4COLORS Officially Releases "ROI-Maker," Visualizing ROI and Guiding Solutions with a Single Input of a Challenge

4COLORS Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Rokuro Kayama) officially released 'ROI-Maker' on April 1, 2026. This service allows users to simply input a business challenge, and AI visualizes the Return on Investment (ROI), rapidly generating and sharing persuasive solution proposals such as '20% reduction in man-hours' or '300% ROI'.

Under the vision of "Creating Value That Communicates," 4COLORS upholds the brand message "Solving customer challenges through the power of communication." Its flagship service, "PIP-Maker," which creates videos from PowerPoint, has achieved a cumulative total of 850 companies introduced, 200,000 videos produced, and viewership in over 150 countries worldwide, 20 years after its release.

'ROI-Maker' is a new challenge for our company, realized through joint development with SCIEN, a startup from the University of Tokyo's Matsuo Lab. By leveraging AI agent technology, we aim to build a new foundation that accelerates corporate decision-making by achieving both reproducibility and speed in proposal operations, which have traditionally been highly dependent on individual expertise.

What is "ROI-Maker," which instantly visualizes ROI by simply entering a challenge?

Against the backdrop of a declining working population, deepening labor shortages, and the current situation where many DX investments do not lead to results, the "visualization of ROI" is becoming increasingly important for companies. However, criteria for judging DX tool adoption and methods for measuring their effectiveness are often not sufficiently established, leading to many cases where companies cannot quantitatively explain "what to choose and how much value it will generate."

In response to these challenges, there is a growing demand among many companies for a decision-making mechanism centered on ROI.

ROI-Maker is a decision-making platform that responds to these challenges by converting management and operational issues into ROI. Based on the knowledge of "creating value that communicates" cultivated with PIP-Maker, we developed it as a mechanism to visualize ROI from a single challenge and support approval processes and decision-making.
A customized ROI model based on our proprietary assessment data also enables the calculation of ROI that contributes to decision-making, tailored to individual business realities.

[Patent Acquired] AI Agent System Specialized in ROI Calculation

ROI-Maker, jointly developed with SCIEN, a startup from the University of Tokyo's Matsuo Lab, is a platform that supports the entire process from proposal and comparison to decision-making by simply entering a business challenge, allowing AI to structure the challenge and visualize its Return on Investment (ROI).

Unlike general generative AI, by specializing in ROI calculation, it breaks down challenges, organizes the impact of each measure on results and finances, and clearly constructs the return on investment. Based on tens of thousands of data points and case studies, it provides evidence-based proposals and supports decision-making that does not rely on experience or intuition. Furthermore, through an evaluation and improvement mechanism, it is an integrated support service for ROI calculation that combines knowledge, evaluation, and improvement, with accuracy improving with use.

■Main Features

① AI structures challenges and visualizes ROI by simply entering them

② Automatically generates proposals and comparison materials based on ROI

③ Compares multiple proposals and smoothly connects to decision-making

This significantly streamlines the proposal, review, and approval processes, which were previously highly individual-dependent and time-consuming.

■Main Applications

ROI-Maker accelerates corporate decision-making processes by being utilized in areas such as sales support, ROI (BtoB) matching, and education support.

●Sales Support
Automatically generates ROI-based proposals by simply entering challenges. Improves the quality and speed of proposals, enabling high sales capabilities even with a small team.

●Internal Business Efficiency
Accelerates decision-making by visualizing the ROI of internal challenges.

●DX Matching
Connects challenges and solutions with ROI as a common indicator, supporting the selection of optimal products and vendors. Streamlines comparison, review, and decision-making.

By combining the "power to communicate" cultivated with PIP-Maker and the "ROI visualization" of ROI-Maker, we accelerate the bridging of companies facing challenges with companies offering solutions. Furthermore, this service is designed to be compatible with on-premise environments based on the Azure platform, allowing companies with high security requirements to use it with peace of mind.

Exhibition Information

We will be exhibiting ROI-Maker at "NexTech Week 2026 [Spring] AI & Artificial Intelligence EXPO," where you can experience it firsthand. You can see a demonstration of the entire process from challenge input to automatic ROI calculation and proposal comparison at our booth.

In addition to the live demo of ROI-Maker at the booth, our CEO, Rokuro Kayama, will also hold seminars periodically. He will directly explain the development background and usage scenarios, so please stop by.
