Philosophy
“Innovating the world’s business through software”
Along with the evolution of ICT, the amount of information both of being generated internally and comes flowing in has become enormous. And many office workers complain “the design of the system is inadequate, so information is indiscernible!”
Meanwhile, the “To Be” business process continues to change. It may be said that “it is changing every day” in accordance with the change of the business environment such as, for example, “procurement in this month must be approved by the director rather than by the manager in order to curb spending”, or “due to the occurrence of product recall, the defective product inspection process shall be doubled since tomorrow”. That is why information systems become out of date so soon. Hence, the specification change of the system is needed immediately to fit the environmental changes.
Thus, our mission is to create a platform where user companies can bring any business process into system by their own hands. In other words, what we are challenging for is to develop a “platform that allows user companies to cultivate sources of competitiveness by their own“.

Questetra was founded as a “Company with Committees” under the Company Law of Japan.
