What StellarLink does
StellarLink Corporation (株式会社ステラリンク) is a privately held Japanese IT solutions provider founded in July 2012 and headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, with a regional branch in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The company operates across four product pillars: content delivery services (StellarSign on-premise CMS, StellarSign CLOUD cloud-based digital signage management, TransAgent network-extension bridge, e-paper J-Poster and aecoPost signage in partnership with E Ink, and the Signage Robot autonomous mobile signage platform built with Smart Robotics); AI and robotics (AI Avatar STELLA, a ChatGPT-powered multilingual receptionist built on OpenAI, Google Translate, and LINE APIs, plus the SUPPOT material-handling robot distributed in partnership with Somic Transformation); cloud and SaaS services (Beslogi.com logistics freight calculation co-developed with Jemco Japan Management, StellarRobo low-code RPA, KenBuyMe Glory ticket-machine ordering, ReserveMe smart-lock reservation, ReBOX Y-shirt rental, and IctBPO IT outsourcing); and DX solutions including ERP rollouts (OBC, PCA, Rakuraku Meisai), BCP Okurenja, Hatarakikata Editor, content production, and contact-center services. The firm holds Privacy Mark certification and the consecutive-year Health Management Excellence recognition from METI.
StellarLink monetizes through a mix of subscription SaaS (StellarSign CLOUD, Beslogi.com), hardware resale and rental (SUPPOT, Signage Robot/AdRobot, J-Poster/aecoPost), professional and consulting services (DX consulting, content production, ERP implementation, ICT BPO), and education (Edge-AI Design Academy). Pricing is quote-based across virtually the entire catalogue; no public tiers are disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, anchored by a Tokyo enterprise sales team, a Sapporo presence, and channel partners including ELECOM (bundled hardware solutions), Macnica (AdRobot distribution), and Nikken Katagiri Lease (SUPPOT rental).
The customer base is distributed across Transportation & Logistics (Tsukuba Express), Retail & Hospitality (Otaru Aquarium), Construction & Manufacturing (Nikken Katagiri Lease), and Corporate & Public Sector (Ryusenji Temple, plus various office and retail deployments). With reported headcount of 1-10 employees, no disclosed revenue, no external funding rounds, no acquisition activity, and a strictly domestic Japanese footprint, StellarLink remains a small, founder-led specialist positioned to benefit from Japan's labor-shortage and DX-policy tailwinds.

StellarLink competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sharp Corporation (Sharp NEC Display Solutions): Sharp's display business (formerly Sharp NEC Display Solutions) is a major Japanese provider of digital signage hardware and integrated signage solutions. Comparable to StellarLink as a domestic competitor in signage, though Sharp operates at vastly larger scale across broader display categories.
- SoftBank Robotics: Developer of the Pepper humanoid service robot and other AI-driven customer-interaction robots. Comparable to StellarLink's AI Avatar STELLA and Signage Robot as a Japanese player building robots for enterprise reception and customer engagement, though at much larger scale.
- BayCurrent Inc. Leading Japanese strategy and DX consulting firm serving large enterprises on digital transformation initiatives. Comparable to StellarLink's DX consulting practice, though operating at much larger scale with a strong professional-services talent pool.
- Dai Nippon Printing (DNP): Major Japanese printing and information-services conglomerate with digital signage, environmental signage, and DX offerings. Comparable to StellarLink's e-paper and signage portfolio, with similar ESG/sustainability positioning but at substantially larger scale.
- Toppan Inc. Japanese printing and information-communications conglomerate with electronic-paper signage and digital signage offerings. Comparable to StellarLink's e-paper signage (J-Poster, aecoPost) and broader digital signage portfolio, though Toppan is a much larger diversified incumbent.
- Future Corporation: Major Japanese IT consulting and system integrator providing DX, ERP, and digital signage-adjacent solutions to enterprises. Comparable to StellarLink's DX Solutions / ERP / consulting practice, but at far greater scale and with a public-company balance sheet.
