RoomBoss Selected for MLIT’s Grant Project to Improve the Efficiency of Car Transportation

An exciting new project; RoomBoss will be developing a system for Hokkaido District Transport Bureau’s Rental Car Transportation DX project.

With the goals of improving the efficiency and the average loading-rate of carrier cars and reducing vehicle transportation costs, our new system will help to increase the number of rental car users at each regional airport and create more opportunities for the travellers to visit wider areas of Hokkaido.

This initial phase will start from November 2022 through March 2023.
