Japanese enterprise IT operates on standards Western vendors often underestimate — documentation depth, communication formality, change-control discipline, and 顧客第一 (customer-first) cadence. NKKTech is built for this market. Founder Tony Nguyen spent 10 years at Toyota, Sony, and Rakuten in Tokyo and Osaka. Senior team includes native-Japanese engineers. 3+ year partnership with PrismLab on AI/AR development. Daily JST-hours overlap.
Six engagement patterns we run most often for Tokyo-based clients. Adapted for Japanese enterprise IT expectations — documentation, communication style, and operational rigor.
Daily standups, PRs, design docs, and stakeholder reports in Japanese when needed. Senior engineers with N1 / business-fluent Japanese. Tony joins critical conversations directly (10 years enterprise Japan experience).
Documentation matches Japanese enterprise expectations: 詳細設計書 (detailed design docs), 運用手順書 (operations runbooks), 試験仕様書 (test specifications). Not the 'README + good luck' style common in US engineering.
Computer vision QA for factories (3-year PrismLab AI/AR partnership), multilingual knowledge agents for global field teams, predictive maintenance for industrial equipment, document automation. All with Japanese-quality engineering rigor.
Vietnam is GMT+7, Japan is GMT+9 — only 2 hours difference. Daily sync window is 10am-5pm JST = 8am-3pm Vietnam. We do morning standup in your hours, hand off via async docs in afternoon. Much smoother than US engagements.
Tony or senior engineers fly to Tokyo from Hanoi (~5h direct flight) for kickoff + critical milestones. We don't have a permanent Tokyo office but can co-locate for 2-4 week embeds when projects justify.
Default: Singapore-law MSA via NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. for cleaner IP terms. For clients requiring Japan-law: partner counsel relationship in Tokyo for client-specific structures. NDA + DPA templates in both Japanese and English.
30 minutes via Zoom or Google Meet, scheduled in JST. Tony joins for strategic discussions; senior engineer for technical. Conducted in Japanese or English depending on your preference.
Detailed proposal in Japanese-business format: 提案書, scope definition, 見積書 (quote), schedule. Reviewable by your in-house IT + legal.
JST-hours sync, weekly demo (often in Japanese), milestone-based payment. On-site visits at kickoff + week 4 + week 12. Documentation produced as you go, not at the end.
Production launch + comprehensive handoff documentation. Optional 保守契約 (maintenance contract) for ongoing operation: typically ¥800K-1.5M/month for active retainer.
Factory CV (defect detection, OEE), predictive maintenance, multilingual knowledge agents for global plants. 3-year PrismLab AI/AR partnership track record.
Compliance-aware AI (FSA-aligned), customer-support automation, document OCR for retail banking, internal knowledge agents.
Multilingual document automation, supply-chain visibility, contract analysis, market-intelligence agents across multiple languages.
Engineering team augmentation, internal tools, AI feature shipping inside core products. Common: 3-6 month engagements with embedded senior engineers.
MVP build for AI startups, fixed-fee scoping, English-fluent senior engineers for international-facing teams.
Shipping document OCR (multilingual), route optimization, customs automation for trade-heavy clients.
はい、可能です。Tony は10年間トヨタ、ソニー、楽天で日本のエンタープライズIT経験があります。複数のシニアエンジニアもN1または業務レベル日本語話者です。打ち合わせ、ドキュメンテーション、リリースノートまで日本語で対応可能です。技術的な議論で英語が必要な場合は併用も可能。
Much smoother than US. Vietnam-Japan is only 2 hours difference (JP is GMT+9, VN is GMT+7). Our standard cadence: 10am JST standup (8am Vietnam), async work afternoon, evening review handoff. About 6-7 hours of business-day overlap, vs. 1-3 hours for US clients.
Hanoi-Tokyo is a 5-hour direct flight. Tony or senior engineers visit at kickoff + critical milestones (typically 2-4 times per engagement). For projects requiring on-site, we can arrange 2-4 week embeds at your office with senior engineers — adds about ¥800K-1.5M to engagement cost.
Default is Singapore-law via NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. (cleaner for international IP). For clients requiring Japan-law contracts, we have a partner Japanese legal counsel relationship for client-specific MSAs. NDA + DPA templates are available in both Japanese and English.
AI MVP for Japanese clients (10-14 weeks): JPY 6-12M fixed-fee. Larger enterprise engagements: JPY 30-100M over 6-12 months. 保守契約 (ongoing retainer): JPY 800K-1.5M/month. すべて固定報酬 — no T&M surprises. 1週間のスコーピングエンゲージメント後、見積もりを確定します。
