PROCODES

What PROCODES does

PROCODES Co., Ltd. (株式会社プロコード) is a privately held Japanese IT services company founded in September 1988 and headquartered in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, with approximately 45 employees. The company operates in three service lines: a proprietary cloud product family branded UBBUX (spanning sales-force automation, IoT-based production visualization, order, production, sales, customer, and warehouse management, plus cloud system construction), custom system development for public-sector, manufacturing, and distribution clients, and ISO27001-certified security operations/monitoring services. It also acts as an accredited IT Introduction Support Business Operator under the METI IT Subsidy program, channeling qualifying UBBUX products to SME customers with up to ¥1 million in government subsidy covering two-thirds of introduction cost.

The company reaches customers through direct enterprise sales, self-service cloud delivery for UBBUX SMB products, trade-show participation (Gunma Monozukuri Fair, International Robot Exhibition), and earned media (Jomo Newspaper coverage). Named case-study customers include 株式会社SUBARU スバル部品センター, 株式会社土屋合成, 東京情報システム株式会社, 株式会社電池屋, and an anonymized precision forging enterprise (I社). The current corporate entity was formed through the October 2019 merger of Tom's System Co., Ltd. with Tubasa Joho Co., Ltd., followed by an August 2020 merger with Admi Service Co., Ltd. In November 2023, PROCODES closed its Tokyo branch and completed a transition to full telework as part of management rationalization.

Revenue is generated from cloud subscriptions on the UBBUX platform, one-off custom system development projects, managed security operations, and IT-subsidy application support services. PROCODES holds ISO9001 (since 2001) and ISO27001 (since 2011) certifications, was certified as a Health Management Excellence Corporation 2022 by METI and the Japan Health Council, and is privately held with registered capital of ¥30 million and no disclosed external institutional investors.
