Nitori AI technological implementations

Overview

Nitori Co., Ltd. and its parent company, Nitori Holdings, have introduced several AI-driven technological initiatives to enhance customer experience and internal operations.

In early August 2026, Nitori launched ‘Oheya no Shashin de Simulation’ (Room Photo Simulation), an AI-powered service developed with Akari Inc. This tool allows customers to upload room photos to virtually place 3D furniture models, check size compatibility, and visualize makeovers by removing existing furniture from images.

Following this consumer-facing launch, Nitori Holdings implemented an AI-driven conversational data analysis system. By migrating infrastructure to Google Cloud and utilizing BigQuery, the company enabled employees to perform complex data queries using natural language rather than specialized SQL skills. This system aims to provide deeper insights into consumer behavior and product performance to optimize inventory, reduce waste, and lower CO2 emissions.
