Recently, the president and core management team of Sapporo Drugstore, a well-known Japanese cosmetics and medicine chain brand, came to China to study the advanced digital experience of the Chinese retail industry. As a technical service provider that plays an important role in promoting the digital upgrade of enterprises, ByteDance, DMALL, etc. are all included in the itinerary of this inspection and exchange, becoming the "check-in spots" for overseas retail enterprises to learn the wisdom of digital retail.

Sapporo Drugstore is a household name in Japan. It is not only a favorite cosmetics and medicine store for local Japanese consumers, but also a shopping paradise for overseas tourists, and even a check-in spot for many Chinese tourists traveling to Japan. Consumers favor this brand because they can purchase a rich variety of cost-effective products in the store, including cosmetics, medicines, health foods, daily necessities, etc. There are also many unique private label products that are widely popular. The store is often crowded with people, and even the checkout lines are long.

Facing the wave of global retail digital transformation, Sapporo Drugstore is also actively seeking a breakthrough.

During the visit, DMALL demonstrated its independently developed retail digital operating system and its practical application in the store. The system is driven by data as the core, realizing the integration of online and offline, full-channel coverage, and providing comprehensive solutions for retail enterprises in terms of members, employees, products, supply chain, store management, etc., greatly improving operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

The inspection team experienced an AI smart scale that can automatically identify products

More and more overseas retail enterprises, including some global giants, are turning their attention to China, seeking to learn from and integrate China's innovative digital retail experience to cope with market changes and achieve new development in the digital era. Sapporo Drugstore is not an isolated case. Previously, Lopia, the representative of discount supermarkets in Japan and known as the "meat category killer", has also visited DMALL to jointly explore the path of retail digital transformation. Even more retail enterprises such as Metro Europe, DFI, SM, etc. have established cooperation with DMALL.

The achievements of China's digital retail are gradually going global. Perhaps soon, when consumers go to Japanese cosmetics and medicine stores to shop, they can also check out by themselves without queuing.
