JR Freight Group Implements 'Park Direct' for Monthly Parking Lots

Nealle Inc., operator of the industry-leading mobility SaaS 'Park Direct', announced that JR Freight Tohoku Logistics, a member of the JR Freight Group, has implemented 'Park Direct' in the monthly parking lots it manages. This implementation in parking facilities managed by the company in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures will enhance convenience for local users and realize the digital transformation (DX) of parking management.

Background The company operates across the six prefectures of Tohoku, conducting safe and environmentally friendly freight rail transport operations daily. In addition, it utilizes idle land near stations as parking lots, striving to improve convenience for residents along the railway lines. To further enhance this convenience and achieve the DX of parking management, the company has adopted Park Direct, which enables online parking contract and management processes.

Comments from the Representative Mr. Sato, Related Business Department, JR Freight Tohoku Logistics "We operate both hourly and monthly parking businesses. Regarding monthly parking, we previously handled tasks such as new contracts, terminations, and inquiries via phone, email, or fax, and fee collection involved individual confirmation of bank transfers across multiple accounts, which were traditional and manual processes. The administrative burden on the staff was significant, and we were also struggling to increase the number of users as desired. Since implementing Park Direct, these issues have been resolved immediately. We are also pleasantly surprised that the searchability online has improved, leading to a gradual increase in the number of contract holders. We intend to continue actively utilizing Park Direct moving forward."
