GMO Design One, Inc. (President and CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, hereinafter GMO Design One), part of the GMO Internet Group, has started integrating the reservation management system 'Kanzashi', provided by Pacific Porter Inc. (President and CEO: Hisato Madama), into its local business portal site 'Ekiten by GMO' starting Monday, April 13, 2026. With this integration, stores registered on 'Ekiten by GMO' can now automatically and centrally manage reservation information from multiple other booking sites, reducing operational burdens such as double bookings and transcription tasks, thereby improving productivity.
As the first step of this functional integration, it will be rolled out to beauty salons such as esthetic salons, relaxation salons, and nail salons. In the future, the plan is to gradually expand this to hair salons and barbershops.
[Background of Introduction]
It is common for beauty salons to use multiple booking sites simultaneously to maximize customer attraction. On the other hand, preventing double bookings, adjusting inventory, and transcribing reservation information generate significant operational burdens for the stores, which has been a major challenge.
We have initiated this integration to solve these challenges and create an environment where store staff can focus more on customer service and treatments.
[Effects of the Integration]
■ Prevention of Double Bookings
Availability is automatically synchronized between 'Ekiten Online Reservation' and other multiple booking sites, preventing conflicting reservations.
■ Improved Operational Efficiency
Automation and efficiency of reservation management tasks. Transcription work and inventory adjustment tasks for each booking site are no longer necessary, and the consolidation, modification, and cancellation processing of reservation information are unified, dramatically increasing the store's productivity.
■ Improvement in the Quality of Customer Service
By reducing the burden of reservation management, store staff can dedicate themselves to treatments and customer service, leading to improved customer satisfaction.
