This is a business support system for childcare facilities that improves the work efficiency of childcare workers. It focuses on labor-related functions such as shift management and extended daycare billing.
Childcare Worker Bank!", a job search and career change support service for childcare workers. and has grown to become one of the largest services in Japan with a cumulative total of 120,000 registered users.
In the course of operating this service, we were faced with the challenge of childcare facilities being overwhelmed by enormous and complicated administrative work. We aim to streamline the daily tasks faced by directors and staff, and to make a valuable contribution to the creation of an environment in which childcare professionals can focus on pure 'childcare'.

BabyTech Editor's Comment
FOR USERS WHO ARE RESISTANT TO IT, I THINK ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE SITE IS THAT IT IS THOROUGHLY FOCUSED ON "SIMPLICITY" AND FOCUSES ON FIVE MAIN FUNCTIONS. IN ORDER TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF A LOT OF THINGS, SO I FEEL THAT YOU'VE MADE A DIFFICULT DECISION.
WITHIN THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE COMPANY PLANS TO ADD A CHILDCARE DIARY FUNCTION AND LAUNCH AN APP FOR PARENTS. THE APP WILL ALSO DELIVER CHILDCARE INFORMATION IN COLLABORATION WITH KIDSNA, A CHILDCARE INFORMATION MEDIA USED BY 4 MILLION MONTHLY USERS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.
