Idein Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koichi Nakamura), operator of the physical AI platform 'Actcast', which balances easy, frontline-driven DX with information security, and TIPLOG Inc. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Mamoru Takatsu), which provides management consulting solutions for the service industry centered on the bridal industry, have agreed on a strategic partnership aimed at implementing AI in the bridal industry.
■ Background of the Strategic Partnership and Value Provided
While DX is progressing in customer management and web attraction areas within the bridal industry, many untouched areas remain in negotiation/customer service frontlines and back-office operations. Due to the nature of handling a once-in-a-lifetime event, meetings with customers are lengthy, and carefully listening to detailed requests is essential. However, the task of manually entering the meeting contents into the system and creating accurate handover documents for various affiliated businesses such as costumes, flowers, and catering imposes a heavy administrative burden on wedding planners, becoming a structural issue in the industry.
Therefore, the two companies will promote AI implementation to solve the challenges of the bridal industry. By combining Idein's advanced AI/IoT development capabilities with TIPLOG's deep knowledge of the bridal industry, they will jointly provide solutions that solve frontline issues. As one of the specific initiatives, they will begin rolling out the customer service DX service 'Phonoscape'.
The feature of 'Phonoscape' is highly accurate sound collection and automatic transcription that does not miss bridal-specific terminology. A high-performance microphone placed on the negotiation table cuts out ambient noise such as in-store BGM, separates (distinguishes) the voices of the customer and the planner, and converts them into text. Since the microphone placed on the table automatically starts picking up sound and recording, the planner does not have to go through the trouble of pressing the record button each time. It realizes an environment where data can be acquired smoothly without increasing the frontline workload.
■ Privacy-Conscious Data Collection and Utilization
In operating 'Phonoscape' in this initiative, protecting customer privacy is given the highest priority. When recording a meeting, we will clearly state the purpose of use to the customer in advance and obtain appropriate consent before acquiring and utilizing voice data. Because the voice data is not retained within the microphone, there is no risk of data leakage even in the unlikely event the device is stolen. Furthermore, the acquired voice data and the transcribed meeting minutes are strictly managed in a secure environment. By taking sufficient privacy considerations in operations, in addition to robust security measures on the system side, we will achieve safe and secure customer service DX for both customers and employees.
