Synops aims to contribute to the development of the distribution industry by providing IT solutions for inventory management. Synops operates as a single business segment called the "sinops business," offering four types of services: cloud services, package sales, implementation support services, and support services.

The cloud service provides "sinops-CLOUD," which supports real-time inventory management, demand forecasting, automatic ordering, and store operations improvement. Users can minimize initial costs while achieving implementation benefits quickly. Specific benefits include reduced ordering time and stockout rates, as well as decreased markdowns and disposal losses.

Package sales offer industry-specific software such as "sinops-R6" for retail, "sinops-W" for wholesale, and "sinops-M" for manufacturing. This approach allows Synops to present concrete cost-benefit analyses based on customer data and clearly demonstrate implementation advantages.

Implementation support services assist companies adopting Synops systems by providing data integration with core systems and operational setup support. This enables client companies to maximize the benefits of "sinops." This service is provided to all companies using cloud services or package sales.

Support services provide daily inquiry responses, operational monitoring, and recovery assistance during system failures to companies that have implemented the "sinops series." This ensures that client companies can operate their systems stably.

Synops' "sinops series" offers diverse products for retail, wholesale, and manufacturing industries. Examples include "sinops-CLOUD" and "sinops-R" for retail, "sinops-W" for wholesale, and "sinops-M" for manufacturing. These products achieve operational efficiency and cost reduction through inventory management and demand forecasting.

Sinops provides IT solutions for inventory management and aims to contribute to society by making effective use of limited resources. In particular, the company is rolling out the "sinops series," an AI service for distribution businesses, to optimize inventory across the three distribution layers of retail, wholesale, and manufacturing.

Sinops is leveraging its track record of implementations in food supermarkets and has set a strategy to expand its business from demand forecasting-based automated ordering to demand forecasting utilization DX across the entire Demand Chain Management (DeCM). This aims to improve store operational productivity and optimize logistics and production planning.

The company is targeting a 40% market share in food retail, while promoting logistics optimization for wholesalers and production planning optimization for manufacturers. It is also providing new services that leverage demand forecasting and inventory information to drive upselling and cross-selling with existing customers.

Sinops is deploying the "sinops-WLMS" series, an AI service for human resource maximization, to support labor hour improvements in food supermarkets. This achieves shorter working hours and increased sales while addressing chronic labor shortages.

Furthermore, Sinops is advancing sustainability-focused management and reducing food waste through inventory optimization. Through joint research with Tokyo Metropolitan University, the company is investigating the environmental impact of sinops utilization and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
