The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

ミスターマックス has been advancing the digitalisation of its store operations, while radio communications could not reach some areas and repair costs for faulty units had become an issue. As handheld terminals were converted to smartphones, the intercom function was also consolidated to unify the devices.
