BUSICOM to Debut Innovative Retail Solutions at RETAIL TECH JAPAN 2026

BUSICOM Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is excited to announce its participation in one of Japan's largest exhibitions for the retail industry, RETAIL TECH JAPAN 2026, taking place from March 3 to 6, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. The company aims to revolutionize retail operations with its theme “Connecting All for DX Solutions” at its booth in the Total Distribution Information System area.

As the retail environment evolves, BUSICOM has developed a range of innovative solutions to tackle pressing challenges, including labor shortages and compliance with new tax exemption laws set to take effect in November 2026. Attendees will have the opportunity to compare and experience a variety of these solutions firsthand, which promise to enhance operational efficiency and security.

Highlighted Products

1. Self-Checkout Solutions (Full-service and Semi-service)

Full-service Checkout: This fully automated solution empowers customers to complete their transactions from product registration to payment independently. It not only significantly reduces the need for staff but also incorporates real-time video displays at checkout for enhanced security.

Semi-service Checkout: In this model, staff members assist with product registration while customers handle the payment process. This approach maintains a high level of customer service during transactions while streamlining operations.

Both models will be available for real-time comparison, allowing retailers to identify the best fit for their operational model and staffing strategies.

2. New Tax Exemption Touch PC - Seav-ME

One of the standout products on display will be the compact Seav-ME, which features a built-in receipt printer and supports passport scanning for seamless tax exemption processes. Designed for efficiency, it is the perfect addition to any retail counter, featuring multiple passport reader options to streamline the inbound customer experience.

3. Tax Exemption System - e-Auto Tax Exemption

With the new tax exemption laws looming, BUSICOM’s e-Auto Tax Exemption system will ensure compliance and efficiency in handling the new refund method. This system integrates with POS terminals to create a streamlined process from sale to tax exemption, substantially reducing the workload on staff.

Store Solutions and Hardware

BUSICOM will also showcase an array of store solutions, including the BCPOS system, compact POS registers like Real Register, and the member app Mise-Megu. These solutions are tailored to suit various retail environments, be they large or small, and can be adapted to fit different budgets and operational styles.

The hardware on display will include advanced touch panel PCs running on Windows 11 and mobile terminals designed for logistics and manufacturing. Attendees can try out various devices, such as the 27-inch BigTouch, which serves multiple purposes, including ticket vending and floor guidance.
