Aiming to build long-lasting relationships with customers through accompanying services specializing in the manufacturing industry
Since the company's founding in 1984, Armonicos has been involved in the development of mathematics-based software and has achieved steady growth. We realize that we owe much of our success to the support of our customers and partners.
We take pride in the fact that we have been able to maintain stable operations for over 40 years since the company was founded due to our continuous effort to stand by our customers and giving our all to solve their problems, based on our philosophy of "Reliability, Integrity, and Gratitude".
Since then, we have built up a proven track record as a technical software house based on our mission to “contribute to the economic development of the entire world through our core competence in 3D shape processing software technology”.
Our company is characterized by the following four points:
(1) we engage in mathematics-based technical software development,
(2) we do not dispatch personnel but rather continue to accumulate developed technical assets,
(3) we effectively utilize technical assets as a package manufacturer focusing on "the exclusive contract based development-driven management" that provides this system to customers, and
(4) as an independent company, we make proposals to clients from a neutral standpoint.
By leveraging these strengths, we have differentiated ourselves from our competitors by working to create new ideas and values. We have developed our business with two main pillars, namely the development based on the exclusive contract and package development. Our goal is to accompany our customers to solve their problems and share their success. To view even the most trivial problems as challenges that we must solve, and to put our hearts and souls into our work. We aim to build a relationship of reliability with our customers through such practices and to maintain a long-lasting relationship with them.
We will continue to bring together the cutting-edge technology and knowledge we have cultivated through the development based on the exclusive contract to produce packaged products and provide new value to as many customers as possible.
In recent years, the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry has changed considerably. Therefore, it has become difficult to solve problems using the traditional “waterfall-type” development method. In response, we have actively adopted an “agile-type” development method to flexibly and speedily respond to the changing needs of our customers.
In this age of uncertainty, it is necessary to flexibly change and evolve not only the approach to development, but also the goal, depending on each situation. In order to put this into practice, we propose PoC (proof-of-concept) projects to our customers, and we ensure that our employees will always “challenge” to work on issues, even if it may not be possible, to lead to development contracts. We are also committed to eliminating the “fear of not being able to do something,” and to maintaining our willingness to take on the challenge of creating new value with the “joy of taking on challenges” in our hearts.
As a company that possesses the three qualities of “the ability to challenge and have fun with something that does not yet exist in the world,” “the ability to read and understand research papers,” and “mathematical ability," there are many issues within the manufacturing industry that only we can solve. Based on this belief, our mission is to continue to produce deliverables that exceed our clients' expectations under the slogan "Something Special".
Pursuing cutting-edge technology
in order to lead all of our customers to success
One of the current challenges in Japan is to achieve carbon neutrality. As a company committed to solving issues in the manufacturing industry, we take this challenge seriously and hope to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by helping to streamline the manufacturing process. At the same time, we have set an ideal vision of a “strong and resilient company” as our goal in order to remain a sustainable company. We will continue to cultivate a strong and resilient corporate structure that will enable us to sustain and develop our business under any circumstance.
Meanwhile, internally, we will focus on fostering a culture in which employees are able to feel a continuous sense of growth, creating a workplace in which all employees can work comfortably, and we will promote the development of a workplace environment in which women play an active role and shortening work hours. Furthermore, we intend to establish a reemployment system that allows employees to work energetically even after retirement, and to foster an organizational climate in which diverse human resources can fully demonstrate their abilities.
Based on this outlook, we have renewed our philosophy in our 40th year in business and have taken the first step toward the next stage. Under our new philosophy to "guide all customers to success and contribute to the building of a bright and prosperous society through the pursuit and utilization of cutting-edge technology," we will persistently delve into technology and maintain our position as a technology software house that lives up to the reliability of our customers.
The value of our company's existence lies in the high expectation and reliability that "if you consult with Armonicos, you will always get a solution". We take pride in the fact that we are first-class engineers. We will meet the expectations of our customers with the same meticulous attention to detail as a tailor who produces custom-made, high-end men's clothing. We also aim for further development as a company by creating things that do not exist in the world.
CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY
Guide all customers to success
and contribute to the building of a bright
and prosperous society through the pursuit
and utilization of cutting-edge technology
The three philosophies that has raised by Armonicos up to now,
“Reliability” not just “Credibility”
“Integrity” surpassing “Honesty”
“Gratitude” beyond “Understanding”
We will continue to uphold our corporate culture of valuing these.
