Ask your supply chainanything.
Why did this item go out of stock? Just ask. ScopteX is an AI-native supply chain planning SaaS, designed so AI agents can understand what your business data means.
PROBLEM
Japan's logistics is at a structural turning point
With transport capacity shortages now a reality, some challenges can no longer be solved by any single company alone.
The 2024 logistics problem and new trucking laws
Working-hour regulations for drivers and new legislation have made capacity shortages real. The old assumption that goods can simply be shipped no longer holds — planning accuracy itself is now the question.
The investment barrier to advanced SCM
Demand forecasting and inventory optimization have long been reserved for large enterprises. For small and mid-sized companies, the cost barrier keeps planning stuck in spreadsheets and intuition.
The limits of single-company optimization
A supply chain never ends with one company. Without broad participation from SMEs — including suppliers and partners — end-to-end optimization stays out of reach.
SOLUTION
AvailableAvailable today
A configuration-driven architecture eliminates custom development, with pricing designed to be realistic for small and mid-sized enterprises.
AI Demand Forecasting
A forecasting engine that reads ahead from historical data — replacing intuition with data as the starting point of every plan.
PSI Planning
Manage production (purchasing), sales, and inventory in a single view. Prevent stockouts and excess inventory at the same time.
Data Integration
Automated data intake from existing systems via FTP / CSV. Start without replacing your core systems or changing how you work.
Configuration-Driven Dashboards
Define company-specific business data through configuration alone — screens, permissions, and data structures adapt to your operations without development.
Services in development
SIP standard logistics message support
Supporting the government-led logistics standardization platform to remove barriers in inter-company data exchange.
Seamless WMS / TMS integration
From forecasting and PSI to warehouse and transport management — connecting the software stack needed for supply chain optimization.
Services in development include concepts at the design stage. Timing and specifications are subject to change.
AI-NATIVE
AI that understands the business, not just the data.
Where did the stockout come from? Which inventory is about to pile up? Questions that used to wait for expert analysis can now be answered by AI.ScopteX is built AI-native — with a semantic layer, an ontology, and MCP — so AI agents can understand and directly read your operations, meaning included.
Questions you can ask
- Why did this item go out of stock?
- Which items are heading for excess inventory next month?
- Which items are becoming hard to forecast?
"Why did this item go out of stock?"
An inbound shipment arrived 3 days late, and safety stock was too low to cover it.
Semantic layer
Gives data its business meaning
"stockout"stock_qty = 0
"safety stock"safety_stock_qty
Ontology
Defines how business concepts relate
Business data
Demand, inventory, orders, PSI
AI agent connectivity (MCP) is currently in development. Timing is subject to change.

ScopteX removes the barriers to SME participation and moves end-to-end optimization forward.

By making the most of AI in how we build, combined with deep SCM expertise, we deliver advanced supply chain planning to everyone, at a fair price.
Pricing that reaches everyone
Building with AI at full leverage lets us deliver individually expensive software at a price SMEs can adopt — continuously lowering the barrier to participation.
ORIGIN
The name ScopteX
ScopteX comes from "scope" — the power to see ahead. Layered into the name: optimizing (OPT) the supply chain (SC) through technology (TEX).
FOUNDER
Three decades alongside supply chain operations.
Since joining Nomura Research Institute (NRI) in 1994, I have worked on supply chain and procurement optimization for retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. Supporting transformation at large enterprises made one thing clear: strengthening Japan's supply chains requires a mechanism that small and mid-sized enterprises can join.
Now that AI has fundamentally changed how software is built, advanced SCM expertise can finally reach every company that needs it. ScopteX was founded to make that happen.
