■ What is Japan's first 'Package Pickup Service: Toriiku' ...?

'Toriiku' is Japan's first innovative service where users (package recipients) can safely and securely pick up their packages at their preferred time at 'Toriiku Spots' (unstaffed 'drop-off spots' for packages) located along their daily routes, while earning points.

Last year, Every WiLL Inc. promoted the demonstration and service development of 'Toriiku' as a subsidized operator under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's 'Project for Promoting the Spread of Diverse Receiving Methods*'.

Because it does not deliver packages to individual homes, it is also known as a logistics service that doesn't deliver packages ('Toriiku'), and it is an innovative service that continues to win various awards.

*Project for Promoting the Spread of Diverse Receiving Methods

**[Benefits for Each Stakeholder]**

- **Benefits for the person receiving the package (individual):** Freed from time constraints for receiving packages, they can pick them up safely and contactless at any time they like, while receiving rewards (electronic points). Packages are monitored and managed 24 hours a day by AI cameras and devices, ensuring security. - **Benefits for delivery companies/drivers:** Because multiple packages can be delivered together to this spot, the number of delivery destinations decreases, improving delivery efficiency. Furthermore, for deliveries to this spot, redeliveries become zero, significantly reducing the workload on drivers. - **Benefits for real estate owners such as stores/public facilities:** It is possible to utilize narrow unused spaces (from 1.5 tsubo) that cannot be rented to tenants to create foot traffic and attract customers. It can create a continuous motive for consumers to visit the store, starting with 'picking up a package'. In a demonstration experiment conducted with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism last year, 28% of Toriiku users made 'impulse purchases' at the installation stores, contributing to increased foot traffic and sales for the stores. It is also possible to bring people to public facilities and contribute to regional revitalization. - **Social significance:** It simultaneously achieves the reduction of the burden on delivery drivers and increases the sustainability of local logistics infrastructure, the reduction of greenhouse gases by decreasing the mileage of delivery vehicles, the creation of foot traffic to stores, apartment complexes, and public facilities, the effective utilization of these unused spaces (from 1.5 tsubo), and the suppression of crimes originating from package deliveries (such as theft of drop-off packages).

■ Message from CEO Sudo

'Home delivery', where packages always arrive at your home, is very convenient, but behind the scenes, it places a corresponding burden on the delivery drivers who deliver the packages. This shortage of drivers has become a serious social issue.

It is said that at this rate, our country's home delivery infrastructure will collapse by 2030, and the Prime Minister's Office, related ministries, and local governments are working to solve this issue.

Also, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the excessive penetration and spread of e-commerce have led to fewer people visiting stores and public facilities, creating a world where challenges arise in revitalizing stores and, by extension, local communities.

Every WiLL Inc. aspires to solve these issues from the standpoint of a startup company. Last year, we utilized the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Gray Zone Elimination System to confirm legality and open up the market. In addition, as an operator subsidized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, we have been jointly developing the service.

I am extremely happy that our company's journey and our strong desire to solve this social issue resonated with others, leading to such awards.

Taking these consecutive awards as an opportunity, we will further accelerate our collaboration with local governments and partner companies (retailers, delivery companies, etc.) nationwide.

We look forward to welcoming companions who will tackle the resolution of this huge social issue lurking close to everyone, and partners who will create the future together.
