Aztecs

What Aztecs does

Aztecs (株式会社アズテックス) is a Tokyo-headquartered Japanese IT services group that operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (Aztecs System, Global Logic, Glory Information System) and regional offices in Nagoya and Fukuoka. The group delivers four solution lines: infrastructure (server, storage, network, and backup design and construction), system development (web, smartphone, social, and cloud-based applications), embedded control software for machines and devices, and cloud computing services. The primary go-to-market is a System Engineering Service (SES) model in which technical engineers are dispatched on contract to client sites; projects are complemented by end-to-end custom development and infrastructure buildouts executed jointly with the client. As of April 2026, the group employs 213 people (100 in the standalone entity, 34 individual business operators) with an average age of ~30.

Alongside services, Aztecs has commercialized three internally developed products—Cloud-based Reception Navi (an AI face-recognition reception, visitor management, and smart door-lock system), a Sales Activity Visualization System (hourly sales aggregation, 3-month forecasting, and gross-profit analytics), and an Employee Database (centralized employee records with photo directory and certificate generation). The company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification (J0358) and operates under Japanese worker dispatch and fee-based employment placement licenses. Customers span 70+ enterprise accounts across technology, automotive, e-commerce, infrastructure, and manufacturing (including SoftBank Technologies, DeNA, Rakuten, NEXCO, IBM Japan, Nippon Koei, Mitsui Kinzoku Engineering, Seino Solutions, Nittetsu Solutions, and Sky). Revenue is generated predominantly through professional-services billing (SES dispatch and project work) with limited recurring revenue from cloud-based product subscriptions; FY March 2025 group consolidated sales were ¥2,818,720,000 and standalone sales were ¥1,837,000,000.
