Robot Consulting is a small Japanese software and services company that helps SMBs digitize their operations. The company has two active revenue streams: Labor Robot, a cloud-based HR and accounting platform that helps SMBs manage payroll, attendance, and accounting, and a suite of consulting and services offerings including e-learning courses on digital transformation topics (AI, metaverse, Web 3.0) and installation and support for third-party AI tools. Services account for roughly 89% of total revenue, with e-learning alone representing about 53%. Labor Robot is sold as a one-time license at JPY3,000–5,000 thousand per customer. A central feature of Robot Consulting's go-to-market strategy is helping customers apply for Japanese government subsidies that can cover up to two-thirds of the purchase cost — Robot Consulting typically invoices customers only after subsidy approval, creating a meaningful dependency on government programs. The company sells directly to SMBs and through a network of roughly 253 distributors. Robot Consulting is developing two pre-revenue products: Robot Lawyer, a metaverse-based ChatGPT-powered legal tool targeting Japan, planned for late 2025; and Junior Lawyer X, a U.S. e-discovery automation tool developed in partnership with CJK Group, for which Robot Consulting paid $300,000 and is entitled to 50% of gross revenue in perpetuity, with beta planned for Q1 2026.
