Demae-can Enhances Delivery Personnel Registration Verification with NEC Technology

Demae-can's Major Update to Delivery Personnel Verification System

Demae-can, a leading food delivery service in Japan, is set to implement a significant upgrade to its delivery personnel registration process starting March 23, 2026. This initiative will incorporate NEC's advanced Digital KYC identity verification service, ensuring a smoother and more secure onboarding experience for new delivery personnel.

In an industry where delivery personnel are the face of the service, it is crucial for platforms to maintain a high level of trust and security. With increasing demands for stringent identity verification across online platforms, Demae-can recognizes its responsibility to create a safe environment for users, partner restaurants, and delivery staff alike.

The upcoming improvements will transition the verification method from traditional photo identification to reading IC chip data from identification cards, such as My Number ID and driver’s licenses. This innovative approach significantly raises the accuracy of identity verification, making it notably difficult for fraudulent activities to occur. Moreover, these enhancements align with strict measures already in place against unauthorized use of accounts, further minimizing risks.

Key Features of the Update

1. Enhanced Verification with IC Chip Reading: The newly adopted method allows for direct reading of IC chip information embedded in My Number Cards and driver’s licenses. By retrieving detailed personal information securely from the chip, Demae-can aims to heighten verification accuracy. This change is vital in building a safer delivery network.

2. Automated Verification Processes: By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, parts of the verification process will be automated. This means that while thorough verification is conducted, efficiency is also enhanced, reducing the waiting time for delivery personnel registration without compromising on safety.

3. Strengthened Measures Against Account Misuse: With upgraded identity verification processes, Demae-can aims to reinforce protections against unauthorized use of accounts. By implementing multiple layers of oversight, the service will foster a more trustworthy environment for users, restaurants, and delivery staff, contributing to community confidence and safety in the delivery ecosystem.

Demae-can asserts that trust, rooted in the assurance of safe delivery, is fundamental to its service's foundation. The company is committed to not only updating its identity verification systems but also integrating these with existing measures, such as face recognition verification before delivery operations commence. This multifaceted approach aims not to merely create security measures but to nourish the healthy growth of the gig economy as a whole.

Moving forward, both Demae-can and NEC will continue to push boundaries in the digital verification landscape, combining convenience with safety through online identity confirmation methods that meet the demands of an ever-evolving digital society. NEC's Digital KYC has consistently ranked as a leader in accuracy through various benchmarks, and this partnership with Demae-can exemplifies its capability to deliver state-of-the-art verification solutions.

As stated by NEC, the goal is to provide seamless and secure online identity verification that responds effectively to the demands of society.
