SmartDrive to Speak at "Backoffice DX for JA" Online Seminar Hosted by The Japan Agricultural News on May 22, 2026

SmartDrive Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Kitagawa), a provider of mobility data services, has announced that it will be speaking at the online seminar "Backoffice DX for JA" hosted by The Japan Agricultural News (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President: Washiro Tamiya) on Friday, May 22, 2026.

"Backoffice DX for JA" is an online seminar that addresses challenges in HR, labor management, and vehicle management within JA organizations through presentations and discussions by participating companies.

SmartDrive will co-present with JA Mitsui Lease Auto Co., Ltd., with whom they have a sales partnership agreement for the cloud service "SmartDrive Box" that promotes DX for vehicle-related documents. They plan to discuss how "private car commuting," which is common in JAs and large-scale agricultural production corporations nationwide, can become a blind spot in management and hide significant risks under current management structures. The seminar will also include a keynote speech by experts and a presentation by SmartHR Inc. on "HR Reform Starting from Centralized Employee Data Management."
