GMO Design One, Inc.

"Ekiten Online Reservations",
We have started collaborating with "Kanzashi," a centralized reservation management system for beauty salons.
~By centrally managing reservation information from multiple websites, we can reduce workload and improve productivity.~

　GMO Design One Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yasuo Takabatake), a member of the GMO Internet Group, has begun integrating its store information portal site "Ekiten byGMO" with "Kanzashi," a reservation management system provided by Pacific Porter Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Hisato Madama), starting April 13, 2026 (Monday). This integration will allow stores registered with "Ekiten byGMO" to automatically manage reservation information from multiple other reservation sites, reducing the workload associated with duplicate reservations and manual data entry, and improving productivity.
　As the first phase of this functional integration, we will be targeting beauty salons such as esthetic salons, relaxation salons, and nail salons. We plan to gradually expand to other types of salons such as hair salons and barbershops in the future.

[Background to introduction]
　In beauty salons, it's common practice to use multiple booking websites to maximize customer acquisition. However, this has led to challenges such as preventing duplicate bookings (double bookings), managing inventory, and manually transferring booking information, which significantly increases the workload for the salon.
　We launched this collaboration to address these challenges and create an environment where store staff can focus more on customer service and treatments.

[Effects of collaboration]
■ Preventing double bookings
　Because availability is automatically synchronized between "Ekiten Online Reservation" and multiple other reservation sites, it prevents duplicate reservations.

■ Business process improvement
　Automating and streamlining reservation management eliminates the need to manually transfer data to various reservation sites and adjust inventory, centralizing the processing of reservation information, changes, and cancellations, dramatically increasing store productivity.

■ Improving the quality of customer service
　Reducing the burden of reservation management allows store staff to focus on providing treatments and customer service, leading to improved customer satisfaction.

[About "Kanzashi"] (URL:https://www.kanzashi.com/）
　"Kanzashi" is a beauty industry-specific service that integrates with multiple reservation websites and POS systems to centrally manage reservation information. It allows for the aggregation, editing, cancellation handling, and shift management of reservation data all in one place, supporting efficient store operations.

[About "Ekiten byGMO"] (URL:https://www.ekiten.jp/）
　"Ekiten byGMO" is a portal site where local stores and businesses can post information and reviews for free. Owners can edit their profiles to add photos and detailed information, and users can check store information and read reviews to see what other customers have to say.
　These features will enable stores to increase the number of times they appear on "Ekiten byGMO," and use user behavior data to understand customer needs and use it to attract customers and for promotional activities.

【About the future】
　In the future, we plan to expand this service to include other types of businesses such as beauty salons and barbershops.
　GMO Design One will continue to enhance the functionality of "Ekiten byGMO" and strengthen its integration with external systems to provide a platform for encounters and discoveries where both "users looking for shops" and "shops that want to increase their customer base" can benefit.

[About GMO DesignOne]

　GMO Design One develops IT services, including portal sites, to make everyone's lives more discoverable and enriching. These services act as a bridge connecting "consumers" searching for attractive shops and services with "businesses" that provide valuable products. Each encounter increases the number of shop fans and brings vitality to the town. By spreading this virtuous cycle throughout Japan, we will drive the revitalization of local economies, which will ultimately lead to the development of the Japanese economy and the realization of our mission of "Invigorating the World."
