SBC, Recruiting Companies with 'Smart Store Technology'... "Strengthening Small Business Competitiveness"

[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 11th that it is recruiting companies that possess smart store technologies applicable to small business establishments. The application period is until the 25th of this month.

The companies being recruited this time are those that have smart technologies such as smart mirrors, serving robots, kiosks, and mobile-based contactless order payment systems known as smart order technology. To increase utilization by small business owners, the Small Enterprise and Market Service is recruiting technologies applicable by small business type (wholesale/retail, restaurants, etc.) for smart technologies, and by order type (app-based, etc.) for smart order systems.

The Small Enterprise and Market Service plans to recruit companies with smart store technologies and form a pool to guide small business owners. Information about the companies and technologies finally selected through the technology evaluation process will be provided to small business owners in the form of a data booklet.

Although the need for smartization of small businesses has increased due to contactless and digitalization trends, small business owners still lack information about smart store technologies. Additionally, companies possessing smart technologies face difficulties in securing sales channels, which is the background of this project, according to the Small Enterprise and Market Service.

Jo Bonghwan, Director of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, stated, "With changes in consumption and distribution environments, smartization of small business establishments has become a necessity rather than a choice," and added, "We will continue to promote projects that can strengthen the competitiveness of small business stores."
