Linough Introduces Smart Delivery to Rakuten Mart

In a groundbreaking partnership, Linough Inc. has announced the launch of its innovative 'Smart Delivery' service, set to debut on July 14, 2025, at Rakuten Martin, a leading online supermarket in Japan. This service enables seamless package delivery to the doorsteps of residents in approximately 9,000 auto-lock apartment buildings, offering a secure and convenient solution for online shoppers.

Background of Smart Delivery Implementation

In recent years, the demand for online grocery shopping and e-commerce services has surged, prompting businesses to find effective ways to reduce delivery re-attempts. Consumers increasingly express the need for diverse delivery methods that fit their lifestyles. Rakuten Mart has previously offered delivery services to detached homes and other apartment buildings that meet certain criteria. However, due to restrictions in auto-lock apartments that prevent delivery personnel from entering, many residents have been left without convenient delivery options.

Linough's Smart Delivery addresses these issues by allowing deliveries to take place securely at residents' doorsteps, even when they are not at home. This is made possible through the integration of smart locking technology, combining user convenience with robust security measures.

Features of Smart Delivery

The service employs Linough's state-of-the-art smart lock system called NinjaEntrance. This solution digitizes the keys for shared entrances of auto-lock buildings, allowing authenticated delivery personnel to unlock the door for package drop-off. This system not only guarantees that deliveries are made to the specified locations but also records each unlocking event, ensuring that security is never compromised.

This upcoming service will operate without any financial burden on property management companies, owners, or homeowners’ associations. As of July 2025, Linough has successfully implemented this technology in over 16,000 buildings across Japan, showcasing its reliability and effectiveness.

Future Plans and Expansion

Linough is committed to expanding the areas where Smart Delivery is available, significantly enhancing convenience for urban residents living in auto-lock apartments. By collaborating with property management companies, the company aims to provide information and promotional initiatives to residents of targeted buildings. This outreach is set to begin as soon as the service launches, helping residents understand the new delivery options available to them.
