C-RISE

What C-RISE does

C-RISE Co., Ltd. (株式会社C-RISE) is a privately held Japanese IT firm headquartered in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, operating since 1998 with a team of 1–10 employees. The company builds and operates Cloud BOT (クラウドBOT), a cloud-native, no-code browser automation platform that records browser operations as procedures and executes them via direct run, scheduled run, or API call. By enabling non-programmers to combine disparate web services into automated workflows, Cloud BOT targets a horizontal customer base of businesses seeking to eliminate repetitive browser-based tasks and integrate web services without custom engineering.

The platform is delivered as a self-serve SaaS product via the C-RISE website, supplemented by direct enterprise engagement for tailored implementations. Revenue is generated through subscription/usage-based access to Cloud BOT, though specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is positioned as globally accessible through the website, while operating geography is concentrated in Asia. The company's go-to-market relies on industry event participation (e.g., Cybozu Days 2025, e-messe kanazawa), content presence via the corporate site, and earned media coverage. It maintains a partner relationship with Ricoh and has built a compliance posture with ISO/IEC 27001 (2021), ISO/IEC 27017 (2025), and ISO/IEC 27701 (2025) certifications, positioning the platform for enterprise and PII-sensitive workloads.

Direct peers

• Workato: Enterprise iPaaS and automation platform offering cloud-based workflow automation with API-driven execution, overlapping with Cloud BOT's API execution and integration capabilities at a higher enterprise tier.
• Zapier: No-code workflow automation platform that connects web apps and triggers actions on schedules, APIs, or events; directly analogous to Cloud BOT's no-code browser-automation value proposition for non-technical users.
• Make (Integromat): Visual no-code automation platform enabling users to chain web services and APIs without programming, mirroring Cloud BOT's "combine web services without programming" core pitch.

Broad incumbents

• Automation Anywhere: Enterprise RPA platform providing cloud-based browser automation comparable to Cloud BOT, serving mid-market and enterprise customers globally.
• UiPath: Global RPA leader offering browser- and desktop-automation capabilities; competes head-on with Cloud BOT in the no-code/low-code workflow automation category but at significantly greater scale and enterprise focus.
• ServiceNow Workflow Automation: Enterprise platform providing workflow and integration automation including browser-based tasks; competes in the same enterprise automation category as Cloud BOT at much larger scale.
• Blue Prism: Established enterprise RPA platform offering attended and unattended browser automation similar to Cloud BOT, targeting regulated industries where C-RISE's ISO certifications also compete.
• Microsoft Power Automate: Cloud automation platform bundled into Microsoft 365, offering browser flow automation comparable to Cloud BOT but with vastly broader integration, distribution, and pricing leverage.

Regional players

• Cybozu kintone: Japanese no-code business application platform frequently co-marketed alongside C-RISE (Cybozu Days partner); serves the same Japanese SMB digitization buyer and could complement or compete with Cloud BOT depending on use case.

Emerging players

• Robotic Crowd: Japan-based cloud RPA service offering browser automation in the cloud with similar no-code positioning to Cloud BOT; the closest direct regional competitor in the Japanese market.
