Talos Systems Inc. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Ken Nakamura), which develops and provides "Talos NEX," a POS system specialized for the reuse industry with over 1,900 stores implemented nationwide, has begun offering the "Digital Ledger Option," which digitizes in-store purchasing operations and achieves complete paperless management of antique ledgers.
By introducing this option, reuse stores can establish a smart reception system using tablet devices. This frees them from the cumbersome tasks of creating handwritten ledgers and managing identity verification documents, simultaneously improving service quality and dramatically reducing operating costs.
## Background: The Wall of "Analog Operations" Troubling Reuse Stores
In the growing reuse market, which has expanded to a scale of 3.2 trillion yen, in-store purchasing is the lifeline for procurement. However, the creation and management of "antique ledgers" based on the Secondhand Articles Dealer Act is a strict obligation, and many sites still face the following challenges that burden store operations:
- Entry errors/omissions: Risks of transcription errors due to handwriting and omissions of required fields.
- Management costs: Securing storage space for large volumes of paper slips and the burden of managing them for the statutory period.
- Low searchability: Enormous time spent searching for relevant documents during police inspections or past transaction inquiries.
Talos Systems accelerates DX (Digital Transformation) in the reuse industry by completing these analog operations on in-store tablets.
## Main Functions and Features of the "Digital Ledger Option"
1. Smart Tablet Reception and Calling
By performing reception on a tablet installed in the store, a smooth customer flow is established, preventing customers from waiting. This also prevents staff from missing calls, contributing to an improved UX (customer experience).
2. Digital Presentation of Assessment Estimates (Improved Conversion Rate)
Assessment results are directly presented to customers on the tablet screen. Visually sharing specific reasons and breakdowns increases customer satisfaction with the purchase content and promotes smooth agreement (conversion).
3. Instant Data Conversion via Electronic Signature
After agreeing to the assessment, customers can sign directly on the tablet. Since the data is immediately saved to the system, there is no need for filling out paper application forms or filing them.
4. Digital Registration of Identity Verification Documents
