Nebraska Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takuya Yokoyama; hereinafter "Nebraska") is pleased to announce that it has completed its third round of funding and welcomed new shareholders.
In this round, in addition to further investment from existing shareholders, new investors also participated. Based on the funds raised this time, Nebraska will strengthen its product development system and expand its sales system, further accelerating the widespread adoption of "Digitale Store," its unmanned solution for retail.
Nebraska provides "Digitale Store," a solution that realizes unmanned and labor-saving retail stores through digitalization of entry/exit management, payments, and store operations. In the retail industry, where labor shortages and rising wages are becoming serious, the company aims to be the "store infrastructure for the era of labor shortages" that supports sustainable store operations.
## Background of Fundraising
In Japan's retail industry, increasing store operating costs due to chronic labor shortages and rising wages have become a major management challenge. Especially in rural areas and during nighttime hours, securing personnel is difficult, and cases of shortened business hours and store closures are increasing, further boosting the need for labor-saving and unmanned operations.
Nebraska has supported retail businesses in improving profitability and store continuity by providing a new store operation model utilizing unmanned technology to address these challenges. The purpose of this fundraising is to strengthen product development, sales systems, and implementation support systems to further expand adoption.
## Overview of "Digitale Store"
"Digitale Store" is not just a system for completely unmanned stores, but a "hybrid operation solution" that combines manned and unmanned operations. By enabling unmanned operations during traditionally closed hours, times when manned operations are unprofitable, and even on holidays, it realizes a flexible operation model tailored to the challenges of each store.
Furthermore, upon entry, customers can read a QR code near the store entrance with their smartphone and register the store's official LINE account as a friend to enter. By eliminating the need for app installation or email address registration, it aims to balance user-friendliness with the security required for unmanned operations.
