Software that co-evolves with people
PKSHA Enterprise AI is software that improves accuracy together with people, using algorithms researched and developed by PKSHA Research. It smoothly integrates into existing operations and reduces the workload according to the amount of use. Rather than taking away people's work, the software learns from people's wisdom and knowledge and passes it on to the organization.
Future of Retail
How will the retail and distribution industry be reshaped in the future? The retail and distribution industry is in the midst of a whirlwind of major changes, such as changing consumer preferences and the shift to e-commerce, which has accelerated in the wake of COVID-19.
At the same time, however, there are still major inefficiencies in the industry. For example, it is estimated that more than 6 million tons of food is lost annually in Japan because it is not delivered to consumers' mouths. Together with our partners, we are committed to supporting the healthy development of the industry as a whole and contributing to a richer purchasing experience for people by using the power of software to not only improve the productivity of each player in the industry, but also to eliminate friction between them.
