TOKIUM Inc. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenichi Kurosaki; hereinafter "TOKIUM"), which provides an accounting AI agent, announced that Bookoff Group Holdings Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Sagamihara City, Kanagawa; President and CEO: Yasutaka Horiuchi; hereinafter "Bookoff") has implemented TOKIUM Contract Management and TOKIUM AI New Lease Determination in preparation for the new lease accounting standards.
■ Background
Bookoff operates approximately 840 reuse shops, including "BOOKOFF," both domestically and internationally. The company had many contracts that could be subject to the new lease accounting standards, including real estate lease contracts for its stores, making compliance an urgent issue. In addition, taking the opportunity of responding to the new lease accounting standards, they were also considering the maintenance of their contract management system, which created a need for the introduction of a contract management system.
■ Reasons for Selection
The deciding factor for TOKIUM Contract Management was that it acts as an agent to scan past contracts. The ability to request a consistent service from digitizing paper contracts to centralizing contract management on the system and storing the originals was highly evaluated. Furthermore, the fact that it is equipped with a lease determination function using AI was an additional push.
The company is also looking ahead to handling billing and payment operations with TOKIUM in the future. Therefore, in addition to responding to the new lease accounting standards, the ability to cover a wide range of accounting operations was another reason for selection.
■ Comment from Mr. Takayasu Okamura, General Manager, Corporate Governance Promotion Department, Bookoff Group Holdings Co., Ltd.
In responding to the new lease accounting standards, we judged that manual response would be difficult because our company manages a large number of contracts, so we proceeded with our consideration on the premise of introducing a system from the beginning. With TOKIUM Contract Management, we can handle everything consistently from scanning past contracts on our behalf to centralized management. Furthermore, because it is equipped with a lease determination function by AI, we expect that the response to the new lease accounting standards will be streamlined. In addition, we also found TOKIUM's functional aspects attractive in billing and payment operations, and we would like to expand the use of TOKIUM in these areas in the future.
