Showcase Inc. (Tokyo, Minato-ku, President and CEO: Koichi Matsumoto, Securities Code: 3909, hereinafter "Showcase"), a provider of DX cloud services that connect businesses and customers, has provided its identity verification tool "ProTech ID Checker" to ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT Inc. (Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, President and CEO: Takashi Takanotsuno).
Background and Effects of "ProTech ID Checker" Implementation
The revised "Act on Prevention of Unauthorized Mobile Phone Use," which was revised and enacted in April 2026, requires stricter identity verification at the time of mobile phone contract applications. In particular, the mandatory use of the "Public Personal Authentication Service (JPKI)" for directly reading IC chips embedded in residence cards necessitates the establishment of a more advanced and reliable identity verification system.
Against this backdrop of legal amendments, ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT Inc. has implemented "ProTech ID Checker" with the aim of balancing compliance with legal requirements and on-site operational needs. This has enabled not only identity verification operations that comply with stringent legal requirements but also a smooth transition from implementation to operation in the field.
"ProTech ID Checker" supports identity verification by reading IC chips from My Number Cards, driver's licenses, residence cards, and special permanent resident certificates, realizing an identity verification flow that balances legal compliance with convenience.
The ease of implementation, which does not require development due to its low-code nature, along with its ability to achieve highly secure identity verification while reducing the operational burden on-site, were highly valued, leading to this implementation.
Deciding Factor for Implementation
From ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT Inc.:
As this was our first implementation, we placed the highest importance on "ease of use" during the selection process. "ProTech ID Checker" features an excellent screen design for both users and administrators, and its overwhelming ease of operation compared to other companies was a major deciding factor in our adoption.
Showcase will continue to contribute to the promotion of secure and safe digital transactions by simultaneously improving user convenience and operational efficiency for businesses through "ProTech ID Checker."
