Data platform and AI consulting for Japanese manufacturing and logistics
FLYWHEEL operates as a professional services and platform business serving Japanese enterprises on data strategy and AI adoption. The tech stack reveals a sophisticated data architecture (Snowflake, Elasticsearch, Apache Pulsar, Dagster) paired with full-stack application capabilities (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Kotlin), positioning them to deliver both consulting and product. Active projects center on Conata, their proprietary data platform, alongside 0→1 product creation and supply-chain optimization work—indicating a shift from pure consulting toward packaged solutions.
FLYWHEEL, founded in 2018 and based in Tokyo, helps Japanese mid-market and enterprise companies reimagine operations through data and AI. The company operates on two tracks: professional services (business strategy, platform design, and custom solution development) and a proprietary data platform called Conata, which handles secure data governance and flow across organizational silos. Core verticals include manufacturing, logistics, and supply-chain optimization. The engineering-and-sales-balanced headcount (51–200 employees, all hiring in Japan) reflects a hybrid consulting-and-product model typical of high-touch enterprise data vendors.
Conata is FLYWHEEL's proprietary data platform designed to enable secure data governance, privacy-first data distribution, and value-creating data flows across enterprise systems. It supports both data agent automation and platform integration for customer success use cases.
FLYWHEEL's stack includes Snowflake (data warehouse), Apache Pulsar (streaming), Dagster (data orchestration), Elasticsearch (search), Kubernetes (container orchestration), and frontend frameworks React and Next.js, plus RAG and cloud platforms AWS, GCP, and Azure.
FLYWHEEL has 17 active open roles with minimal recent posting velocity. Current openings span engineering (2), sales (2), data (2), marketing (2), and support (1), concentrated among senior and mid-level professionals, with all hiring restricted to Japan.
