Human Creation Holdings is a pure holding company that formulates strategy and manages operations across its group. The company operates primarily in engineer dispatch services, with a focus on IT system consulting and contract development. It deploys engineers to client sites under dispatch contracts to develop and maintain systems, while also undertaking some contract-based development work.

The company serves major customers including system integrators and manufacturers across diverse industries such as finance, manufacturing and distribution, energy, public sector and healthcare, and telecommunications and media. Revenue is primarily generated through engineer dispatch contracts, combining stable income from long-term on-site placements with supplementary income from contract development, maintenance, and operations services.

The company operates System Solution Services as a single reporting segment, with a vertically integrated service structure spanning upstream to downstream operations. This includes subsidiaries handling management issue identification and requirements definition, ERP consulting and development, subsidiaries with design and development capabilities across multiple locations, as well as maintenance and operations, support desk services, AI solutions, and M&A advisory services. As of September 2025, the company has 773 engineers in total: 186 project managers, 303 systems designers, 206 programmers, and 78 others, providing workforce capacity aligned with customer project phases.

The company's medium to long-term vision is to become a "next-generation management consulting firm that creates solutions," aiming to rank among the top groups in the systems solutions industry in both technological capability and scale. Strategic segment revenue is positioned as the primary performance metric, with strategic segment sales expanding from 1,042 million yen in 2021 to 3,642 million yen in 2025. Going forward, the company will accelerate growth through active use of M&A and business partnerships, while prioritizing a balance between stable profit generation and sustainable growth.

The company differentiates itself through focused investment in talent and technology. On the recruitment front, it is increasing hiring expenses through media advertising and performance-based recruitment agencies to strengthen candidate outreach and expand its workforce. The company combines its proprietary "Skill-Up Project" (basic, intermediate, and advanced levels), hierarchical e-learning, and on-the-job training to improve the ratio of personnel capable of handling upstream processes and enhance unit pricing. Results show that the number of engineers reached 773 as of September 2025, utilization rates are approximately 98.6%, and average contract unit prices have risen from 570 thousand yen in 2021 to 667 thousand yen in 2025, demonstrating the effectiveness of these investments.

In its business expansion plan, the company is strengthening its ability to provide end-to-end services from upstream to downstream within the group. In 2024, it consolidated an AI solutions company into the group, and in 2025, an M&A advisory firm joined, enabling the company to deliver cross-functional services spanning consulting, custom development, and maintenance and operations. This allows the company to pursue upstream project opportunities across diverse industries, build recurring revenue through maintenance and operations, and leverage its six nationwide sales offices to expand orders and deepen customer relationships.

The company pursues technological innovation through dual approaches: investment in external subsidiaries and development of internal learning infrastructure. It expands its service portfolio through consolidating subsidiaries with strengths in AI solutions and ERP systems, while internally promoting the acquisition of cutting-edge technologies through e-learning and research groups. Through a virtuous cycle of practical project experience and education, the company improves engineer skills and optimizes contract unit pricing, driving sustainable growth in revenue and profit.
