Drugstore chain Tomod's adopts the cloud-based product master "Lazuli PDP"

~Aiming to use AI to automate the maintenance of product master data and build a foundational master that can be leveraged for in-store POP, product ordering, e-commerce, analytics, and more, with high versatility~

Lazuli Inc. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Seigen Hagiwara; hereinafter Lazuli), which develops and provides the AI-powered cloud product master "Lazuli PDP," was adopted in September 2024 by Tomods Co., Ltd. (Head office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shinji Kakutani; hereinafter Tomods), which operates Western-style drugstores and dispensing pharmacies mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as an AI solution for organizing a basic product master that can be used company-wide.

Tomods operates 252 stores mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, centered on its drugstore chain "Tomod's," and also operates "Tomod's ONLINE SHOP." Until now, Tomods had not been able to begin organizing a basic master because maintaining product master data required enormous amounts of time and effort.

Therefore, by introducing "Lazuli PDP," which uses AI to automate product master maintenance, Tomods aims to collect, generate, and process the product data essential for a wide range of uses—such as e-commerce, receipt management, in-store POP, product ordering, and data analysis—and build a product master that can be used company-wide.

With the introduction of "Lazuli PDP," developed by Lazuli, which has a proprietary product information database and advanced AI/ML technologies, product information automatically collected using AI becomes available for use, eliminating the need to manually collect product data. This will make it possible to build a basic product master that enables diverse data utilization without spending human labor on product information collection or product master registration and maintenance.

※ What is Lazuli PDP?
"Lazuli PDP," developed and provided by Lazuli, is a cloud service that centrally manages product information that had been scattered across multiple external databases and organizes and links the data into a form that is easy to use. It uses AI to reconcile diverse product master data held by manufacturers, retailers, and others, and adds meta tags and related associations based on product features. This information is then provided to users through "Lazuli PDP."
