[Background of the Renewal]
In recent years, as customer visits initiated by Google Maps searches have become more widespread, the role required for managing and operating store information has become increasingly sophisticated. Amidst this, "MEO CHEKI byGMO" has expanded its adoption to over 80,000 stores since its launch in 2019, addressing diverse needs such as multi-store operations and data utilization. At the same time, expectations for further improvements in usability, including enhanced operability and stronger integration with other services, are also rising. To continuously and promptly respond to these needs, we have strengthened our development platform in anticipation of future functional expansions, and completely revamped the management screen.
[Key points of renewal]
1. Complete redesign of the user-friendly screen interface.
We completely redesigned the screen layout and user flow, creating a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily access necessary functions. We also simplified the names of some functions, making it possible for even first-time users to operate the system quickly and smoothly.
2. Improvement of existing functions
We have reviewed and improved the system, focusing on features such as the review response function and reporting function, based on user feedback, to make it more user-friendly.
3. Shortening the new feature release cycle through rebuilding the development infrastructure.
By revamping the system structure, we shortened the release cycle for bug fixes and new feature additions. We have established a system that allows for continuous improvement of future features.
