Linne Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kenichi Sugimoto, hereinafter "our company") will soon start providing "Rentals Waiting Time Record", a new service that allows shippers in the construction industry to easily record and manage cargo waiting time and loading/unloading time.
Following the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act (Act on the Efficiency of Distribution of Goods) implemented in April 2026, the measurement of waiting and loading times has effectively become mandatory for shippers and logistics companies handling cargo above a certain scale. Based on the construction industry's unique challenges, such as unpredictable schedules, different drivers each time, and multiple locations, this service allows users to record waiting and loading times simply by scanning a QR code with a smartphone, without the need for app installation, registration, or login. It is available for free for the first year (until March 2027).

■ Background of Provision
Under the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act implemented in April 2026, "specified businesses," such as shippers handling more than 90,000 tons of cargo annually and transportation operators with a fleet of 150 or more vehicles, are mandated to submit "periodic reports" including the status of waiting and loading times, and to "create medium- to long-term plans." To make these reports, measuring waiting and loading times is practically essential.
However, the construction industry faces specific difficulties unlike other industries. Delivery schedules are decided at the last minute, and changes or cancellations are everyday occurrences. The drivers coming in and out are mostly outsourced and change every time, making it unrealistic to ask all drivers to register or log into an app. Furthermore, since rental companies have many sales offices and construction companies have many sites, it is difficult to deploy a system company-wide if the monthly cost per location is high.
"Rentals Waiting Time Record" was developed as a waiting time recording service that solves these unique challenges of the construction industry and can be easily introduced and operated by anyone.
■ Main Features of "Rentals Waiting Time Record"
1. Zero burden on the site. Just point the camera.
No app installation, account registration, or login is required. It can be used not only by drivers but also by dispatch and receiving staff. Spot information is automatically entered simply by scanning the QR code with a smartphone. Vehicle information only needs to be entered the first time and is not required from the second time onwards.
2. Record at the push of a button. Automatically achieves the "minute-by-minute" measurement required by law.
Arrival -> Start of loading/unloading -> End of loading/unloading -> Departure. Waiting time and loading time are automatically calculated just by pressing a button at each timing. It automatically realizes the "minute-by-minute" measurement required by the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act.
3. Centralized management on the management screen. Automatic report generation.
Centralized management is possible from the management screen, from spot registration and QR issuance to recorded data statistics, rankings, and CSV downloads. From the accumulated data, the data required for the medium- to long-term plans and periodic reports required by the Logistics Efficiency Act is automatically aggregated.
