SaaS Service "Tenpo Linkle" for Multi-Store Enterprises Implemented at 52 Shimachu Stores

Hokuto System Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; President: Naoki Takahashi; hereinafter Hokuto System) announces that it has implemented its multi-store communication system "Tenpo Linkle," which the company develops and provides, at Shimachu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama, Saitama; President: Mitsuyuki Kubota; hereinafter Shimachu).

■ Background and Challenges

As part of a company-wide push to improve business efficiency through mobile utilization, communication between headquarters and stores was also subject to review. The previously used system was not designed for mobile display, requiring store staff to make multiple trips between the large sales floor and the back office where PCs were located, just to check instructions or make reports. Additionally, submitting photo reports from a PC was cumbersome, leading to inefficiency in the nearly 900 instruction and reporting tasks per month.

Against this backdrop, Tenpo Linkle began operation in July 2025 with the aim of improving the operational efficiency of store staff.

■ Key Selection Points

The following points were highly evaluated:

• Individual customization to meet requirements essential for current operations

• Simple operability on mobile devices

• A system that meets unique security requirements

■ Post-Implementation Effects

Mobile compatibility has reduced the effort for store staff to travel between the sales floor and the back office, improving business efficiency. Reporting with images and responding to emergencies have also become faster. The intuitive operability ensured a smooth start to operations without confusion or stress on the front lines.
