Archisketch Japan Joins SoftBank's ONE SHIP Partner Program

Archisketch Japan, the Japanese subsidiary of Korean AI interior-agent company Archisketch, has been officially selected as a partner in SoftBank's enterprise program ONE SHIP. The move gives the startup a route into SoftBank's corporate network as it expands in Japan.

Launched in 2019, ONE SHIP is a SoftBank program that works with companies holding advanced technology in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud, the Internet of Things and robotics. Its aim is to find new enterprise solutions and create markets for them. More than 900 global tech companies currently take part.

A one-stop interior workflow

Archisketch's core product combines AI with 3D spatial computing. It covers interior design, three-dimensional visualization, virtual product placement and customized quote consultations in a single flow. A cloud-based 3D design engine is linked to an AI agent, so furniture and appliance makers, retail brands and interior contractors can process spatial data in real time and offer customers precise, tailored proposals.

In South Korea, the company says it has gathered 3.8 million cumulative users and has been widening its business-to-business supply chain among furniture and appliance distributors.

Plans for Japan

Using SoftBank's broad corporate network, Archisketch Japan plans to run pilot projects of its AI-based 3D visualization, focusing on the Japanese residential and interior market. It intends to supply solutions step by step, tailored to the working environments and commercial spaces of Japanese companies.

CEO Lee Joo-sung said the selection would be a bridgehead connecting the company's proprietary AI and 3D spatial technology directly with the networks of major Japanese corporations. He said the company aims to lead the digital transformation of space design and customer consultation through close work with local retail and construction firms.

Archisketch Japan also intends to diversify technology tie-ups with local system integrators and real estate developers. It plans to expand its software-as-a-service offering, which automates complex interior design and estimate calculation processes.
