Since 2014, when Ururu launched En Photo, an online photo sales service for nursery schools and kindergartens, we have created an online photo sales service for nursery schools and kindergartens. We have contributed to “making memories”. Additionally, in 2020, nursery school and kindergarten staff, as well as parents involved in the production of graduation albums, will be able to easily create high-quality original graduation albums made by specialized
manufacturers online by simply selecting their favorite photos. We have also started offering the service “En Album”. We have published over 11,000 books so far, and the number of publications is increasing year by year because we can efficiently create high-quality graduation albums.
“Kodomon” is a SaaS-type business support tool for childcare and educational facilities that is provided to the staff and guardians of childcare and educational facilities so that they can have time and peace of mind with their children. . An environment that improves the quality of childcare while significantly reducing the workload of teachers, including functions that smartly record growth records and instruction plans linked to kindergartener information, management of admission to and from kindergarten, and communication functions with parents. We support the creation. As of March 2024, it is used by approximately 18,000 facilities and approximately 360,000 employees nationwide, and has the No. 1 market share (*1) in terms of the number of facilities that have introduced it, the number of municipalities that have introduced it, and the number of contracted municipalities. (*1) Researched by Tokyo Shoko Research Co., Ltd., January 2023 Promoting efficiency in producing graduation albums and contributing to further ICT use in the childcare and education industries Since Ururu entered into a business partnership agreement with “Kodomon” for “En Photo” in December 2019, we have been promoting the use of services for both nursery schools and kindergartens, including a photographer dispatch service for online photo sales for nursery schools and kindergartens. We have carried out such activities. (*2) We have now started a business collaboration with “En Album” to promote efficiency in the production of graduation albums.
Graduation albums not only record children’s growth and preserve precious memories, but they can also be expected to increase parental satisfaction, and are an item that can help brand childcare and educational facilities. On the other hand, there has recently been a serious shortage of human resources in childcare and education settings, and there is an urgent need to improve operational efficiency to reduce the burden on staff. Through this business collaboration, we will reduce the workload of staff in producing graduation albums and contribute to the further adoption of ICT in the childcare and education industries.
