Eliminating Information Gaps! Support Package Launched for Introducing Digital Signage for Disaster Prevention, Tourism, and General Information for Municipalities

Proposal for Digital Signage for Municipalities

GoodLaugh Inc. (Headquarters: Higashinada-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Representative Director: Masatsugu Komaki), which provides web marketing support, will begin offering a "Multifunctional Digital Signage Introduction Support Package" targeting local governments and public facilities, with the aim of ensuring the safety and security of residents and eliminating information gaps.

This package digitizes information dissemination in public spaces such as city halls, community centers, and station plazas. It enables simultaneous distribution of disaster prevention and emergency information, multilingual general guidance, and regional tourism promotion all on a single device, achieving both improved operational efficiency (DX) for staff and enhanced resident services.

◆ Background of Service Provision: Limitations of Paper Media and Widening Information Gaps Rapid information transmission during disasters and multilingual support for the elderly and foreigners are urgent issues for modern local governments. However, traditional paper media and old-fashioned bulletin boards have reached their limits.

・Issue 1: Delays in Disaster Information Transmission During disasters and emergencies, there is a lack of means to convey information in real-time and visually to all residents, including the elderly.

・Issue 2: Widening Information Gaps. Lack of multilingual and barrier-free support for the elderly and foreign visitors is creating an "information gap," where essential information does not reach all residents.

・Issue 3: Staff Workload. Significant resources are allocated to guidance services at city hall counters and the replacement of paper posters, necessitating improved operational efficiency (DX) for staff.

In response to these challenges, our company is launching support for the introduction of signage for public facilities, prioritizing "resident safety" and "information equity."

◆ Three Effects Achieved by the Introduction Model for Public Facilities This package dramatically improves municipal public services in both normal times and emergencies.

Improved Operational Efficiency and Elimination of Information Gaps ・In city halls and community centers, it functions as a multilingual general information system, automating staff guidance tasks and promoting paperless operations, thereby strongly advancing the DX of operations.

Enhancement of Regional Value: Strengthening Dissemination of Tourism and Local Information ・At station plazas and tourist facilities, it disseminates regional tourism information, event information, and public transportation status with attractive visuals.
