■About 'Fullstar'

'Fullstar' is a Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) that places digital guides on the screens of various systems, allowing users to operate without confusion and significantly reducing the workload of support staff handling inquiries. It features a low barrier to entry and high cost-effectiveness due to a free plan, a usage-based fee structure, and simple functionality and screen design.

It has achieved the No.1 market share in the DAP market for two consecutive years (based on 2024 fiscal year sales, for companies with fewer than 300 employees *1).

Service began in April 2021, and it has been adopted by over 2,100 companies as of the end of December 2025.
