PERPETUAL SALES INC Advances the Development of Its Digital Smart Retail Operations System, Laying the Foundation for Future Global Platform Expansion 2021 | A Key Milestone in the Group's Digital Development In 2021, with the continued advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and automated operations technologies, the smart retail industry gradually evolved from individual equipment sales towards digitalised, interconnected, and systematically managed operational models.

PERPETUAL SALES INC further advanced the planning and integration of its smart retail operations framework, identifying equipment management, product supply chains, inventory monitoring, logistics and distribution, and operational coordination as key areas of research in its digital development strategy. By integrating digital technologies with business processes, the Group aimed to explore the establishment of a more standardised, efficient, and scalable smart retail operations system.

Transitioning from Equipment Operations to an Integrated Digital Management System As smart retail business models continued to mature, the increasing number of devices, expanding product categories, and diversification of operational environments placed greater demands on corporate management efficiency. PERPETUAL SALES INC recognised that the future development of smart retail would depend not only on hardware equipment but also on comprehensive digital operations management capabilities.

Accordingly, the Group gradually explored the integrated planning of equipment operating information, product inventory data, logistics and distribution processes, and business management mechanisms, creating the conditions for the future establishment of a digital operations platform. Five Key Areas of Digital Operations Development

  1. Intelligent Equipment Management Exploring equipment status monitoring, remote information management, and maintenance procedures to improve operational visibility and management efficiency.

  2. Product Supply Chain Management Researching more efficient supply chain operating models, with a focus on product procurement, supplier coordination, and product allocation across retail terminals.

  3. Inventory Monitoring and Restocking Management Exploring the use of inventory data and sales records to support product restocking decisions and reduce repetitive tasks in inventory management.

  4. Logistics, Distribution, and Operational Coordination Studying coordination mechanisms between product distribution, equipment restocking, and operational task management to improve efficiency across multiple retail environments.

  5. Business Data Analysis Exploring sales data reporting, equipment performance monitoring, and product demand analysis to support future data-driven business decisions. Building the Foundation for the PSVQ Smart Retail Platform Through continued research into smart retail business processes and digital management requirements, the Group gradually clarified the development direction of its future operations platform.

These research and planning initiatives provided valuable business insights for the planning and development of the PSVQ Smart Retail Operations Platform from 2023 onwards. The Group planned to connect intelligent retail equipment, product supply chains, and operational partners through a unified digital system, progressively improving standardisation and coordinated management capabilities across its smart retail operations. Looking Ahead: Establishing the Foundation for Intelligent Operations PERPETUAL SALES INC remains committed to monitoring developments in artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and digital commerce technologies while exploring automated and platform-based management models for smart retail operations.

The development of the digital operations framework in 2021 marked a significant milestone in PSI Group's evolution from exploring smart retail strategies towards planning a comprehensive digital operations platform.
