Dennou Kotsu, a provider of a cloud-based dispatch service that improves the cab industry's efficiency, has raised a total of 1.2 billion yen in funding.
The company began as a rural cab company. On the verge of going out of business, they felt that the weak link was their human-powered dispatch system, and developed a software solution. It was so successful that they began offering it as a SaaS-type dispatch system.
This service optimizes operations that were previously burdened by human labor, particularly for small cab companies in rural areas.
