For the past 10 years, our company has been a pioneer in the nursing care industry in promoting the digital transformation (DX) of care operations. We support the introduction of generative AI in care settings, design task automation, and foster "capable human resources" to help drive DX across the entire nursing care industry. We were among the first to introduce generative AI tools tailored to care settings, enabling the automatic creation of care records, streamlining reporting and communication, and facilitating information sharing among staff. Last October, we entered into a strategic partnership with Horiemon AI School Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenjiro Araki) to open the 'Horiemon AI School Care Branch,' a franchise school specializing in the nursing care industry. Website: https://fc.horiemon.ai/kaigo Since our establishment, we have been continuously breaking records for sales and profits, with annual sales reaching 3.4 billion yen (FY2025 results). As of the end of February 2025, the number of employees reached 757 (an increase of 54 from the previous year), and our organization is expanding in line with our business growth. The foundation of this growth is our "people," and we are strengthening recruitment, training, and retention as a unified effort. We are particularly focused on recruiting IT talent with science backgrounds; this year's graduates come from the University of Nagasaki, Osaka University Graduate School (foreign national), Fukuoka University Graduate School, Hiroshima Institute of Technology Graduate School, and Soka University. We also hired 5 new graduates last year. Furthermore, we are committed to accepting foreign talent and creating a welcoming workplace, for which we received the 'Kagoshima Prefecture Governor's Award for Excellent Companies Accepting Foreign Human Resources' last year.
