Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release represents the dream of "Show Corporation."

Show Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) operates driving schools in Kanagawa, Chiba, Gunma, and Niigata prefectures. Aiming to protect its employees by promoting DX in the driving school industry, the company has introduced an AI-powered automated voice reception system for elderly driver courses to improve operational efficiency.

Our goal is to realize the dream of "eliminating the burden of phone support from driving schools nationwide."

And to create a society where all driving schools can focus on "providing value that only humans can."

Background: The "Invisible Limits" Faced by Driving Schools

Currently, many driving schools rely on phone support for over 90% of elderly driver course reservations.

・Staff overwhelmed with reservation calls ・Users frustrated by unanswered calls ・Heavy burden of phone support during busy periods when staff are already dealing with new enrollments and current students

Especially with the increasing demand for elderly driver courses, we are facing the "limits of manual operation."

What We Are Working On

Show Corporation is currently implementing an in-house AI-powered automated voice phone reservation system.

This initiative has been developed, planned, and improved jointly with the provider of the driving school reservation system "Repitte Driving School," based on actual driving school operations.

As a result, it achieves:

・24-hour availability ・No operator required ・Automatic management of reservation information

and is being implemented as a robust system capable of on-site operation.

Furthermore, implementation has already been decided for 18 schools nationwide by June 2026, and the movement towards DX is beginning to spread within the driving school industry.

This is not merely about operational efficiency.

It is a reform to shift from "taking phone calls" to "customer service that only humans can provide."

The Future We Want to Realize

Our dream does not end with mere in-house improvements.

・Expanding this system to all driving schools nationwide ・Creating an environment where anyone can smoothly take courses, regardless of regional disparities ・Increasing the overall productivity of the driving school industry

And ultimately,

To change the common perception of "driving schools = analog" and evolve the industry into one where DX is the norm.

Next Steps Towards Realization

Show Corporation will hold free online briefings for driving school stakeholders starting in April 2026 on the following dates:

April 7th (Tuesday) 10:00-11:00

April 14th (Thursday) 14:00-15:00

April 23rd (Thursday) 10:00-11:00

April 28th (Tuesday) 14:00-15:00

Location: Zoom Fee: Free

・Sharing actual implementation cases ・On-site operation methods ・Explanation of cost-effectiveness and implementation steps

Through these, we will create an environment where more driving schools can take the leap into DX.

Those wishing to participate should contact s.wada@miki.ne.jp

We are not merely providing a system, but emphasizing "creating an entry point for the entire industry to change."

Finally

Dreams do not come true just by speaking them. However, by putting them into words, we can gain empathy, cooperation, and companions to move forward together. Show Corporation will build this challenge step by step from the ground up,

As a "driving school that makes dreams a reality," we will change the future of the industry.
