KAFLIX CLOUD and Time Design Collaboration: A New Era for Car Rentals

In a groundbreaking partnership, KAFLIX CLOUD, based in Naha, Okinawa, has joined forces with Time Design from Shibuya, Tokyo, to revolutionize the car rental industry in Japan. This collaboration aims to synchronize car rental inventory on Time Design's dynamic package platform, allowing travel agencies to offer bundled services that include flights, accommodation, and car rentals. The initiative will officially launch on October 1, 2025.

Background and Challenges

As the domestic car rental market in Japan faces increased competition and pricing wars, many consumers prefer booking their travel through dynamic package platforms that allow for a comprehensive selection of services. This shift towards a one-stop booking model has presented an opportunity for car rental companies to expand their sales channels and improve brand recognition.

By leveraging Time Design’s robust platform, KAFLIX CLOUD seeks to assist its rental car operator clients in tapping into this growing market. The aim is to promote a wider reach for these firms, enabling them to showcase their fleets and enhance sales.

Integration within Time Design's Dynamic Package Platform

The collaboration will integrate the car rental inventory from various operators using the ERP system “REborn” developed by KAFLIX CLOUD. This means that consumers utilizing Time Design’s platform will have the ability to select and book rental cars alongside flights and hotel accommodations, creating a seamless booking experience.

This strategic move not only promises to enhance the exposure of participating rental car operators but also marks the advent of a new revenue channel for them, enabling them to thrive in a saturated market.

Anticipated Benefits of the Collaboration

For car rental companies associated with KAFLIX CLOUD, this partnership grants access to Time Design's extensive travel distribution network. By utilizing this platform, they will be able to reach domestic travelers more effectively, providing additional visibility and generating new leads.

Similarly, customers stand to benefit from an enriched selection of booking options when combining air travel and lodging with car rentals, likely leading to improved satisfaction in their travel planning.

Overview of the New Service

This collaboration is fueled by KAFLIX CLOUD’s “Car Rental OTA Collaboration Solution.” This service leverages the REborn ERP system to facilitate centralized management of inventory information, pricing, and plans among car rental operators. This streamlined approach allows for efficient stock provision to platforms like Time Design, helping to broaden the operational landscape for rental agencies.

Going forward, KAFLIX CLOUD plans to assist more of its car rental clients in joining the Time Design platform. The ambition is to create more opportunities for travelers to choose rental vehicles, ultimately enhancing the customer acquisition capabilities and revenue streams of these businesses.

Moreover, the focus will remain on strengthening collaborations with other travel-related platforms and OTAs (online travel agencies) to further optimize inventory distribution for car rentals.
