ServicesSERVICES
We build software with the discipline of watching over.
And we bring the platforms that discipline produced into your project.
ServicesTHREE OF THEM
All three grew out of one discipline — watching over.
The engines are already built — we do not charge you for them again.What we quote for is the part we build for you.
01
Contract development, AI-driven
AI駆動開発による受託開発
Outsourcing the work does not mean outsourcing the judgement.
- End-to-end on the TKS-SDD platform, from requirements definition to maintenance
- Including work in the production environment where the job needs it — we see it through
- Starting from your ideas and your first outline, AI produces each phase’s artefact — from the requirements document through to the implementation — and verifies it
- At every gate a person reviews; nothing moves to the next phase until they approve
- New builds and maintenance take the same route
02
AI Agent
AIエージェント
The agent platform is already ours and already running. What we fit is the part specific to your operations.
- Configured per business area — back office, accounting, finance, marketing, customer support
- Not a new build. Your operations are fitted into an existing platform, so it starts quickly
- Accuracy is tuned per project, against your own data and your own standard
- Answers come with their grounds. A question it cannot answer with confidence goes to a person, not to a guess
How the work splits: agent / person
What the agent does
- Answers with grounds, from your internal rules, FAQs and forms as its knowledge base
- Looks up the data, computes it against your business rules, and hands the prepared result to your staff
- Keeps a history of answers and actions you can review later
What a person does
- The final judgement and the approval stay with you
- Anything written back goes through your own API. We do not build a side door
- A question it cannot answer with confidence goes to a person, not to a guess
- We do not promise a numerical accuracy figure
03
Safety-monitoring platform
見守り・安否確認基盤
Put your organisation in a position to answer “is everyone accounted for” — with evidence.
There are many safety-confirmation packages. If your requirements fit one, that route is faster and cheaper. People come to TKS when they do not fit.
- At its core the platform holds the state of each subject over time. Position is one of the inputs that updates that state
- Not only people. A person carrying a phone, an object or a pet wearing a Bluetooth tag, an asset or vehicle carrying a GPS unit — three mechanisms
- That is why safety confirmation, attendance, access control and logistics fleet tracking all run on the same platform. It is not something that sits idle waiting for a disaster
- An emergency alert does not depend on one route. Alongside the ordinary push notification, a route through the operating system’s channel for calling apps makes the phone ring even if the app was closed, and SMS carries the alert when data networks are congested
- The location-tracking layer started from a proven open-source implementation. The safety-monitoring layer above it was developed in-house by TKS, and has been improved continuously since
In detailTHE THREE SERVICES
01 Contract development, AI-driven＋
PROBLEM
- You outsourced, and the requirement did not arrive the way you sent it
- Quality depends on who happened to be assigned, and varies from project to project
- AI-assisted development interests you, but it is unclear who guarantees the output and how
WHAT WE HAVE
- End-to-end on the TKS-SDD platform, from requirements definition to maintenance
- Standardised from the specification outward, so quality depends less on who is assigned
- An evaluation gate at every phase. At every phase AI implements and verifies; at every gate a person reviews and approves
- The specification itself becomes the maintenance documentation
- New builds and maintenance take the same route
WHAT WE CONFIGURE
- The contract type — deliverable-based, lab, or unit-rate
- The technology stack — we start from what fits your existing systems
- Meeting cadence and reporting format
- Release procedure and environment separation policy
HOW WE START
- SPECIFY — turn requirements into a structured specification. A human review is mandatory, which fixes the starting point
- PLAN — break the specification into tasks and choose the technology. AI assists; people decide
- IMPLEMENT — generate and verify code against the specification
- MAINTAIN — through the same process and the same gates
02 AI Agent＋
PROBLEM
- Your team writes the same answer to the same kind of question, over and over
- Enquiries outside business hours go unanswered
- You have looked at AI, but stopped at the worry that it will answer wrongly and sound certain
WHAT WE HAVE
- Interpret the question and search the knowledge base
- Show the source passage the answer came from, next to the answer
- Hand over to a person when confidence falls below the threshold
- Keep a record of every conversation, reviewable afterwards
- Change the business area by configuration — no rebuild
WHAT WE CONFIGURE
- The knowledge base — internal rules, FAQ, forms, manuals
