natCo., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: 劉 栄駿; hereinafter “ nat”) will begin Japan’s first field trial utilizing the 3D scanning app “Scanat ” in Japan for tasks such as on-site surveys 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 needed to improve service convenience and operational efficiency.

natWe have 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 space, such as in moving and warehousing operations—and have therefore been seeking a partner to conduct a joint pilot project.

Yamato Transport supports customers relocating overseas or returning from overseas assignments through its 13 branches 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.

In this project, by utilizing “Scanat ” in its overseas moving services—including preliminary site surveys—we will demonstrate how this approach standardizes the accuracy of volume measurements, improves service quality through greater transparency, and ensures a stress-free moving experience for our customers.
