The Company will launch Japan's first smartphone automatic assessment and purchase service on Saturday, December 7, 2019. This service is characterized by installing dedicated terminals in the store and automating tasks that were previously performed manually.

According to the instructions on the screen, when the smartphone is connected to the dedicated terminal, the manufacturer and model number are determined, and based on the photographed photos, AI technology is used to check for scratches and dents, and the assessment is performed automatically. If you want to buy after checking the assessment result, the smartphone is collected as it is and the result is sent to the store staff. After the purchase price and identity verification are completed at the store counter, you can receive the price in cash.
The time required for the assessment is a minimum of about 3 minutes, and you can feel free to conduct a trial assessment.

First, we will introduce them to two stores: EDION Namba MAIN STORE EDION Central Kansai East Osaka Store, and gradually increase the number of stores.

The details are as follows.
