What Hyper does
Hyper (株式会社ハイパー, TSE Standard ticker 3054) is a Japanese multi-vendor IT services company founded in 1990, headquartered in Tokyo with five branch offices across Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka). The company operates two principal business segments: an IT Services segment generating ¥12,505M in FY2025 through the sale of computer hardware, software, peripherals, network infrastructure, and related installation, configuration, maintenance, and helpdesk services delivered via dedicated "IT Concierge" staff; and an Askul Agent segment of ¥1,198M that resells office supplies, stationery, furniture, medical items, and MRO products to approximately 67,000 corporate customers, including through the Soloel Arena consolidated purchasing platform. Hyper serves approximately 19,000 corporate clients spanning SMEs and large enterprises, leveraging relationships with roughly 2,800 product manufacturers and 400 partner companies to offer vendor-neutral procurement and lifecycle management.
The company's technology stack combines a multi-vendor hardware/software procurement platform with proprietary service brands including Business Core NEXT (integrated DX support), Securitier (cybersecurity consulting and products), SaaS-Maru (Microsoft 365/Zoom contract management), and HYPER FACTORY (e-commerce). Recent product launches at Japan IT Week Spring 2026 added AI-themed offerings: Securitier EDR (AI-powered SOC-free endpoint detection), Secure Practices (role-playing security education), and Nareful Chat (enterprise ChatGPT solution), for which Hyper holds Gold Partner distribution rights. The company also maintains owned media properties HYPER VOiCE and Cloud Info Box for demand generation.
Hyper's go-to-market is primarily sales-led through field IT Concierge staff, complemented by channel distribution via Askul and direct e-commerce via HYPER FACTORY. Revenue is quote-based, transaction-heavy, and supplemented by recurring SaaS management fees. Group structure includes seven wholly-owned subsidiaries covering small business server sales (Re-stec), IT consulting (Multinet), systems development (Mebius), Askul agency (Justice), infrastructure services (Tsukasa Computer), social welfare (Mirakuru), and the merged Securitier brand. FY2025 consolidated revenue was ¥13,776M with operating profit of ¥320M and net profit of ¥241M.
