Comments from CEO of {RECEIPT}ROLLER, Sho Shimoda

As much as 54,000 tons of receipt paper is consumed in Japan annually. Even today, with the legal basis for using electronic receipts in place and the smartphone penetration rate at over 80%, paper receipts are still very much in use. We have launched {RECEIPT}ROLLER in order to change this existing ecosystem. Microsoft's technology will enable our contribution to solving social problems, to conserve resources for people today and generations to come. We are very grateful to receive Microsoft's support for this project, aiming to create a sustainable society.
