Mobile Planning Partners with School Mail Service to Offer Packaged 'School Mail System' Implementation

Mobile Planning, a group company of Benefit Japan, has entered into a business partnership with School Mail Service, which develops the School Mail System, with the goal of ensuring the safety and enhancing the convenience of children in local communities.

Through this partnership, Mobile Planning will package the communication environment, card readers, and tablet terminals necessary for implementing the 'School Mail System,' promoting its widespread adoption across the country. The initiative aims to provide peace of mind to children and their families through ICT.

Mobile Planning promotes the introduction of IoT services that maximize the potential of communications, linking corporate activities to solving future challenges.

Background and Objectives of the Partnership In recent years, the demand for ICT-based monitoring services has grown rapidly due to the increase in dual-income households and heightened concern for safety during commutes to and from school.

School Mail Service's system delivers real-time notifications to parents when their children arrive at or depart from school or facilities, serving as vital infrastructure for local safety. Additionally, the mass email distribution system allows for swift and easy communication of necessary information during emergencies. However, stable operation of such systems requires a robust communication environment and appropriate hardware selection.

Leveraging its years of experience in the mobile communications business, Mobile Planning will provide a package optimized for this system, including 'communication SIMs and routers,' as well as 'card readers and dedicated tablets.' Furthermore, through the company's corporate customer network, they will strongly support the introduction of this service to educational facilities such as schools, local governments, and private tutoring schools.

Main Initiatives 1. Provision of Communication Environment and Hardware Mobile Planning will provide high-quality 'communication SIMs, routers,' and 'card readers/dedicated tablets' to ensure the stable operation of the 'School Mail System.'

2. Expansion of Sales Channels via Corporate Network Utilizing Mobile Planning's broad customer base, the company will realize faster and wider service deployment than ever before.

3. One-Stop Implementation and Operational Support By proposing everything from communication infrastructure to system implementation in a one-stop fashion, Mobile Planning will reduce the administrative burden on schools and facilities, supporting a smooth start to operations.

About the 'School Mail System' This system allows children to tap their IC cards at terminals installed at school or facility entrances, sending immediate notifications to parents' PCs, smartphones, or mobile phones. Schools that adopt this system can also use the class, grade, school, or region-wide contact network system for free. It is currently providing stable services to over 100,000 users.

● Features: Simple operability, high real-time capability, mass contact function for disasters, and various other features to protect children. ● Support Structure: Since parents' IT literacy varies and schools may struggle to manage support alongside their core duties, the system comes with a fully equipped help desk. Dedicated staff handle everything from proxy registration during implementation to inquiries from parents.
