About Pathos Logos

Pathos Logos, established in April 2020 by CEO Ryoichi Koshiba, is a Japanese firm dedicated to advancing the digital transformation of corporate back-office functions. Koshiba, leveraging his extensive experience from WORKS APPLICATIONS where he led ERP package development and new business launches, founded the company to address inefficiencies in enterprise systems.

The company's core business revolves around the development and sale of core ERP solutions, specifically in human resources, payroll, and accounting. Its flagship product, "Pathos Logos HR Core," is a comprehensive suite that includes HR information management, payroll calculation, and personnel evaluation functionalities. A key differentiator is its "HR Co-creation Platform," an open platform designed to integrate with other SaaS products, thereby creating a collaborative ecosystem. This model not only provides clients with a centralized ERP but also facilitates the adoption of specialized third-party SaaS solutions for enterprise clients.

Pathos Logos primarily targets large enterprises in Japan, aiming to streamline their administrative operations and free up valuable time for more creative and strategic tasks. The firm's revenue is generated through the sale of its ERP software and by fostering a marketplace where other SaaS vendors can connect with enterprise customers. Additionally, the company engages in a talent provision business, supplying skilled personnel, particularly to SaaS-based product ventures.
