ITOKI to launch new solution "Reserve Any" to solve conference room shortage in 2025
Approaching the "real cause" of the shortage of conference rooms by creating operational systems and utilizing data
ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Koji Minato) is pleased to announce that it plans to launch "Reserve Any," a next-generation conference room reservation system currently under development, in 2025 as a new solution to the shortage of conference rooms.
Business Background
Currently, our Workplace Business is developing Office 1.0 as the manufacture and sale of office furniture, Office 2.0 as a space-based solutions business, and Office 3.0 as a work style-based office DX using data. In particular, we see Office 3.0 as the next growth engine with high added value and competitive advantage.
In fact, starting with the launch of the office data analysis service "Data Trekking" in February 2024, development of "Office Design Auto-Generation AI (tentative name)" began in March of the same year, and "Office Asset Finder (tentative name)" began in July of the same year. The former is being jointly developed with Tou Inc., an AI startup spun out of the Matsuo Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, and the latter with RF Lucas Inc., an RFID location tech company, and both aim to launch within 2025. The newly developed "Reserve Any" is positioned as a further expansion of the Office 3.0 concept centered around "Data Trekking."
Reserve Any
Due to the diversification of working styles of office workers, the issue of a shortage of conference rooms has become prominent in companies. Various efforts are being made to improve the situation, but a fundamental solution has not been reached. What is the "real cause" of the shortage of conference rooms? ITOKI's knowledge of office construction and operation consulting and the data accumulated through "Data Trekking" revealed a number of inefficient usage situations of conference rooms. ITOKI will approach solving the shortage of conference rooms with an unprecedented conference room operation system called "Reserve Any" and unique data utilization. Details of "Reserve Any" will be announced in a press release etc. in late November 2024.
