The reasons the company gives

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

As the number of stores has grown, inquiries have increased, creating an issue with the time required to handle them for both the stores and headquarters. The system is intended to create an environment in which store staff can resolve issues at any time, regardless of headquarters' operating hours or whether the person responsible for answering is available, thereby reducing the workload of headquarters personnel and improving operational efficiency.