- Channels — web, LINE, Teams, email
- The hand-over threshold, and who it hands over to
- Tone and forms of address
- The language it answers in
HOW WE START
- PoC (within a month) — prove it understands your domain
- Load the knowledge base — sort and classify the documents
- Tune the threshold — test with real questions
- Open it up in stages — internal first, customers after
03 Safety-monitoring platform＋
PROBLEM
- When something happens, you cannot see quickly who is safe and who has not been reached
- Notifications go out, but there is no way to tell whether they were seen
- Following up on people who did not reply depends on one person remembering to do it
- Afterwards, you cannot account for who was reached, who answered, and what was done about the rest
WHAT WE HAVE
- At the core, the platform tracks the state of whatever is being watched over, continuously
- Position (GPS and Bluetooth) is one of the inputs it reads
- Receive an external alert and send it out automatically by your distribution rules
- Separate routes at once. The route through the operating system’s channel for calling apps rings even if the app was closed; SMS carries the alert when data networks are congested
- Collect replies: “I am safe” / “I need help”
- A list of who has replied and, more importantly, who has not
- Escalation for anyone who does not respond
- Delivery and response are recorded on the platform and can be retrieved later — for the incident report, and for reviewing a BCP drill
- Attendance, access control and logistics fleet tracking run on the same platform
WHAT WE CONFIGURE
- Where alerts come from — the weather agency, sensors, your own systems
- The recipient list, the groups, the hierarchy
- Escalation rules — after how long, and to whom
- Wording and colours of the screens
- Integration with your HR system, if you have one
HOW WE START
- PoC (within a month) — prove the delivery flow
- Configuration — alert source, recipients, escalation
- Trial run — with a small group
- Production — maintenance included
End to endSIX STEPS
From requirements definition to maintenance, in six steps.
New builds and maintenance take the same route.
ContractTYPE 01 · STANDARD
Deliverable-based (fixed-price)
For work with a settled scope. You pay for the deliverable, not for man-months. Suits waterfall delivery.
ContractTYPE 02
Lab contract (quasi-mandate)
For long-running work, or work that needs a high level of confidentiality. When the specification changes, you steer the response.
ContractTYPE 03
Unit-rate (cost-reimbursement)
For work whose specification is not settled yet. You pay for the effort actually spent. Suits agile delivery.
TechnologyWHAT WE WORK WITH
We cover a broad stack so that it fits the systems and environment you already run.

How requirements travelTHE PATH
Rework starts where a requirement passes from hand to hand.
TYPICAL
Client› Sales› Communicator› Bridge SE› Developers
TKS
Client› A project lead who speaks Japanese› Design and build
The person who receives the requirement carries it through design and build.
How we work with youTHE TEAM No interpreter in between.
We do not compete on size. We compete on being able to deliver Japanese-quality work with a structure that turns quickly.
Safe · dependable · stable
- Development and operation both run on standardised procedures, so quality does not rest on who happens to be assigned
- Operating procedures are documented, so the same standard holds when the person in charge changes
- The structure is designed with no single point of failure
- A partner network lets us scale resources to the size the work needs
- An emergency contact route, including weekends and outside business hours
The evidence is five years of running our safety-confirmation platform in production.
In Japanese, directly
No interpreter in between.
A project leader who speaks your language — Japanese or English — works with you directly.
In offshore work, rework most often starts where a requirement is passed from person to person. At TKS, the person who receives the requirement is the person accountable for the design and the build.
- A contact point available 10:00–19:00 Japan time
- A weekly standing meeting, with a daily stand-up when the work calls for it
- Slack, Teams, Zoom and Google Meet
- A shared glossary, so the same term does not arrive translated two different ways
- Both the contact point and the engineers work in Japanese and in English. When an overseas site or an English-speaking stakeholder joins the project, we still do not put anyone in between
- Your contact point is someone with more than twenty years on systems for large Japanese enterprises — manufacturing, aviation, trading, retail, food service
MeetingsCADENCE
- Working session
- as needed
- To settle a specific point. We make the purpose clear before each one is called.
- Review
- at each milestone
- To check the quality of the deliverable and of the thinking behind it.
- Progress meeting
- weekly
- To surface issues across each team and the project as a whole, and work out what to do.
- Monthly report
- monthly
- To report the situation to the project owner and ask for decisions where needed.
