Eight
Business card management app aka Japan de facto standard, 2012
Eight is a digital application designed for organizing business cards. Data is automatically digitized by scanning business cards on a smartphone. Once digitized, recorded data can be accessed from anywhere, including from smartphones, tablets, and computers, and can also be shared on SNS. Eight is an innovative product that proposes new alternatives to handling and managing business cards. Takram was responsible for the series of creative tasks associated with the software launch of this project.
