株式会社JUNIOR, Igness and Salesforce Achieve AI-Powered Appraisal Efficiency and Enhanced Customer Experience Simultaneously

Igniss Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Takuma Ogura; hereinafter referred to as "Igniss"), which promotes the AI-native transformation of companies, announced today that JUNIOR Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuichiro Kanai; hereinafter referred to as "JUNIOR"), a company primarily engaged in the buying service of luxury watches and brand bags, has reduced its appraisal operations from one hour to five minutes using Salesforce technology and "Igness LAMP" provided by Igniss, thereby resolving the long-standing issue of personalization in the industry.

Igniss is supporting JUNIOR to achieve faster results and maximize value from the Salesforce platform by utilizing "Igness LAMP," an AppExchange application that extends LINE Official Accounts with AI and Salesforce.

For JUNIOR, the "fragmentation" of customer interactions via their official LINE account and customer information managed in Salesforce, along with the "personalization" of appraisals, had been long-standing challenges.

With "Igness LAMP," which enables seamless integration of information between their official LINE and Salesforce, they have achieved seamless customer management tailored to their business operations and automated off-hours inquiry responses using AI agents. Furthermore, they have established a system where even new employees can perform appraisals quickly and accurately, without relying on the experience of seasoned buyers.

By leveraging the expertise and innovation of Salesforce and Igniss, JUNIOR has enhanced the sustainability of its organization through the power of its systems and has been able to deliver high-precision appraisals to customers more quickly.

JUNIOR's Comment

Yuichiro Kanai, Representative Director of JUNIOR Co., Ltd., stated:

"Appraisal is the most crucial operation in our business, and until now, much of it depended on the experience and intuition of our seasoned buyers. By introducing Igness LAMP, we can now manage customer interactions via LINE and customer data in Salesforce on a single screen. Moreover, AI instantly analyzes and presents our company's appraisal data and market information, significantly improving operational efficiency. While the speed of information gathering and analysis has dramatically increased with AI, the final decision-making and customer interaction are always handled by humans. We feel that by collaborating with AI and people, we are achieving both faster and more accurate appraisals and sincere customer service that is attentive to our customers' needs.">

Igniss's Comment

Takuma Ogura, Representative Director and CEO of Igniss Inc., stated:

"Through this initiative, we have resolved the personalization issue in appraisal operations, a long-standing challenge in the used goods industry, and significantly improved both operational efficiency and customer experience. Igness LAMP was developed with the aim of evolving corporate customer touchpoints by integrating LINE, the closest communication channel to customers, with Salesforce customer data through AI. For companies like JUNIOR, by utilizing AI and data even in highly specialized operations, we can accumulate experience-dependent judgments as organizational knowledge and build an environment where anyone can provide high-quality service. As a member of the Salesforce ecosystem, we will continue to support the advancement of corporate customer touchpoints and the AI-native transformation of operations.">
