The well-known cloud platform of the domestic design industry, G&C, released the news: they recently launched a new collaborative UI design tool - "G&D DT".
Gike Technology is a company focusing on service and innovation in the field of product design, and the core team has deep experience in product research and development of computer graphics and design tools. In 2018, Gec launched the cloud collaboration product "Gec Design Cloud", and the company was upgraded from a tool developer to a cloud service + collaboration solution provider. In the following three years, G&D continued to exert efforts in the domestic and foreign design tools and enterprise service markets, and also released a collaborative online prototype interactive design product "G&D RP", which gained a good reputation in the industry.

With the release of the latest UI vector design tool "Gle DT", G&D's "1 + 2 + 1" product matrix has been fully closed. "1" refers to the G&C design cloud platform, "2" is the two design tools of G&D RP and G&DT (respectively, product managers and UI designers give more professional design capabilities), and the last "1" refers to G&C design system. Such a configuration not only more comprehensively meets the work and collaboration needs of research, product, UI/UE, development, operation and other positions in the team, but also is more compatible with the usage habits of users from different industry backgrounds. Looking at the world, there are currently more mature products in these four dimensions, only Gke.
Based on this, Gcl can effectively integrate functions such as wireframe design, PRD document writing, prototype interaction design, visual design, UI design, design delivery, design specification management, task management, team management, etc., and output it as an all-in-one online design collaboration solution, which undoubtedly provides more comprehensive business coverage and more powerful use value for enterprise customers. At the same time, because several products are both interconnected and can operate independently, enterprises can flexibly configure and choose, avoiding the bloat caused by "strong functional binding".
Product application scenarios
Foreign product Figma has completed a $200 million Series E financing in June this year, with a valuation of up to $10 billion, a five-fold increase in one year, and the online design industry has surged with it. Because such products have the great possibility of replacing traditional design software such as Sketch, Photoshop, Axure, etc., they are fully qualified to lead the next round of industry work mode and change of usage habits, and the only few companies with corresponding technical reserves in China have rushed to enter the market.
For the imitators who do not chase the wind, choosing to "strike later" at this point in time is obviously more adequately prepared. At present, the spin-off and personnel expansion of dt business unit have been completed internally, so as to fully release the creativity and research and development potential within the team, accelerate the polishing and iteration of products, and prepare for the follow-up "Genting Battle" of China's Figma Circuit. G&C will also continue to explore the possibility of internal linkage of its many products to form a stronger synergy and deeply empower the Internet design and R & D team.
"It's certainly not feasible to completely copy figma's philosophy in China, where there are many native differences in the design industry." Lao Bu, CEO of G&Ker Technology, said, "G&D will focus on the real needs of Local Chinese designers and large enterprises, let the most avant-garde concepts and thinking in the industry collide and integrate with our own products, and create a design tool that truly understands Chinese designers." ”
To a large extent, Gike can have such confidence, to a large extent, relying on a large number of head enterprise users and global designer resources accumulated in the design industry in the past 6 years. At present, the products in the "China Figma" track are basically still in the catch-up stage of basic functions, and they are still far from being truly commercialized and popularized. As the only one in the industry with global practical operation experience and in-depth enterprise service capabilities, Gike undoubtedly has greater growth potential and a higher ceiling. In addition, G&C also completed tens of millions of yuan A+ round of financing from Fengyang Capital and Kaitai Capital this year, all of which were used to accelerate the company's product research and development, market promotion, ecological construction and international expansion.

Judging from the information currently disclosed by Gke, the product will be launched in the follow-up and open plug-in mechanism, and natively support the import and export of other mainstream design formats. Coupled with its RP, design cloud platform and other mature products that have been proven by the market for a long time, the ecological advantages of Gpc DT will become more and more obvious.
China is one of the world's largest digital consumer markets, and design, as the cornerstone of digital products, will increasingly become the core of corporate research and development. In the next few years, it is very likely that a world-class design cloud service provider will be born in China. Not only to position "China Figma", but to be a "world's GY", if G&W can seize this historical opportunity, it is likely to have a profound impact on the transformation of the design industry in China and even the world.
