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.

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.*

A system for driver terminals has been realized through API integration, promoting the optimization of the delivery process and improvement of services to customers. Seino Information Service Co., Ltd. and Briskola Co., Ltd. announce that they have adopted Briskola's full lifecycle API management product "BAMs Series" for the construction of a system utilizing APIs and the management of API connections with various business applications for driver terminals, aimed at improving delivery efficiency and achieving digitalization of logistics for Seino Transportation Co., Ltd. and transportation groups nationwide. By implementing Briskola's "BAMs Series" for API management in the delivery management system constructed through API integration, we will focus on responding to the expected increase in the number of API calls due to the anticipated increase in terminal numbers, as well as ensuring stable system operation and preventive detection. This will lead to improved operational efficiency for drivers and the provision of high-quality services to customers sending and receiving packages.

In this case study, we have received cooperation from Obayashi Corporation and Sankyu Inc., leaders at the forefront of the construction and logistics industries, to introduce their specific initiatives regarding "early detection of heatstroke risk" and "ensuring worker safety." Additionally, we have published an interview article with Obayashi Corporation, who contributed to the development of "GenVital LTE," as a "development story." As heatstroke risk has become a social issue, we encourage everyone in companies working on improving on-site productivity and safety measures for workers to read this for insights. GRIFFY will continue to contribute to creating safer and more comfortable working environments through DX solutions, including "GenVital LTE." ◾️ Obayashi Corporation (case study) ◾️ Sankyu Inc.

We conducted an RTK accuracy verification of the GNSS reference station (Hi-Target Vnet6plus receiver + choke ring antenna) installed at our company building. Generally, with a single-frequency GNSS, once the baseline length exceeds 10 km, it becomes impossible to consider the path through the ionosphere as the same, and the difference in ionospheric delay becomes a significant source of error. By using dual-frequency GNSS, it is possible to correct the delay based on the differences in delay caused by the frequency of the radio waves; however, it is still said to be effective only up to about 10 km. Why is that? We have published the verification results on our blog.
