e-Trunk Exceeds 240 Listed Businesses, Launches Real-Time Inquiry Confirmation Feature from Management Dashboard

e-Trunk, a nationwide search site for storage units (operated by e-portal Inc.), has surpassed 240 listed businesses. In conjunction with this milestone, we have updated the management dashboard for listed businesses, introducing a new feature that allows real-time confirmation of the number of inquiries for each property. This feature will make it easier to grasp response status, enabling its use for confirming listing effectiveness, sales activities, and improving property operations.

Background Since its service launch in 2007, e-Trunk has operated as a search site listing storage unit information nationwide, connecting users and businesses. With the increase in the number of listed properties and users, we have received numerous requests from listed businesses such as "I want to check inquiry status more easily," "I want to know which properties are attracting responses," and "I want to understand the effectiveness of my listings." Therefore, we have now added a new feature to the management dashboard to check the number of inquiries.

New Feature Overview: Inquiry Count Available on Management Dashboard On the management dashboard, you can easily check the following information simply by logging in:

- Number of inquiries

- Access history per property

The number of inquiries is reflected in real-time, so it can also be used for measuring the effectiveness of advertising measures and after changes to listing content.

Expected Benefits - Visualization of Listing Effectiveness By being able to grasp the number of inquiries, you can easily confirm listing performance.

- Utilization for Property Improvement Referring to the number of inquiries can lead to improvements in photos, descriptions, and pricing.

- Streamlining Sales Activities Timely understanding of inquiry status contributes to internal sharing and sales activities.

Exceeding 240 Listed Businesses Currently, over 240 storage unit businesses nationwide are listed on e-Trunk. We are used by a wide range of businesses, from community-based operators to companies with nationwide operations, supporting the search for storage units across the country. Furthermore, we are continuously used by listed companies as a "customer acquisition medium that leads to inquiries."

Listing Available from ¥7,700 (Tax Included) per Month e-Trunk's listing plans adopt a fixed monthly fee system, not a performance-based commission.

The initial enrollment fee is ¥16,500 (tax included) for the first time only, and the monthly listing fee starts from ¥7,700 (tax included) (up to 10 properties can be listed), allowing you to engage in continuous customer acquisition while keeping initial costs down. Additionally, since you can check the number of inquiries on the management dashboard, you can utilize it for improving property information and customer acquisition strategies while grasping the effectiveness of your listings. Since the service began in 2007, it has been used by many storage unit businesses, and currently, over 240 businesses nationwide are listed. We will continue to improve our services and expand our features with the aim of supporting customer acquisition for our listed companies.

Editorial Comment The inquiry count display feature added this time was developed based on feedback from listed businesses requesting "visualization of responses." We will continue to expand our features with the aim of creating a service that is easy to use for both listed businesses and users.
