Improve store inventory accuracy and sales, and reduce product stockouts.

Due to the routine handling of products, the inventory accuracy at the store level remains at around 60 percent. Moreover, this was the case before the pressure from omnichannel fulfillment was applied. Activating the store network, which serves as a gateway for commerce often involving digital processing for products purchased online, is a top priority for delivering the omnichannel promise to customers. By ensuring store inventory accuracy, we can expand sales, reduce the risk of stockouts, and decrease the steps involved in in-store replenishment. Using mobile functionalities designed specifically for store employees for receiving and inventory management, we can handle processes such as store replenishment, orders from the website to the store, returns, and transfers for each shipment, case, carton, or item. With omnichannel commerce, the responsibilities of store employees have expanded beyond selling and providing services to customers, including accommodating options such as purchases from the online store, shipments from the store, and shipments to the store. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

Not the wonderful experience you think, but the experience that the customer desires.

The experiences that customers seek are as diverse as individual personalities. One of the wonderful experiences that customers may envision is a sense of closeness to the brand through high-touch communication. If we could recommend products that align with their preferences based on previous purchase history, the customer's purchase rate would increase. Alternatively, if we can provide such services to customers seeking convenience, they may return to shop with us repeatedly. To serve customers better, it is essential to seamlessly integrate physical stores, online platforms, and mobile services, offering a wide range of fulfillment options from same-day shipping to home delivery. Additionally, we must not forget about customers who want to finish their shopping as quickly as possible or those who might abandon their purchases without hesitation if there are long lines at checkout. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

We have realized aerated solid culture using microorganisms with a compact tabletop device. This allows for the selection of test conditions with a small amount of raw materials, contributing to a reduction in development time and waste of test materials. It supports a wide range of research and development from basic studies in the lab to scale-up verification. This device is ideal as a first step towards extracting new value from underutilized biomass, developing new materials, and ultimately creating new industries.
