What ACTY does

ACTY (有限会社アクティ) is a Matsumoto, Japan-based private limited liability company founded on July 13, 1992, that provides web design, web system development, graphic design, and drone-based aerial services to small and medium-sized businesses primarily in Nagano Prefecture. The company operates through direct engagement with local SMBs, delivering corporate websites, e-commerce sites, custom web-based business systems, and branded print and digital collateral. Its technical stack relies on standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, related frameworks) with no proprietary platform, SDK, API, or AI/ML capability disclosed; the firm markets itself through a portfolio of 35+ live client works and word-of-mouth referrals within the regional business community, with no public pricing and no published enterprise case studies.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (custom web development, design work, drone aerial photography and video) and one-time website production projects with optional ongoing maintenance and support. ACTY does not publicly disclose pricing; engagements are quote-based. The company is led by Representative Director Makoto Hirabayashi (平林誠), is organized as a Japanese 有限会社 with registered capital of 9,000,000 yen, and is part of a small corporate group that includes DOA Inc. (株式会社DOA). Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees and operating geographies are limited to Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

ACTY's four-pillar service offering — Web制作 (website production), Webシステム開発 (custom web systems), 各種デザイン (graphic design with in-house photography), and ドローンサービス (drone-based aerial imagery and video) — is positioned as an integrated bundle for clients that lack in-house digital capabilities. Customers named in the portfolio span industries including trading, golf clubs, food service, restaurants, medical foundations, construction, retail, education, sports, agriculture, insurance, manufacturing, and hospitality, all regional SMBs in Nagano. The company has also signaled forward-looking drone expansion into agricultural monitoring, pesticide spraying, and 3D modeling/mapping, though these services remain stated future plans rather than active offerings.
