Ocean Design Fully Implements 360-Degree Image Listings for Sales Vehicles

AOZORA COMPANY Co., Ltd. (operating brand "Ocean Design") announced on May 9, 2026, that it has begun the full-scale implementation of a "360-degree image listing feature" for vehicles posted online. This initiative allows customers to freely view vehicles from 360 degrees on their smartphones or PCs, enabling a more detailed inspection of the exterior condition and interior space than ever before. In recent years, consumer purchasing behavior in the used car market has changed significantly, with a rapidly expanding customer base conducting everything from online information gathering to purchase consideration. A key issue, particularly among female business professionals aged 20 to 60, was the anxiety of "not being able to see the actual car" and the difficulty in "understanding scratches and signs of use." The company has already been promoting a sales strategy focused on transparency, by increasing the number of photos and actively disclosing scratches and dents. The newly introduced 360-degree image feature allows for checking the vehicle from all angles—up, down, left, and right—providing a detailed understanding of its three-dimensional feel, size, and body condition, which is difficult to convey with standard photos alone. This creates an environment where customers from afar or busy business professionals who find it difficult to visit the store can choose a vehicle with greater peace of mind online. The company offers nationwide in-house auto loan sales, and the ratio of online negotiations and contracts is increasing year by year. This enhancement of 360-degree listings is a crucial part of providing a purchasing experience close to being in-store for customers nationwide. Furthermore, by enhancing its warranty system, road service, and after-sales support network through nationwide affiliated factories, the company is building a comprehensive used car sales system that ensures not only pre-purchase transparency but also post-purchase peace of mind. AOZORA COMPANY Co., Ltd. will continue to aim for quality improvement in online sales within the used car industry through information disclosure and technology utilization. 【Company Overview】 Company Name: AOZORA COMPANY Co., Ltd.
