Streamlining EC Sales Data Management

In an increasingly digital retail environment, effective data management is crucial for success. Recently, Bizgem Co., Ltd., headquartered in Bunkyo, Tokyo, led by CEO Koutarou Higuchi, announced the commencement of an integration initiative between its centralized management SaaS, StoreRecord, and Branshes Co., Ltd.'s core operational system. This integration focuses on automating the consolidation of e-commerce sales data from various channels, such as ZOZO TOWN, company EC, Rakuten, and more, which were previously collected via manual uploads or RPA processes.

Addressing Operational Challenges

Branshes has historically relied on their core systems to automatically integrate sales data from physical stores. However, they faced significant challenges with data from various e-commerce platforms, which required manual entry or RPA, leading to issues such as:

• - Team Dependence: Over-reliance on specific personnel for data uploads, resulting in high turnover costs.
• - Maintenance Difficulties: Trouble adapting to specification changes and format updates, which need continuous attention.
• - Reflection Lead Time: Increased workload, especially just before reporting periods, delayed timely decision-making due to data collection processes taking longer than expected.

To overcome these issues, Branshes sought to leverage the StoreRecord platform, which already collects and standardizes EC sales data. The recent development allows for this data to be reversed integrated into their core systems, thus automating the sales reporting process and minimizing human intervention during errors.

Enhancing Efficiency

With the implementation of this integration, Branshes can now experience automated reflections of EC sales in their core system. This transition not only helps eliminate potential errors that required manual resolution but also simplifies maintenance burdens since any necessary specification changes are managed on the StoreRecord side. Consequently, this results in a seamless operational flow tailored to the retail business’s dynamic needs.

Future Horizons

Looking ahead, Bizgem plans to expand their core system integration for enterprise-level companies, standardizing the visibility of various business metrics on the StoreRecord platform. This strategic move aims to facilitate swift decision-making and foster sustainable business practices among retailers, contributing positively to their operational integrity and efficiency.

What is StoreRecord?

StoreRecord is a SaaS tool designed to centralize key management data needed for retail operations, including sales, expenses, procurement, and inventory. Previously, retail management systems often required expensive ERP implementations. However, with StoreRecord, businesses can manage their data economically, starting from just 20,000 yen per month, making efficient management accessible to a wider range of retail businesses.
