Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Japanese store-management system that records the full buying workflow, from paper application forms and identity checks to inventory, wholesale settlement, and gross-profit calculation.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-22 issue.

Why it surfaced

BANTOU is unusually specific about the realities of secondhand retail: it preserves existing paper forms, uses AI to read them, tracks legal records and identity-document retention, and builds compliance into the daily workflow. The site also gives a clear commercial proposition—¥15,000 per month, no setup fee, no feature limits, and no minimum term.
