Kozocom Vietnam

What Kozocom Vietnam does

Kozocom Vietnam Co., Ltd. is the Vietnam delivery entity of Kozocom, Inc., a privately-held IT development services group with Japanese parentage and primary operations in Da Nang. The company was originally founded in Japan in 2006 (Tokyo office opened 2008) and expanded into Vietnam starting in 2018 with the IOT Space facility in Da Nang, followed by the Kozocom Riverside Building (2020) and Phi Long and SHB Buildings (2022). Its stated headcount is 100+ members across these offices, with a publicly disclosed management layer including CEO Kei Hiramatsu, COO Nguyen Tuan Anh, CPO Le Quoc Huy, CTO Nguyen Duc Xinh, and functional managers covering backend, frontend, QC, infrastructure, and a dedicated Comtor (bilingual interpretation) function.

The company's offering is organized around four service verticals: Web System development (LEMP/Laravel stack), Mobile App development (React Native cross-platform), Blockchain development, and AI/ML development. Its underlying technology includes a proprietary AWS EC2 AMI pre-configured with Ubuntu 22.04, Nginx, PHP 8.2, MySQL 8.0, and Laravel 10, alongside documented expertise in WebSocket real-time communication, Docker containerization, and Laravel Queue systems. Notable client-built assets include Sumajob (a 24/7 staffing platform serving 700,000 users for Entry Co., Ltd.), Gomi.Tokyo (a waste collection platform for 3,000 Tokyo facilities used by Shirai Group), and PICKFLIP (an RFID-based smart waste management system endorsed by the Tokyo Bureau of Environment).

Kozocom generates revenue through project-based and Lab-model outsourced IT development engagements with Japanese enterprises, billed via direct enterprise sales through its Tokyo office. The company does not sell packaged SaaS products or operate self-serve channels; instead it builds dedicated development teams for clients under long-term arrangements that treat Vietnamese engineers as equivalent to the Japanese client's in-house staff. Customer acquisition is primarily content-driven through a public technical blog and case studies, and pricing is quote-based and project-specific rather than publicly disclosed.
