Takachiho Koheki Launches 'Backyard Signage' to Enable DX for Retail Store Information Sharing

Takachiho Koheki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takanobu Ide; Securities Code: 2676; hereinafter 'the Company') has begun offering 'Backyard Signage,' manufactured by Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd.

This product is a solution designed to streamline information sharing in retail store backyards and support the digital transformation (DX) of store operations.

[Background]

In the retail industry, factors such as labor shortages, diversification of work styles, an increase in short-term staff, and heightened awareness of personal information protection have brought many challenges to the surface regarding on-site information sharing, training, and security management. While information can be transmitted to full-time employees quickly via PCs and smartphones, it is difficult to provide such devices to part-time staff. Consequently, stores have remained dependent on verbal communication and paper media. This has led to issues such as operational errors due to missed communications, reliance on individual knowledge for training, increased management burdens, and security risks.

[Overview of Backyard Signage]

'Backyard Signage' is an information-sharing solution that delivers necessary information from headquarters or store managers to staff easily and securely via digital signage installed in the store's backyard. Notices, bulletins, manuals, images, and PDFs registered through a management web portal can be distributed to each store instantly.

[Key Features]

✓ Easy and reliable information sharing: Instant distribution of information registered via the management portal.

✓ Improved operational efficiency and security through paperless processes.

✓ Two-way communication via a whiteboard function.

✓ UI design focused on visibility and ease of use.

✓ Scalability through integration with external systems (optional).
