"Lineaf", which develops smart locks, etc., and "Kanagawa Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation" collaborate to realize safe delivery

On February 21, 2022, Rainaf Co., Ltd. announced that it will collaborate with the Kanagawa Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation to promote safe delivery to auto-lock apartments.

Lineaf provides a service for automatically locking condominiums, "Delivery with Linough", an entrance system "Lineaf Gate" that enables unlocking with face recognition, a smart lock "NinjaLockM", a real estate management solution "Linear We are developing a real estate tech business such as Fusmart Service.

"Delivery with Linough" is a service that allows condominiums with a shared auto-lock entrance to support post-delivery. We give the delivery staff the right to release restrictions, and manage the entry history to prevent fraud and trouble.

Kanagawa Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation owns approximately 13,200 general rental housing units mainly in Yokohama City and Kawasaki City, and operates a real estate rental business.

Through this partnership, we will introduce a delivery system provided by Lineaf to rental housing managed by the Kanagawa Prefectural Housing Supply Public Corporation with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions due to redelivery issues and improving convenience for residents. .

The spread of the new coronavirus infection has further increased the use of EC.

As a result, the number of parcels handled by courier services has increased rapidly, and the problem of redelivery has become a major issue in the logistics industry.

According to information from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, about 20% of delivered items are redelivered.

Efforts are being made to reduce redeliveries because redeliveries require extra effort and cause more CO2 emissions from trucks.

As an initiative by the logistics industry, we are taking measures to notify the delivery time via apps, LINE, email, etc., and if it is impossible to receive it, we will ask you to specify the time in advance.

However, it is not a fundamental solution in that it requires action from the user side.

On the other hand, due to the new corona, the need for non-face-to-face delivery has increased, and the awareness of delivery boxes and delivery has increased.

Delivery boxes/deliveries can be delivered even if the residents are not present, so it is possible to fundamentally solve the problem of redelivery.

However, in auto-lock apartments, delivery companies cannot enter the building when the residents are absent, so there is a problem that delivery is difficult.

In condominiums, it is possible to receive parcels when you are not home by installing delivery boxes/lockers, but the problem is that they are costly and require installation space.

Lineaf is developing a service that realizes delivery by using smart locks to manage the entry and exit of home delivery companies in condominiums with shared entrances.

Since it can be introduced at a lower cost than a delivery box and does not require installation space, it is expected to spread widely in the future.
