A product studio that shapes what you want

Turn ideas into form.
Create systems people keep using.

We support you end-to-end—from requirements to design, implementation, and maintenance—specializing in system development, automation, and visualization.

We are on the side of teams dealing with siloed tasks and too much manual work.
We offer wide-ranging options, including recommending existing products.
Based in Saitama, we support both on-site visits and online meetings.

Pricing is estimated individually based on requirements and architecture. BI and automation work generally start around ¥100,000, and web/system projects range from several tens of thousands of yen upward. See the pricing page for reference ranges. → View pricing

About HoshimonoDesign

HoshimonoDesign is a sole proprietorship that restructures on-site operations and delivers system development, automation and visualization by building small and improving in production.
We organize the issues in existing work and shape them with the most appropriate means. A project manager with the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification shares the reasoning behind decisions and risk responses, guaranteeing both process and quality.

Philosophy and assumptions

We shape what you want to do, and polish it from there.

Build small, sharpen in operation

We don't rush to a finished form. We launch with the minimum configuration and sharpen with on-site feedback.

What we can't do

Our members run projects alongside their day jobs, so we can't take on labor-intensive efforts or extremely short deadlines — but costs stay relatively low.

We also don't take on IoT device deployments or new native smartphone app development.

Strengths and stance

We design around "will it actually be used" and "can it be sustained".

Goal-first thinking with the right means

We build the minimum configuration tied directly to your goal and weigh whether the result is something operation can keep using. Off-the-shelf options are considered when appropriate.

Verify and iterate with an MVP (minimum viable unit)

We're good at building a minimum viable unit and improving it as we watch how it gets used.

A nimble project setup

A small team of full-stack engineers handles delivery, so we can stay flexible about structure, operations, and contract shape.

Partnership and contract services

We respond flexibly across requirements organization, design, implementation and operations improvement — scaled to the work and the organization.
The goal of design isn't just delivery, it's an arrangement the business actually settles into.

We carefully listen to the work and the on-site constraints, leverage existing cloud services or off-the-shelf software for the parts they cover, and only build the parts they can't. Operations, cost and security feed into the choice between cloud, on-prem or hybrid — we propose the shape that requires the least friction.

Data activation

BI tool deployment support

We start with the smallest set of KPIs and dashboards, then improve and embed them through real-world operation.

System

System development

We split requirements into small slices and ship a working minimum system first, absorbing real-world drift as we improve.

Automation

RPA deployment support

Automation starts small and improves with on-site exceptions and operations in mind. Reliability over breadth.

Practical support

Business and practical support in Japan (for foreigners)

We work with you as the Japanese-side operator for procedures, paperwork, and coordination when starting business or deals in Japan.

Improvement

Business workflow improvement

We visualize the current state and start with the smallest change that yields a measurable effect, then verify in operation and expand only as needed.

Web

Website development

We ship the smallest configuration that directly serves your goal, then watch response and operations to improve it.

Even if the brief is still fuzzy, you can start with a free consultation

Share your current situation briefly and we'll come back with a way forward and a rough cost range.

How we work

Six steps focused on building small and improving while operation takes hold.

  1. Discovery (current state, goals, constraints)
  2. Visualization (operations and data flow)
  3. Fit & gap (matching requirements with the current state)
  4. Design (KPI definition, screens, scope)
  5. Implementation (BI / RPA / website / system)
  6. Operation (improvement cycle, handover)

Expected outcomes

While staying mindful of cost and time-to-effect, we share the reasons behind decisions and design intent so you can decide without anxiety.

Reduced mental load

Quiet the "is this really okay?" worry so the work can move forward with conviction.

Fewer rework cycles

By sharing the decision criteria up front, the time lost on re-confirming, explaining and re-doing work goes down.

An improvement cycle that sticks

By visualising numbers and the situation, improvement keeps running on evidence instead of gut feel.

Availability and communication

Because we operate as a side business, primary availability is weekday evenings and weekends. Web meetings and on-site visits are arranged in advance.

We keep costs in check while emphasising design and incremental implementation, so the approach and schedule are aligned carefully during the initial consultation.
