Problem
Urban populations lack convenient, on-the-go access to essential services like device charging, leading to dead batteries and disrupted daily routines. Traditional solutions are static and fail to integrate with the dynamic needs of people moving through cities, creating a gap in accessible, location-based infrastructure.
Solution
INFORICH addresses this by building a network of location-based services, starting with CHARGESPOT, a mobile battery sharing service that allows users to rent and return batteries at numerous points across Japan and internationally. The company leverages proprietary IoT networks and remote management systems to operate and scale this infrastructure efficiently. This platform extends beyond charging to include CheerSPOT for fan engagement, ShareSPOT for various sharing services, and SPOTJOBS for gig-based logistics, all integrated into a single app. By blending location with technology, INFORICH creates a versatile ecosystem that enriches daily life and connects people with the services they need, when and where they need them.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban consumers needing on-the-go charging and access to convenient services, as well as businesses and venue owners seeking to offer value-added services and foot traffic. The platform also serves artists and their fans through CheerSPOT, and workers seeking flexible gig opportunities through SPOTJOBS.
