EDIX

What EDIX does

EDIX is a privately held Japanese IT services company founded in July 2006 and headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo. The firm operates a five-line business portfolio spanning custom system development (requirements, design, programming, testing, and operational support in both resident and commissioned models), IT personnel introduction under the SES staffing model, proprietary product development (anchored by the CF Trainer cognitive function assessment system for elderly commercial drivers), technology research, and IT human resources training delivered through the proclimb programming school and the flap2world engineer community platform.

CF Trainer, developed in partnership with Trypro Co., Ltd. (株式会社トライプロ) and informed by collaborations with national universities and medical institutions, performs daily one-minute cognitive checks and detailed five-minute assessments for transportation and logistics operators (bus, taxi, truck), with the goal of detecting cognitive decline before it manifests in driving-related incidents. The proclimb school targets career changers with practical programming training that mirrors real workplace environments, while flap2world hosts monthly live workshops focused on data science, peer technical forums, and product development initiatives for engineers and creators.

EDIX monetizes primarily through project-based custom development engagements, monthly-billed SES engineer placements priced as a function of assigned engineer compensation, direct sales of CF Trainer to transportation operators, and tuition for proclimb training. The company is founder-led by Representative Director Yoshioka Yuichi (吉岡 悠一), holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 / JIS Q 27001:2023 certification, and operates with a 64-person workforce from a single Tokyo office under Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare permits for paid employment placement (License No. 13-ユー310129) and worker dispatching (License No. 派 13-314521).
