Seppia

What Seppia does

Seppia is a Tokyo-based no-code SaaS startup, founded in September 2021, that builds custom business management systems for Japanese small and medium enterprises (SMBs) struggling with Excel-based workflows. Co-founded by Haru Fukasawa (深澤 晴, CEO) and Kouki Matsuda (松田 洸樹, CTO), both formerly of hokan Inc. (株式会社hokan), the company explicitly targets what it terms Japan's 'IT gap' (IT格差) — companies with low IT literacy that are underserved by commissioned development, consulting, or rigid industry-specific software. The two disclosed customer implementations illustrate the range of use cases: an industrial waste management company (産廃業A社様) deployed a 20-user, 45-page core system with a ¥1.5M initial cost to consolidate scattered Excel inputs and enable real-time mobile data access, while a childcare services company (保育事業B社様) deployed a 4-user, 4-page document generation system with a ¥400K initial cost that reduced monthly report creation from one full person-month to a single click.

The core product is a no-code platform composed of pre-built functional parts that are combined into customer-specific management systems. Seppia handles all construction and configuration after a 30-minute consultation, produces custom screen mockups within three business days before contract signing, and supports data input from PC, smartphone, and tablet, output to PDFs and Excel, and integration with external company systems. Use cases enumerated by the company span sales, management/executive, HR and general affairs, IT, accounting/finance, company-wide communications, production/operations, and document creation. There are no public AI/ML capabilities, APIs, SDKs, or patents disclosed in the input, and the platform is positioned as a configuration tool rather than an intelligent automation layer.

Seppia operates a sales-led, one-time fee model with four publicly disclosed pricing tiers: ¥50,000 for a single-sheet Excel systemization, ¥100,000 for graphs and reports, ¥200,000 for multi-sheet integration, and custom quotes for multi-functional core systems. The go-to-market is a four-step direct sales process — email inquiry, consultation via Zoom or in-person, custom screen creation, and formal quotation — with no charge until contract signing. The company appeared on the YouTube investment program Reiwa no Tora (令和の虎), where it received a complete all-in (完全ALL) commitment, and reports that the appearance generated multiple inbound customer inquiries progressing toward implementation.
