The Launch of Gichitai39's Second DX Support Campaign for Local Governments

Gichitai39's New DX Campaign for Local Governments

As new fiscal years begin, pressing issues like disaster prevention and infrastructure management elevate the need for efficiency in local governments. Gichitai39's latest initiative, the "Gichitai39 Emergency DX Support Campaign, Round 2," has officially launched, aimed at easing operational strains for municipal employees. With the cooperation of At Creation Co., Ltd., the campaign introduces a special package featuring a mapping integration tool called "Kantan Map."

Streamlining Operations

This campaign adds three new mapping-related operational packages to the existing lineup, making a total of ten available for local governments to utilize. The newly introduced packages are designed for immediate utility, allowing for swift implementation—often within just one day—while minimizing the burden on local staff.

New Mapping Packages:

1. Disaster Patrol Reporting System: This tool allows on-site damage reports during emergencies or patrols to be immediately registered on a map, enabling real-time updates for headquarters.
2. Vacant House Management System: This package links vacant house registers with mapping, facilitating easy location verification and mapping assessments, thereby supporting efficient decision-making.
3. Road Repair Notification System: Citizens can report issues, and municipal staff can track problems directly on the map, fostering clarity and communication while enhancing operational visibility.

These new offerings complement the original six business packages, which focus on areas such as community safety and vehicle management, ensuring a comprehensive approach to municipal operations.

Special Offer and Benefits

To further reduce barriers to entry, the campaign features significant discounts. Each package will be available for a one-time fee of 390,000 yen (excluding tax), with initial setup costs halved to 195,000 yen. Additionally, the plugins developed by Joyzo will be offered for free until March 2027, making it an attractive option for local governments looking to optimize their workflows without facing financial strain.

Furthermore, At Creation will provide "Kantan Map" licenses at no cost until the end of March 2027—ensuring municipalities can fully leverage this innovative tool without up-front expenses.

Insights from Industry Leaders

According to Mr. Kuroki of At Creation Co., Ltd., effective public administration increasingly relies on the integration of location data and imagery with conventional record-keeping. By collaborating with Joyzo on this initiative, he hopes to make the use of mapping commonplace in local government practices across Japan.

Campaign Duration and Application Procedures

This campaign will run from January 23, 2026, until the end of March 2026, ensuring timely deployments prior to the new fiscal year. Eligible participants must already have a Kintone environment in place, allowing them to capitalize on comprehensive digital solutions tailored to their unique administration requirements.
