What Wisdom does

Wisdom (株式会社ウィズダム) is a privately held Japanese IT services company founded October 1, 1990, headquartered in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. The company operates three business lines: (1) custom software development across business systems, control systems (aviation, satellite, vending machines), mobile applications (Android, iOS), and Pepper robot applications; (2) two proprietary software products, Himawari — a bed control system for nursing care facilities handling reservations, resident records, bathing/transportation scheduling, and care manager coordination via PC and smartphone — and Pick up — a Windows-based database universal search tool targeting users between Excel and Access skill levels; and (3) corporate programming training for new engineer hires, with published per-person pricing on Java basics (62,000 yen for 8 sessions) and Spring Framework web application development (197,000 yen for 16 sessions).

The company's revenue mechanics span subscription/recurring licensing for Himawari, one-time licensing for Pick up, project-based professional services for custom development, and unit-priced training delivery. Go-to-market is predominantly direct — website inquiry forms, phone-based sales, and trade show presence at CareTEX365 — supplemented by a single channel partnership with Public Relations Co., Ltd. (株式会社パブリックリレーションズ) for Himawari distribution signed in May 2009. Customer segmentation is dual-track: a vertical focus on Japanese nursing care facilities (special elderly nursing homes and short-stay services) and a horizontal custom development practice serving telecom, infrastructure, manufacturing, construction, leasing, and supply chain enterprises. The company is privately held with JPY 10 million in registered capital, no disclosed external investors or parent, a four-director/one-auditor board, and operates primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Leadership transitioned in February 2025 when Oishi Yuji succeeded Saikawa Jiro as Representative Director and President.
