Transforming Business Operations: Introducing Highlight

Archvision Inc., headquartered in Toshima, Tokyo, is proud to announce the official launch of its innovative UI/UX subscription service, "Highlight". This service marks a significant evolution in supporting businesses' growth through practical UI/UX design and engineering expertise. Building upon the success of the initial "health check" service launched last May, we've spent a year refining our model based on real-world feedback.

Investing in Design: A Future-Focused Approach

While many companies are pushing for digital transformation (DX), the ease of use of their business systems and services often takes a backseat. This oversight can lead to hidden costs such as increased operational errors, employee dissatisfaction, and the subsequent rise in support inquiries, ultimately undermining a company's competitiveness. "Highlight" addresses this challenge head-on, offering a dedicated team support starting at a monthly fee of 150,000 yen. This service is particularly beneficial for system integrators lacking design personnel or publicly traded companies without in-house teams, allowing them to gradually realize operational improvements.

Features of Highlight

"Highlight" is designed to facilitate holistic improvements in usability by closely working with client businesses. Here are three key features of the service:

1. ROI Demonstrated with Concrete Numbers

We visually demonstrate the differences before and after improvements using key performance indicators (KPIs), providing data that can convince stakeholders from the operational level all the way up to management. This allows companies to substantiate their investment in design, speeding up decision-making processes.

2. A Triad Approach

Our triad approach integrates business analysis, design, and engineering to implement improvements that are contextual to the workplace. This is not just a one-off proposal but a comprehensive service that supports clients throughout the implementation process and effectiveness measurement.

3. Flexible Monthly Subscription

Companies can choose from four different plans tailored to their size and stage of development. With a subscription model, clients can start small and gradually expand their improvements company-wide, avoiding any strain on their resources.

Special Promotion

To commemorate the launch, we are offering a limited-time special price for the Light Plan.

Proven Track Record of Support

Before officially launching "Highlight", Archvision has spent 18 years supporting design improvements across various real-world scenarios. Here are a few examples of our accomplishments:

• - Large Retailer: Improved internal systems to significantly reduce training time for new employees.
• - Educational Services: Enhanced operational efficiency that contributed to reduced running costs and won a Good Design Award.
• - Tourism Industry: Improved UI on the official site, leading to an increase in bookings.

Free Diagnostic Service

To top it off, "Highlight" offers a free one-screen diagnostic service. This assessment is based on Dr. Nielsen's "Ten Usability Heuristics" and utilizes a custom-developed checklist of 50 items specific to our methodologies. While the diagnostic results are derived from a fictitious company and app for public distribution, the assessments rigorously follow the processes of Highlight. We carefully tailor the checklist each time based on the content provided to ensure the most relevant 50 points are covered.

Interested parties only need to provide a screenshot of the target screen for diagnosis. UI/UX issues can be visualized through just one screen, making it easy for companies to experience the value of design with minimal effort. We encourage anyone interested to apply for this free diagnostic service.

Statement from Leadership

"In Japan, design investments are often viewed as a luxury. However, we see a growing number of companies around the world, like Amazon and Airbnb, integrating UI/UX improvements into their growth strategies. Through 'Highlight', we aim to cultivate an environment where usability becomes standard practice across all enterprises."
— Kazunari Sawatari, CEO, Archvision Inc.

White Paper Available

We have also published a white paper summarizing issues related to UI/UX and tips for resolution. Anyone can access this resource without registration, and it's perfect for those interested in practical insights about challenges on the ground.

• - Highlight Journal: Expert tips along with insights derived from hands-on support.
