milunio, the world’s first e-commerce website featuring an odor visualization sensor to allow users to choose and search products by aroma
milunio is the world’s first e-commerce website that allows consumers to select and search products by aroma. Consumers can search, choose and compare products based on aroma.
The biggest feature of this website is that products carry aroma code, an aroma-visualizing smart label developed by Aroma Bit.
aroma code is a smart label that visualizes product aroma as a digital pattern based on measurement with an odor visualization sensor developed by Aroma Bit. Products with similar aroma code patterns have similar aroma, and those with different patterns have different aroma. aroma code is a groundbreaking next-generation smart label that allows people to see the odor as if smelling it.
For consumers, it enables search and purchase of new products that they are not familiar with. For example, they can look for a product that has aroma similar to what they like at half price. This offers a new shopping experience and opportunity to discover products based on aroma, which was not possible in conventional e-commerce websites.
A benefit for sellers is that they can get new sales opportunities that would otherwise be lost because they can help consumers discover products that they would want to buy if they know the aroma of the products before purchase. aroma code provides a new tool for communication and promotion that conveys the aroma of products, which embodies their uniqueness or characteristics, to consumers digitally, visually and intuitively. This is expected to help sellers cost-efficiently create opportunities for consumers to discover and purchase products without spending a heavy promotion cost for tasting as consumers can see the aroma (flavor) of products before purchase.
By offering coffee labeled with aroma code, which is a visual tie to coffee aroma, Aroma Bit and Hisamitsu Coffee will suggest a new way for coffee enthusiasts to enjoy, choose, discover, and sensitively connect with coffee focusing on aroma, and will create entirely new product value for coffee.
milunio is currently available in Japan only (Aroma Bit plans to expand globally).
