Background of Service Development

In the retail, e-commerce, and reuse industries, while the necessity of AI utilization is widely recognized, the reality is that the majority of voices express sentiments such as "I don't know where to start," "I don't know how to apply it to my business," and "The on-site team is overwhelmed with daily tasks and lacks the resources to implement AI." Meanwhile, daily operational tasks such as product registration, order processing, listing, customer service, and customer support are rapidly being replaced and automated by AI, indicating that the entire industry is facing an urgent period of transformation.

While general AI training and AI implementation support services exist in the market, there were hardly any AI support services deeply specialized in the unique business flows of the commerce industry (e.g., integrated inventory management for stores and e-commerce, product registration, order processing, in-store customer service, advertising operations, CRM).

The CommerceX Group operates its own retail, e-commerce, and reuse businesses, possessing a deep understanding of on-site business flows. By combining this practical knowledge with AI talent, we believe we can provide "truly usable AI solutions for the field" tailored to the industry, leading to the launch of this service.

"CommerceX AI" Service Overview

"CommerceX AI" is a talent assignment service where AI professionals deeply familiar with retail, e-commerce, and reuse practices participate in the client's business team. Since it is not a tool-introduction type service, clients do not need specialized AI knowledge to start, beginning with a comprehensive hearing of their overall operations.

Based on operational knowledge accumulated over many years of retail, e-commerce, and reuse business operations, CommerceX audits business processes along various supply chain elements (marketing/customer support/logistics・SCM/data analysis/data quality management/recruitment・HR/research・strategy planning, etc.), identifies and prioritizes AI-applicable tasks. It then assigns optimal AI talent for implementation and supports the verification and improvement cycle.
