AMANE LTD

What AMANE LTD does

AMANE LTD (株式会社AMANE) is a Tokyo-headquartered urbantech consulting and mobility solutions provider founded in January 2019 by Keizo Inoue. The company operates across two complementary lines: urbantech business development consulting and proprietary product development. Its consulting practice delivers end-to-end support covering research, business co-creation, service development, system development, and spatial design for clients developing new mobility businesses, with a particular focus on EV adoption, MaaS, autonomous driving, and mobility hub construction. Clients span Japanese transportation operators (Osaka Metro, JR East), energy companies (Kyushu Electric Power, ENEOS), automotive manufacturers (Nissan, Suzuki), local governments (Sakai City, Chiba City, Saitama City), insurers (Sompo Japan), and system integrators (NTT Data). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by extensive co-marketing with strategic partners.

AMANE's proprietary technology stack centers on three assets. First, e-mobilog, an EV/PHEV fleet data management system co-developed with Zenrin Datacom and offered as SDK or SaaS, which collects battery SOC, SOH, driving range, charging status, fault data, and CO2 emissions via OBD-II/CAN terminals, and uniquely integrates Nissan's Biz Connect API for direct OEM telematics from Leaf (2021+) and Sakura vehicles. Second, GeoRoost, a no-code geospatial analysis tool supporting population extraction, share-cycle visualization, and coordinate transformation, with LLM-chatbot functionality in development. Third, the company's self-operated mobility hubs — including Omiya Platto in Saitama City operated with ENEOS and OpenStreet, and Senboku Platto, a three-location demonstration in Sakai City — that integrate multiple transportation services (shared cycles, on-demand buses, pedestrian mobility rentals) with lifestyle vendors under a single physical and digital platform. The robotaxi mobility hub space management platform, demonstrated in Kyoto and Ibaraki under METI funding with TIER IV, layers AI-based object detection and generative-AI conversational UI onto the hub concept.

The business model combines project-based professional services with productized recurring-revenue streams and managed mobility hub operations. Consulting revenue is generated through discrete project engagements with major enterprises and municipalities; e-mobilog is sold under monthly SaaS or SDK subscription terms priced by fleet size (quote-based, not publicly disclosed); GeoRoost is currently in free beta with a planned Pro tier; and mobility hub operations generate revenue through coordination of third-party service providers and platform fees. Pricing is opaque across all streams, reflecting the enterprise sales motion. AMANE is privately held, founder-financed with stated capital of JPY 1,000 thousand, and reports no external funding rounds. As of April 2024 the company had 11 employees across Tokyo headquarters and a Kobe regional office.

Core offering

AMANE provides urban tech (アーバンテック) business development consulting focused on the mobility sector, supporting enterprises and municipalities with strategy, service development, system development, and spatial design. The company also develops and sells proprietary software products—e-mobilog® (an EV/PHEV fleet data management platform offered as SaaS or SDK) and GeoRoost (a no-code geospatial analysis tool)—and self-operates mobility hubs such as Omiya Platto.

Product overview

AMANE LTD operates two core software products: e-mobilog® (an EV/PHEV fleet data management system co-developed with Zenrin DataCom, provided as SaaS or SDK) and GeoRoost (a no-code geographic spatial analysis tool in beta). These are complemented by a suite of professional services — mobility hub development support, transportation data analytics, autonomous driving introduction support, and in-house developed apps such as the circular revitalization location-based app and self-operated mobility hub Omiya Platto. The two software products serve distinct but complementary roles: e-mobilog manages vehicle-level operational data (SOC, SOH, charging, CO2, location) while GeoRoost processes and visualizes area-level geospatial data (population, transit networks, facility locations) for planning and analysis purposes.
