'Jidouhanbaiki JP' (Vending Machine JP), operated by Pulsar Co., Ltd., has installed the refrigerated locker-type vending machine 'F-40LVM' at 'Berry Road Co., Ltd.' (Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), a producer and seller of high-quality strawberries.

This installation is expanding as an option for agricultural sales, balancing labor-saving through a 24-hour 'unmanned direct sales stand' and the need for non-face-to-face transactions.

Providing Delicate 'Strawberries' in a Delicious State

Berry Road Co., Ltd., which has 'Kaorino' as its main variety and is loved by the local community for its thorough cultivation management, harbored the desire to 'easily deliver the deliciousness of freshly picked strawberries from the farm to customers at any time.'

However, balancing quality management and sales operations was a major challenge. This included securing sales opportunities outside the direct sales stand's business hours and maintaining the freshness and flavor of delicate strawberries when temperatures rise.

'F-40LVM': Maintaining Freshness and Increasing the Profitability of Unmanned Sales

The introduction of the refrigerated locker-type vending machine 'F-40LVM' is expected to provide the following benefits:

- Loss reduction through appropriate temperature management: The refrigeration function allows for temperature management tailored to the fruit, suppressing the influence of outside temperatures and maintaining freshness, aiming to reduce waste.

- Expansion of sales opportunities (24-hour operation): Establishing a system where customers can purchase fresh strawberries even outside business hours, capturing non-face-to-face needs at night and early in the morning.

- Concentration of labor and time on the core business: Establishing a new sales channel without increasing sales staff, creating an environment where producers can focus on their primary task of cultivating high-quality strawberries.

This machine, which is expected to visually enhance purchasing motivation with its transparent lockers, is also an effective tool for businesses handling other delicate foods such as sweets and side dishes, realizing unmanned sales while maintaining quality.

Aiming for a Sustainable Form of Regional Agriculture

This initiative at Berry Road Co., Ltd. is an example of agricultural sales efficiency, connecting producers' dedication and consumers' convenience through technology.

Pulsar Co., Ltd. will continue to support businesses nationwide aiming to streamline existing businesses and develop new sales channels through vending machine technology.
