(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuichiro Kanai; hereinafter "JUNIOR"), which primarily operates a buying service for luxury watches and brand bags, has successfully reduced appraisal operations that previously took one hour to five minutes and resolved the industry-specific issue of reliance on individual expertise, by utilizing Salesforce technology and "Igness LAMP" provided by Igness.
Igness supports JUNIOR in achieving faster results and maximizing value from the Salesforce platform by leveraging "Igness LAMP," an AppExchange application that extends LINE official accounts with AI and Salesforce.
For JUNIOR, the "disconnection" between customer interactions on the official LINE account and customer information managed in Salesforce, as well as the "personalization" in appraisals, had been long-standing challenges.
"Igness LAMP," which enables seamless integration of information between the official LINE account and Salesforce, has realized seamless customer management tailored to on-site business and automated inquiry handling outside business hours by AI agents. Furthermore, it has established a system where even new employees can perform quick and accurate appraisals without relying on the experience and intuition of skilled buyers.
By utilizing the expertise and innovation of Salesforce and Igness, JUNIOR has enhanced the sustainability of its organization through the power of systems and has realized the delivery of highly accurate appraisals to customers more quickly.
