On May 29, 2026, Abicoco officially released the driver app for its 'Navireru' AI transport optimization system, available on iOS and Android. Designed to support nursing and welfare facilities like day services, the app eliminates the manual, time-consuming process of organizing and communicating daily transport routes. Now, transport plans created by facility staff are instantly shared to drivers' smartphones.

Key features include: 1. Schedule Confirmation: Drivers instantly view routes, visit order, and user details, including mobility aids. 2. Real-Time GPS Tracking: The app automatically tracks and shares vehicle location with the facility. 3. Automated Boarding Records: Pickup and drop-off are logged automatically based on GPS proximity. 4. Push and Voice Notifications: Drivers receive instant alerts for schedule changes without looking at the screen. 5. Automated Arrival Alerts: The app automatically emails users or their families when the vehicle approaches. 6. QR Code Login: Drivers can log in easily by scanning a QR code.

The app integrates with the facility's PC system. A 1-year free trial is currently available for the facility system, which normally costs 2,500 JPY per month per vehicle.
