シノプス to launch pilot of “AI demand forecasting × automated delivery,” overturning conventional wisdom on automated ordering

シノプス will begin a pilot of its new “Automated Delivery (provisional name)” service at selected ぎゅーとら stores and for selected product categories. The service eliminates the need for stores to confirm or amend orders, with AI handling the entire process from ordering through delivery. During the pilot, シノプス will compensate for any increase in markdowns and disposal losses caused by automated ordering, subject to agreed caps and other conditions.
