Business

COLLABOS Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in cloud services for call centers, founded in 2001. It provides a one-stop suite of services necessary for call center operations, including IP phone exchange systems (PBX/CTI), customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and AI marketing systems. Its main customers span a wide range of industries centered on telemarketing operators and BPO operators, including manufacturers, retailers, and financial institutions, and it serves call centers ranging from small-scale operations with around 5 seats to large-scale operations with over 300 seats. In April 2026, the company changed its market segment listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from the Growth Market to the Standard Market.

Business Model

Clients share the system jointly via the internet without requiring large-scale capital investment, paying a monthly fee. Since the monthly usage fee varies according to the number of seats/IDs used and the addition of optional features, expansion of a client's business directly translates into increased revenue. By adopting a monthly billing model in addition to initial fees, the company secures stable recurring revenue while also aiming to increase revenue per customer through cross-selling and upselling.

Company Strengths

Since launching @nyplace in 2002, the company has continuously provided cloud services for call centers for over 20 years, accumulating extensive knowledge through closely tailored services including schedule coordination and statistical report analysis support for telecommunications carriers to improve their operations. The company has obtained Privacy Mark certification (2007), ISMS certification (2009), and Excellent Telephone Business Operator certification (2025), ensuring reliability.

The in-house developed AI call center system VLOOM incorporates integration with the generative AI Gemini to improve the accuracy of automatic call summarization, features scenario-based voice bot functionality, and adopts a fully redundant AWS configuration. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), it achieved rapid growth with sales of ¥116 million (up 101.7% year on year) and an average number of channels used during the period of 879 channels (up 373 channels year on year), with functional differentiation from competitors contributing to customer acquisition.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), cost of sales was significantly reduced to ¥1,018 million (down 17.1% year on year). In addition to reductions in communication costs, hosting fees, and maintenance costs, the company promoted the consolidation of data center racks and lines and optimization of the system configuration of proprietary services. Even as sales decreased by 10.9% year on year, the company maintained operating profit of ¥74 million (down 1.6% year on year), demonstrating improved profit resilience through cost structure improvements.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Revenue for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥1,699 million (down 10.9% year on year), marking two consecutive years of double-digit revenue decline. The mainstay "@nyplace" saw its average number of seats in use during the period fall by 1,073 seats year on year to 4,038 seats, with revenue shrinking sharply by 20.6% year on year to ¥920 million. The structural decline in demand stemming from business downsizing and cost reduction among telemarketing and BPO operators has continued, and even the strong growth of proprietary services (up 37.3%) has not been enough to offset the overall revenue decline. Achieving the FY2027 (ending March 2027) revenue forecast of ¥1,780 million (up 4.8% year on year) will require a further acceleration of proprietary services.

Ordinary profit for FY2026 (ending March 2026) fell sharply to ¥52 million (down 48.9% year on year), but this was mainly due to a one-time factor: the recording of ¥20 million in non-operating expenses for provision of a reserve for shareholder benefits associated with the introduction of a shareholder benefit program. Meanwhile, net income of ¥101 million was supported by ¥26 million in gain on reversal of stock acquisition rights (extraordinary income) and ¥30 million in income tax adjustment (gain), meaning the company's underlying earning power is not as strong as the figures suggest. The FY2027 (ending March 2027) net income forecast is ¥50 million (down 50.6% year on year), a substantial decline, reflecting the fading of these tax effect benefits.

The company itself has acknowledged that under the previous medium-term management plan (FY2024 (ending March 2024) through FY2026 (ending March 2026)), delays in the release of proprietary services prevented revenue contributions from reaching initial expectations. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), the company forecasts operating profit of ¥71 million (down 4.5% year on year), while anticipating upfront costs such as amortization of developed software and human capital investment related to enhancing VLOOM's functionality, as well as increased advertising and IR expenses. While the external environment—driven by DX in the call center market and expanding adoption of AI agents—provides a tailwind, the core of the investment decision lies in the balance between the pace of proprietary service sales expansion and the rate of decline in existing services.

Growth Strategy

Shift toward an earnings base centered on proprietary services led by VLOOM, combined with cost optimization of existing services

Improved automatic call summarization accuracy through integration with the generative AI "Gemini" and added scenario-based voice bot functionality have already been implemented. In FY2027 (ending March 2026), the company will promote feature development reflecting DX needs such as AI utilization and automation, and pursue one-stop functionality through integration with its own services, aiming to establish an earnings base centered on proprietary services.

Lead generation was strengthened through a free initial-cost campaign, industry-specific sales activities, exhibiting at AI-related events, and SEO measures. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), proprietary services as a whole grew 37.3% year on year; UZ acquired new projects with telecommunications and BPO operators, and GOLDEN LIST secured performance-based fee projects with insurance and BPO clients.

The company is promoting retention activities for key customers through migration to a new PBX (private branch exchange) and the launch of a statistics management tool. It is expanding revenue opportunities through call charge reduction proposals and cross-selling/up-selling of peripheral services; however, in FY2026 (ending March 2026), the average number of seats in use during the period decreased by 1,073 seats year on year, and structural contraction has continued, limiting the results achieved.

The company implemented reductions in maintenance and hosting costs through data center rack and line consolidation, reduced communication costs in line with sales, and cut outsourcing costs by promoting business automation and insourcing. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), cost of sales was reduced by 17.1% year on year, successfully maintaining operating profitability even amid declining net sales.
