, Healthcare, Financial Services, Public Sector, Life Sciences) and service type (Business Strategy, DX, Business Transformation, SCM/S&OP, Enterprise Solutions, Security Management). The AI Transformation service offering focuses on maximizing AI potential and creating new value through human-AI collaboration, but this represents a consulting engagement model rather than a distinct software product. The company operates as a business transformation partner, supporting strategy development through execution.
