nat (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: 劉 栄駿; hereinafter nat ) is launching Japan’s first pilot project utilizing Scanat 3D scanning app Scanat for tasks such as on-site inspections for the international moving services provided by Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Yamato Transport”).

◾️ Background and Objectives

In the logistics industry, digital transformation (DX) is essential for improving service convenience and operational efficiency.

nat has developed technology that enables anyone to digitize “real-world spaces” with high precision. While this technology has been increasingly adopted in the construction, real estate, and infrastructure industries, we believe it can also contribute to the logistics industry—which involves extensive use of physical spaces, such as in moving and warehousing operations—and have therefore been seeking a partner to conduct joint pilot tests.

Yamato Transport supports customers relocating overseas or returning from overseas assignments through its 13 offices nationwide that specialize in international moving. Regarding on-site assessments for international moves, while demand for online assessments has increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges remain, such as reducing the burden on customers of measuring the volume of their belongings and ensuring an accurate understanding of the volume of belongings and the layout of their homes.

Through this initiative, we will demonstrate how utilizing Scanat for tasks such as preliminary inspections for Yamato Transport’s international moving services can standardize the accuracy of volume measurements, improve service quality through greater visibility, and ensure a stress-free moving experience for our customers.
