SEEDER's Innovative Future Store: Product Development Revolution
SEEDER Inc., led by President Kanji Murata and headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize product development with the launch of its AI database,
Future Store. This innovative platform will officially debut on September 1, 2025, aiming to redefine the way businesses generate and implement new product ideas.
The Need for Innovation in Product Development
In today’s fast-paced market, companies face significant challenges in product development, including the following:
1.
Limited Resources for High-Quality Idea Generation: Many businesses struggle with resource constraints, making it difficult to gather quality ideas within the necessary timeframe. This is particularly true for companies tasked with developing over 100 SKUs annually, where personnel limitations exacerbate the issue.
2.
Difficulty in Differentiating from Competitors: With a plethora of similar products flooding the market, creating unique ideas requires deep consumer insights, which can be time-consuming to acquire and analyze. Consequently, many companies are left with subpar, average ideas.
3.
Internal Approval Process Barriers: Even when promising ideas arise, converting them into compelling proposals that pass internal review can be a challenging task, resulting in many strong ideas going unrecognized.
How Future Store Addresses These Challenges
Future Store is designed to tackle these significant hurdles head-on by offering three innovative frameworks:
1. AI-Powered Product Development Support
Leveraging SEEDER’s vast database of over 2,000 trend analysis reports and 500 consumer research datasets, Future Store provides access to an AI-driven database that generates around 1,000,000 product ideas across approximately 38,000 categories. The AI is tailored to reflect each company's unique characteristics, including customer data and technical constraints, ensuring that the solutions generated are both relevant and actionable. This integration of AI across all stages—from concept design to marketing strategies—ensures efficiency and alignment.
2. Collaborative Experience with Expert Analysts
Future Store goes beyond mere AI suggestions. It offers collaborative workshops facilitated by expert analysts, who take the ideas generated by the AI and transform them into viable product concepts. By interpreting consumer insights into actionable plans, these workshops ensure that the process is structured and reproducible, moving away from ad-hoc brainstorming to systematic value creation.
3. Continuous Generation of Quality Ideas
One of Future Store’s key features is its ability to regularly produce high-quality product ideas that genuinely reflect the voices and aspirations of the product planners. The goal is to make team members feel connected to the creation process, ensuring they can claim ownership of the developed concepts.
Experience the Future of Product Development
To help businesses explore the capabilities of Future Store, SEEDER is offering free workshops where participants can experience a hands-on approach to innovative product development. These workshops provide a unique opportunity to see how the platform can streamline the product development process.
