Message from our CEO

Science Arts marks the 10th anniversary of launching Buddycom, our live communication platform, developed under our mission: “Delivering the future of digital transformation to frontline workers and promoting brighter and happier workplaces.”

Buddycom has been adopted across many industries, particularly by major enterprises, as we continue to develop features tailored to frontline workers—not only group voice communication but also speech-to-text, real-time translation, and the sharing of video and location information.

We have always aimed to stand close to those working on the front lines and to help create an environment where people can work brightly, enjoyably, and with peace of mind. Going forward, we will continue to expand our development efforts with Buddycom at the core—broadening the scope of what we build through enhanced AI and safety support features, jointly developing IP radios, and strengthening integrations with various systems.

Building on the trust we have accumulated over the years, Science Arts will continue to evolve Buddycom beyond a voice communication tool that supports on-site operations and toward a platform that supports society more broadly. We will continue taking on new challenges to help build a world where more workplaces—and frontline workers around the globe—can work with bright and cheerful smiles.

Our Values

01. Valuing One Another

No work is accomplished by one person. Our colleagues, our overseas IT manufacturers, our IT partner organization, we are all one team. We accomplish goals by working together.

02. Trusting One Another

Have total and complete faith. Trust, and rely on each other.

03. Valuing Responsibility

Professionals are professionals, through a consistent sense of responsibility.

04.Challenge

Work towards a dream. Desire self-realization.

05. Work With A Smile

This is something truly important.

Origin of Company Name

All intellectual endeavors of man can be explained in one part, through “Science”, by logic and empirical evidence, but counter to this, there is also the element of “Art” behind our actions that is difficult to reason and methodologically explain, involving personal skill and experience unique to each of us.

We believe that we can approach “true perfection” by adding simple and beautiful Arts to technically perfect Science.
