Koska

KOSKA Corporation (株式会社KOSKA) is a Tokyo-based manufacturing technology company, founded in October 2018, that applies cost accounting and IoT to the Japanese factory floor. Its flagship product GenKan (原価管理自動化サービス) automates cost management for high-mix low-volume manufacturers: RFID and power sensors installed on existing equipment capture work progress and consumption without changing operator behavior, then make processing cost, material cost, and electricity cost visible line by line, feeding real actual-cost figures and KPI setting back to the shop floor and management. A second product, ながら記録 (Nagara Kiroku / "vScribe"), is an AI record-keeping app for manufacturing, construction, and logistics sites — photograph a paper form and AI generates the input form, then operators record hands-free by speaking, with the AI parsing natural speech into structured records, inspections, and reports. KOSKA is led by CEO Kenichiro Sone (Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2021) and advised by Hiroshi Obata, former chair of the Japan Cost Accounting Association. As of this profile the company publishes no public developer API, SDK, or developer portal — it is a sensor-and-SaaS product company, not an API provider.

Koska is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Manufacturing, Cost Management, Cost Accounting, and Industrial IoT.

Koska’s developer surface includes engineering blog, product news, support, and 7 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/koska: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
