CEO Shohei Shimoda’s Message

"In Japan, an estimated 54,000 tons of paper are consumed annually for receipts. Even with the legal framework now supporting digital receipts and smartphones reaching 80% adoption, paper receipts remain the norm. ReceiptRoller was founded to challenge this status quo.

By utilizing Microsoft’s technology, we aim to conserve resources for the present and future generations while addressing pressing social issues. We are deeply grateful to Microsoft for supporting our mission to create a sustainable society."

Digital receipts can also connect directly with accounting systems, simplifying expense reporting for business purchases.
