Cross Shore LLC is a Japanese company registered in Kamakura, operating between Japan and Thailand. We work in three areas: OEM product development, business systems, and our own media. This page is a short company profile. We work in Japanese and English.
In all three, the people who know the work on the ground do it themselves.
One person handles planning, specification, factory sourcing, prototyping, quality control and delivery from start to finish. We work directly with factories in China, so small runs and non-standard builds are possible.
Small tools built around the actual workflow of owner-run companies: quotations, customer ledgers, paper-form capture and renewal deadlines. Someone who knows the business and an engineer work on site together. Each tool is developed and delivered as one project. ichirin works keeps the source code and holds the copyright, and the client receives a licence to use the tool with no time limit. Bugs and outages are fixed free of charge with no time limit, unless the code has been changed on the client's side after delivery. This business runs under the name ichirin works.
Four media we build and run ourselves, starting with living and working between Japan and Thailand. We write about what we have actually done.
You do not need a finished specification. Tell us the problem and we will take it from there. Enquiries in English are welcome by email; our enquiry form is in Japanese.
Whether it is a product, a system or a story, we start from the problem you are trying to solve.
