Ocean, Inc.

Connecting the store checkout with the refund process

Ocean Tax Refund helps Japanese stores manage refund-based tax-free shopping. The Tokyo company connects its platform with financial institutions and point-of-sale providers so retailers can adapt their checkout and refund operations.

Alongside the transaction workflow, Ocean is developing marketing programmes to help participating stores attract international visitors and encourage repeat visits. This extends the retailer's customer relationship beyond a single tourist purchase.
