Net super market & How Rakuten zenkokusuper Helps

About "Rakuten zenkokusuper"

Launched in Jan 2022, Rakuten zenkokusuper is a platform for supermarkets to run their net super services. We've partnered with major players like Seiyu, Beisia, and Inageya, as well as influential local supermarkets. We help them launch, scale, and quickly monetize their online operations, with more partners joining all the time.


A Booming Market:
The online grocery market is experiencing explosive double-digit growth, a trend set to continue.

This expansion is driven by evolving consumer needs, including an aging population and increasing dual-income households, all demanding greater convenience.


Our Mission & Impact:
Our mission is to empower local retailers and consumers through digital innovation. By making essential food shopping easier and richer, we directly improve daily life. Since supermarkets are vital to local economies, our support also fosters regional revitalization, making our work highly socially impactful.


Innovation & OMO:
In 2024, we launched the Rakuten zenkokusuper APP. This groundbreaking APP seamlessly integrates online and in-store services, all within a single interface.

This innovation addresses the growing demand for OMO (Online-Merge-Offline) solutions from supermarkets, marking another key area where we deliver significant value and drive industry change.
