What PC Connect does

PC Connect (株式会社ピーシーコネクト) is a privately held Japanese software company founded in March 2000 and headquartered in Osaka, with a nationwide customer base concentrated in the residential and commercial real estate agency segment. The company develops and sells floor plan and real estate workflow software under the Madori Cloud, Hinagata Bank21, and F-map brands, and additionally operates a DX (digital transformation) training business for real estate professionals. Its flagship product, Madori Cloud, is a Windows desktop application for floor plan drawing that supports multi-story buildings (basement 3 to 10F), offers 390+ floor texture combinations, and includes AI-powered floor plan image recognition (AI間取り) that auto-generates 80-90% of floor plan data in approximately 10 seconds from imported images. Hinagata Bank21 is an Excel-based template tool for creating sales/distribution drawings, flyers, and property advertisements, while F-map provides copyright-licensed map imagery for print and web real estate advertising with authorization numbers suitable for REINS registration.

PC Connect monetizes through a hybrid model: one-time perpetual licenses for the Basic Plan (¥39,800) and Hinagata Bank21 (¥19,800), a subscription Business Plan (¥29,800 initial + ¥1,500/month) that unlocks advanced rendering, multi-seat usage, and a bundled Hinagata Bank21 license, usage-based map credit purchases and subscriptions for F-map, and per-course fees (¥24,200–¥165,000) for the DX training business. Distribution is primarily direct — website ordering, inside sales via phone, and self-serve download for trials — supplemented by referral traffic from three major real estate industry associations (Osaka Prefecture Real Estate Association, All Japan Real Estate Association, and National Association of Rental Property Management). The company has reached 30,000+ cumulative company installations across the Madori Cloud product series and self-describes as the share-leading floor plan creation software in Japan. Leadership consists of Representative Director Takemoto Mitsuaki (武本光明); the company is founder-owned with ¥50,000,000 in registered capital, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity in the available record.

Core offering

PC Connect develops and sells Windows-based real estate floor plan creation software (間取りクラウド / Madori Cloud) with AI-powered image recognition, an Excel-based sales/distribution diagram software (ひな形Bank21 / Hinagata Bank21), a copyright-licensed map service (F-map) for real estate advertising, and DX (Digital Transformation) e-learning training courses targeted at Japanese real estate professionals. Products are sold via perpetual license, monthly subscription, and usage-based credit models.

Product overview

PC Connect (株式会社ピーシーコネクト) offers a suite of real estate software and services built around floor plan creation and document production. The core product portfolio consists of three main software solutions: 間取りクラウド, a Windows-based floor plan drawing application with AI-powered image recognition capabilities; ひな形Bank21, an Excel-based template system for creating sales/distribution drawings, flyers, and real estate documents; and F-map, a copyright-licensed map service for property advertisements and REINS registration. 間取りクラウド is offered in two plans—Basic (one-time purchase ¥39,800, no monthly fee) and Business (¥29,800 + ¥1,500/month with advanced features like gradient rendering, SVG export, and extended floor support). The three products are designed to work together: 間取りクラウド produces the floor plan drawings which can then be imported into ひな形Bank21 for marketing materials, while F-map provides licensed map imagery for property listings. The company also operates a DX training business offering e-learning courses for digital transformation, AI utilization, real estate industry skills, and management training.

Direct peers

• Cedreo: Cloud-based floor plan and 3D home design software purpose-built for home builders, remodelers, and real estate professionals. Closely comparable to PC Connect's real estate vertical focus and supports the listing/marketing workflow that ひな形Bank21 also targets.
• MagicPlan: Mobile-first floor plan creation app that lets users scan rooms with a smartphone camera and generate editable 2D/3D plans. Directly competes with 間取りクラウド on the core activity of producing real estate floor plans, but delivers via mobile rather than Windows desktop.
• RoomSketcher: Web- and app-based floor plan and home design software used by real estate professionals and homeowners. Competes with PC Connect on floor plan creation, with a more cloud-native delivery model and broad international reach.
• いえらぶCLOUD (iela Cloud): Japanese real estate vertical cloud platform for agencies covering CRM, property listings, and website generation. Targets the same Japanese real estate agent customer base as PC Connect and competes for the workflow software budget, though with a broader CRM rather than floor-plan-first focus.
• FloorPlanner.com: Online floor plan creation and visualization tool serving real estate agents, property managers, and home design enthusiasts. Directly competes on the same core use case as 間取りクラウド, delivered via browser rather than Windows desktop.
• Planner 5D: Cross-platform (web, iOS, Android, desktop) 2D/3D floor plan and interior design tool with rendering and AI-assisted features. Overlaps with PC Connect on floor plan creation and realistic rendering, but offers a broader consumer/prosumer user base.

Regional players

• ITANDI: Japanese real estate tech company offering ITANDI BB for electronic contracts, tenant screening, and rental management workflows. Adjacent to PC Connect's real estate workflow focus, serving Japanese property managers and agencies with cloud-native tools.

Broad incumbents

• LIFULL: Operator of Japan's largest real estate portal LIFULL HOME'S and a broader group of real estate tech and senior-care services. Overlaps with PC Connect on serving Japanese real estate professionals but as a broad portal/incumbent, not specializing in floor plan software.
• SUUMO (Recruit): Japan's largest real estate listing portal operated by Recruit. Touches the same Japanese real estate marketing workflow as PC Connect (listings, maps, floor plans) but as part of a much broader portal business rather than a specialized software vendor.

Emerging players

• SmartDraw: General-purpose diagramming and floor plan software with templates for real estate, facilities, and architecture. Competes with 間取りクラウド on floor plan drafting for non-CAD users, though with a less real estate-vertical-specialized product focus.
