Streamlining Local Government Operations with 'Jichitai39'

The ever-increasing responsibilities of local government officials often lead to overwhelming administrative tasks. However, with the newly launched 'Dog Registration and Rabies Vaccination Management System', part of the 'Jichitai39' package, local governments can significantly reduce their operational burdens. This innovative solution, which is set to debut on May 21, 2026, has been developed by Joyzo, a company based in Koto, Tokyo, and fully committed to Kintone.

Background of the Development

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the number of registered dogs in Japan reaches approximately 6 million. Legally, dog owners are required to register their pets once in their lifetime and ensure annual rabies vaccinations. The responsibility of local governments involves keeping track of these vast numbers accurately, sending out vaccination notifications, and reminding pet owners who have not completed their vaccinations.

Unfortunately, this process has been plagued with challenges for local officials. Tasks such as extracting data from spreadsheets and manually entering numerous vaccination certificates received from veterinary hospitals create a significant backlog during peak seasons. Complaints from the field highlight issues such as:

• - The tedious extraction of hundreds or thousands of entries from spreadsheets.
• - Manual transcription of vaccination certificates leading to errors.
• - A dependence on antiquated databases that cannot be easily modified by current staff.

Faced with budget constraints and stringent timelines, many local authorities found themselves lacking the funds necessary for specialized systems that could interface with their basic resident registries. Responding to their concerns about expediting improvements while minimizing disruptions, Joyzo created an affordable system allowing for small-scale, rapid implementation.

Benefits of the 'Dog Registration and Rabies Vaccination Management System'

The new system specifically targets the administrative tasks that consume valuable time for staff, allowing them to focus on the essential follow-up for unvaccinated dogs. Here are five key benefits:

1. Significant Reduction of Administrative Work: The system automatically extracts the necessary data for mailing vaccination notices, slashing the time spent on preparing recipient lists which previously took hours.
2. Convenience for Residents: After receiving the vaccination notification, residents can report their pet's vaccination online via a smartphone app, easing the strain on both the residents and the administrative office.
3. Error Reduction: By centralizing all information regarding pet owners and vaccination records within a single system, the risk of transcription errors is substantially lowered.
4. Focus on Critical Tasks: The system automatically identifies unvaccinated dogs in real-time, enabling officials to maintain an efficient follow-up for rabies prevention.
5. Effortless Reporting: All necessary documentation, including vaccination notices and reports for municipal submissions, can be generated automatically, enhancing the overall workflow.

Features of the 'Jichitai39' Package

The 'Jichitai39' package stands out by encapsulating the on-the-ground experience of former public servants along with Joyzo's extensive system integration expertise. The leading design pulls from real challenges faced in municipalities, ensuring relevance and practicality in its implementation. The company has also received significant accolades from Cybozu, illustrating its strong reputation in the sector.

The initial cost for the package is set at 390,000 yen (excluding tax) for each operational area. Additionally, setup fees apply, and ongoing license fees for Kintone will be necessary as well. Joyzo emphasizes that this system is adaptable, allowing staff to modify it according to their needs without extensive technical knowledge.

Conclusion

With a robust set of features and a design that pays close attention to the challenges faced by municipal staff, the 'Dog Registration and Rabies Vaccination Management System' under the 'Jichitai39' package promises to transform the operational dynamics of local government in Japan. For municipalities seeking a sustainable solution for their administrative inefficiencies, Joyzo's new offering may just be the critical improvement they've needed.
