Current charting tools are quite complex, requiring a lot of time to learn to get used to, while the chart is only a small part of the boss report.

In the past, users often used Microsoft Word or Powerpoint to draw diagrams, but because it was not a specialized feature, to create an additional cell on the diagram, it took three steps to navigate. Meanwhile, Zen Flowchart only takes one "cloning" step. Startup called this feature "One-click Creation", helping users to save up to 50% of the time to create charts.

Finally, Zen Flowchart has built-in "Publish Document" feature, which helps users not need to download or print the chart, but just share the link to the user.

Therefore, all profits will be reinvested in product development and upgrading for at least the next 1-2 years.
