What Its Corporation does

Its Corporation (株式会社イッツコーポレーション) is a privately held Japanese software development company founded on March 12, 2002 in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, with registered capital of 30 million JPY and led by Representative Director 鹿島正明 (Kashima Masaaki). The company builds industry-specific traceability and supply chain management software, B2B order management systems, and RFID-enabled medical management products, serving food manufacturers and distributors, automotive/industrial parts makers, fertility treatment clinics, and B2B wholesalers in Japan.

The core product portfolio comprises five vertical traceability systems — rice flour, eggs, noodles, produce, and parts manufacturing — delivered as an SCM-integrated platform; Stork Navigator®, an RFID-based frozen specimen management system for IVF clinics built around the proprietary 77KTAG tag rated for -196°C liquid nitrogen operation; i-ORDER, a B2B internet order management system; and icWare, a line of RFID-tag-embedded tableware. Its technology foundation rests on proprietary RFID engineering, including ISO15693-compliant 13.56MHz tags and tags sealed within molded plastic resin that tolerate up to 200°C, chemical exposure, and commercial dishwashing. Its Corporation was the first in Japan to commercialize an egg traceability system aligned with MAFF guidelines and has developed its solutions jointly with industry partners such as grinding-machine manufacturers (rice flour) and food-machinery OEMs (noodles).

The company monetizes through on-premise software sales, ASP/cloud subscriptions, custom development projects, and OEM/white-label distribution (e.g., the noodle traceability system delivered through Tom). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and sales are routed through inquiry-based contact forms, suggesting project-based enterprise contracts rather than self-serve SaaS. Marketing is conducted via the corporate website and industry trade shows, with Stork Navigator promoted at Japanese reproductive medicine and IVF society conferences. Its Corporation operates with no disclosed external investors, no public revenue figures, and no public headcount; latest visible corporate activity in the input data is from 2018.

Others

• Fujitsu Limited: Global Japanese IT and services conglomerate with established food traceability, SCM, and manufacturing ERP solutions targeting Japanese enterprises; competes in the same buyer accounts as Its Corporation but as a full-stack systems integrator.
• NTT DATA Group Corporation: Japan's largest IT services group, providing enterprise SCM/ERP, supply chain integration, and large-scale traceability consulting to food and manufacturing clients; competes for the same Japanese enterprise wallet as Its Corporation via much broader service offerings.
• CipherLab Co., Ltd. Asian-headquartered manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, barcode scanners and RFID readers used in warehouses, retail and manufacturing; overlaps with Its Corporation's hardware ecosystem that underpins its traceability deployments.

Direct peers

Broad incumbents

• Zebra Technologies Corporation: Global leader in enterprise asset intelligence, RFID, barcode scanning and visibility solutions; comparable because it sells RFID-anchored traceability systems to manufacturing, food and healthcare verticals similar to Its Corporation's customer base.
• Toppan Inc. Large Japanese printing and digital solutions group that offers food traceability, RFID inlays, and SCM platforms; comparable because it competes directly in Japan for traceability mandates from food manufacturers and government entities, but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• DENSO WAVE Incorporated: Japanese manufacturer of QR codes, barcode readers, and RFID hardware serving factory automation and SCM; offers specialized RFID products analogous to Its Corporation's 77KTAG extreme-environment tag, but operates globally at parent DENSO scale.
• Avery Dennison Corporation: Major global supplier of RFID inlays, labels, and intelligent label solutions with adjacent software offerings for retail and supply chain traceability; competes with Its Corporation's icWare embedded-RFID approach from a far larger industrial base.

Emerging players

• Mojix Inc. US-based provider of RFID, BLE, and IoT-based supply chain visibility platforms for retail, manufacturing and food; comparable to Its Corporation's industry-specific traceability systems in applying next-generation RFID/IoT to SCM use cases.
• TraceLink Inc. US-based software company focused on pharma and life-sciences serialization and traceability, with extensions into food; comparable to Its Corporation's Stork Navigator in applying serialized tracking to regulated medical/life-sciences workflows from a SaaS-first model.
