Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to announce dreams. This press release is the dream of "and・more Inc."
■ There are plenty of goods, but not enough job opportunities.
The functional shoe brand "and・more" (andmore) has been developing and selling products primarily waterproof and slip-resistant shoes, utilizing crowdfunding, and has received over 60.46 million yen in support to date.
We have established a shipping system that could not be realized by one person, achieving a sustainable manufacturing model.
■ Not making to sell, but creating jobs by delivering.
By adopting a "produce only what is needed" style, we thoroughly ensure operations without excess inventory.
On the other hand, inspection, packaging, and shipping after receiving orders were a significant burden for one person to handle.
■ A new system in collaboration with employment support facilities
To solve this problem,
for the new product "Landiver Glove" in the waterproof series,
the processes of inspection, labeling, packaging, and shipping
are carried out in collaboration with "Phoenix Support" (Chuo-ku, Osaka), a Type A continuous employment support facility for people with disabilities.
This has established a system that "turns the delivery process itself into work."
