Minato City, Tokyo, Introduces On-site DX Service "KANNA" at Each Regional General Branch Office

Aldagram Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hikaru Nagahama; hereinafter, Aldagram) announces that its on-site DX service "KANNA" has been selected for introduction by Minato City, Tokyo (Mayor: Ai Seike; hereinafter, Minato City) at its five regional general branch offices, starting April 1, 2026.

### Challenges and Background
Minato City's Urban Development Division faced challenges in managing a wide range of civil engineering facilities with limited personnel. These included the complexity of data sharing among multiple stakeholders and business stagnation due to information management relying on individuals. In addition to improving daily operational efficiency, there was also a need to establish a system for smooth information sharing among stakeholders for rapid infrastructure recovery during disasters.
In this context, "KANNA" was adopted for a pilot project because of its intuitive operability, regardless of IT skills, and its ability to complete information sharing, including field photos and documents, without complex procedures.

### Results
The pilot project confirmed that "KANNA"'s operability and functions are suitable for municipal operations. It also demonstrated significant potential for streamlined communication among stakeholders, collaboration with external parties, improved daily operational efficiency, and accelerated information dissemination during disasters.
Furthermore, a survey conducted among staff and stakeholders involved in the pilot project at each regional general branch office yielded positive evaluations regarding the ease of sharing photos and documents via "KANNA" and the speed of information sharing among stakeholders.
Based on the insights gained from the pilot project, the introduction of "KANNA" will commence on April 1, 2026, at the five regional general branch offices within Minato City.

### Comment from the Person in Charge
**Ms. Yoko Iizuka, Section Chief, Civil Engineering, Urban Development Division, Azabu Regional General Branch Office, Minato City**
The Urban Development Division handles numerous construction projects daily, and the complex communication adjustments with stakeholders and the management of vast amounts of photo data were significant burdens. After introducing "KANNA" through the pilot project, we experienced a substantial reduction in email and phone calls, as real-time information sharing became possible. The survey also showed that 100% of respondents felt it "leads to business efficiency," confirming it as an indispensable tool for improving on-site productivity. Therefore, we decided to fully implement it in the Urban Development Divisions of all five regional general branch offices. Moving forward, we aim to utilize it not only for improving daily operational efficiency but also for rapid situation assessment and establishing command systems during disasters, thereby building a robust infrastructure management system that supports the safety and security of Minato City residents.
