What It Is

Kabushiki Kaisha YOZBOSHI is a Japanese enterprise software company whose core product is Connected Base, positioned as a “document DX platform.” It is not simply an AI-OCR tool. Instead, it provides integrated support for reading, judging, formatting, inputting, connecting to systems, archiving, and operational adoption—addressing common issues in field operations such as construction and manufacturing, where document formats vary, rules depend on individual know-how, and downstream data entry is cumbersome.

Core Capabilities

Connected Base covers documents such as invoices, receipts, purchase orders, delivery notes, and quotations, and can process data from paper documents, PDFs, images, and FAX. Its key feature is the combination of AI-based parsing with human confirmation workflows. Projects, exception rules, confirmation points, output formats, and storage requirements can be defined according to each customer’s business processes. The source text also mentions integrations with Excel, CSV, ledgers, accounting systems, storage locations, and core/business systems, as well as operational support related to Japan’s electronic bookkeeping law and invoice system.

Pricing and Deployment

The publicly available materials do not disclose plans, pricing, payment methods, or whether there is a free version or trial policy. Interested users can only proceed through consultation and quotation-based sales discussions. In terms of deployment, the company materials state that Connected Base is offered as SaaS, but do not specify whether private deployment, self-hosting, or dedicated cloud options are supported. Open capabilities such as APIs, developer documentation, and Webhooks are also not disclosed.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its strong focus on specific use cases, making it especially suitable for companies in construction, manufacturing, and similar industries where document formats are complex, exceptions are frequent, and cross-department collaboration chains are long. It also provides rule design, training, adoption support, and continuous improvement, helping solve the common failure point of “deploying OCR without changing the workflow.” The downside is limited public transparency: pricing, security certifications, SLA, specific third-party integration lists, and permission systems are not disclosed. Product materials are mainly in Japanese, which increases the evaluation cost for overseas companies.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Connected Base is suitable for management, managers, sales, and construction/engineering departments in Japan-based companies or businesses related to Japan that need to process large volumes of invoices, orders, vouchers, ledgers, and legally required document storage. Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the available materials, and payment methods are not disclosed. If a Chinese company only needs local invoice recognition and finance/tax integrations, it may also consider domestic solutions such as Yonyou, Kingdee, IntSig, and Laiye.
