"Everything You Need in One Book" Local Government Procurement Service 'Smart Government' Reiwa 8th Edition Catalog Published!

Jointex Company (hereinafter "Jointex"), an in-house company of Plus Corporation (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Tadahisa Imaizumi) that operates wholesale businesses for stationery, office supplies, office lifestyle products, and various services, published the Reiwa 8th edition new catalog for "Smart Government," a procurement service that comprehensively supports the procurement operations of local governments, on April 1, 2026.

This catalog carefully selects products required in various administrative scenes such as disaster prevention, BCP, elections, and public facilities. It achieves an overwhelming volume of 1,444 pages, an increase of 64 pages from the previous issue, and the number of listed items has increased by approximately 2,400 to about 34,000. Furthermore, the official website lists approximately 190,000 frequently used products for various scenes and has established a rapid delivery system that allows next-day delivery for orders placed by 5:30 PM. In addition, it offers a rich lineup of over 17.5 million items, including those not listed in the catalog, through EC site collaboration with various external suppliers, contributing to the one-stop procurement operations of local governments.

Moreover, Web functions supporting administrative efficiency have also evolved. New features such as a "document consolidation function" to combine separate order details into one and a "split function" to divide them by account have been released, contributing to the reduction of transfer fees and the burden of budget management. Moving forward, as an "administrative reform partner," we will continue to support the creation of an environment where local government officials can concentrate on their core public services through the expansion of our unique services.

■ "Solving 'tasks/scenes to use' with design! An at-a-glance layout

We have introduced "category headings" that enhance convenience by matching usage scenes and target users, such as "evacuation center supplies" and "resident distribution items." We also adopted a layout that allows even first-time users to select products without hesitation, with a category structure based on sales rankings and enhanced spec comparison tables. We focused on a thoroughly user-friendly catalog design so that users can quickly reach their desired page even during busy work hours.

■ Dramatically reduce the burden of administrative work! Smart Web collaboration functions

Newly equipped with document consolidation and splitting functions that fulfill requests such as "I want to combine invoices into one" and "I want to split them by budget account"! Web bulk download is also possible, realizing paperless operations and time savings simultaneously.

■ "Field/Work Supplies (MRO)" featured in 45 pages

"Field/Work Supplies (MRO)," which were frequently requested by officials, are featured in a large 45-page special. We pursued the convenience of "everything in one book," from specialized tools to cleaning and packaging materials.

■ Comprehensive proposals for disaster prevention and BCP measures

The 148-page disaster prevention special covers preparations for weather disasters and earthquakes. In addition to providing goods, it also includes solutions that support operations, such as the inventory management system "BxLink+" and the AI-powered FAQ system "Fureai Concierge." "Category headings" are devised to allow more intuitive selection of evacuation center supplies and resident distribution items.

"Always used. So, no hesitation even in an emergency."

"Smart Government" aims to be a partner that supports regional safety and efficient administrative operations, going beyond a mere place for purchasing goods. From a single piece of daily stationery to emergency supplies in times of disaster, we will continue to support your "work" more smartly and warmly, hand in hand with local retailers.

We sincerely hope that the new catalog will be of assistance to your wonderful public services.
