CoDMON
Codmon is an all-in-one system that supports the daily lives of nursery school staff and employees,.
CoDMON Inc. operates with the mission of improving the environment for children through technology. The company was founded in 2015 by Fuminori Sato, who continues to lead the company. Sato's journey began after graduating from Yokohama National University's Faculty of Economics in 2002 and working at Venture Link Co., Ltd. He later started his own business in 2009, focusing on web marketing and supporting client growth, which eventually led to the creation of the CoDMON service. During the initial development, Sato was hands-on, designing the overall specifications, user interface, and front-end engineering.
The core of the business is "CoDMON," an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) service designed for childcare and educational facilities. The platform serves a wide range of clients, including nursery schools, kindergartens, after-school care programs, elementary schools, cram schools, and other educational institutions. Since its launch in 2015, the service has been adopted by over 22,631 facilities across Japan. The business model appears to be subscription-based, with contracts made per facility for public institutions and per support unit for private ones.
CoDMON offers a comprehensive suite of features to streamline administrative tasks and improve communication between facilities and guardians. Key functionalities include attendance management, emergency contact distribution, photo sales, monthly billing, and creating daily logs and developmental records. The service is designed to be modular, allowing facilities to select and implement only the functions they need. The platform also supports various government subsidies for ICT implementation and provides robust customer support, including manuals, webinars, and phone assistance, to ensure smooth adoption even for users who are not tech-savvy. To protect sensitive data, the company employs security measures such as data encryption and IP address restrictions, with all data stored securely in domestic data centers in Japan.
