Join the Upcoming Bot Express Online Seminar on Smart Booking Systems in Public Facilities
On Thursday, September 25, Bot Express will host an online seminar titled "Smart Booking Systems in Public Facilities: Eliminating Key Exchanges with 99% LINE Reservation Rate at a Football Field in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture." This event is organized in collaboration with the Planning and Finance Department and the Cultural Sports Promotion Department of Nakano City, making it an insightful opportunity for local government employees.
The seminar aims to address challenges faced in outdoor public facilities like football fields and sports grounds, where physical key exchanges often lead to inconveniences such as travel to distant management offices or early pickups for morning use. To tackle these issues, Nakano City has embraced a system that combines smart locks with reservations via LINE.
As a result of this implementation, users automatically receive passcodes via LINE to unlock key boxes before their usage date, thereby completely eliminating the need for physical key exchanges. Since introducing this system, over 99% of users have chosen to make their reservations through LINE, allowing for significant operational efficiency. Additionally, the change has led to an annual cost reduction of approximately 1.3 million yen by eliminating the need for on-site staff.
During the seminar, key speakers Shohta Higuchi from the Planning and Finance Department and Takahiro Ato from the Cultural Sports Promotion Department will share their insights into the implemented functionalities, operational strategies, and feedback from users post-implementation. The discussion promises to provide a fascinating 'before and after' perspective of public facility reservation management in Nakano City.
