What You Can Do With 'Sukuuru.'

While cashless payments are advancing in Japan, news reports highlight the issue of school fee collection lagging behind in cashless adoption, placing a significant burden on teachers and staff. The need to handle diverse tasks such as issuing invoices, creating statements, and managing collection and aggregation means that fee collection consumes a large portion of teachers' overtime, becoming a major source of work-related stress.

Furthermore, handling cash, which leaves no record, can lead to errors in exchange and storage, and has also been a factor in problems such as the misappropriation of funds by club activity managers, as reported in the media.

Although some schools are moving towards adopting cashless payments, the reality is that educational institutions have been hesitant to fully embrace cashless systems due to risks such as credit card fraud, including phishing scams, and potential personal information leaks.

Therefore, leveraging "ROUTECODE," a technology that enables ID/password-less payments without any linkage to numbers that could identify individuals, and the next-generation payment system "ROUTE PAY," the service "Sukuuru." has been launched. This club activity management system allows for efficient and transparent club operations without concerns about personal information leakage, and enables cashless payments of club fees by guardians.

About "ROUTE PAY": Secure and Safe Online Payments via Cashless, Cardless Transactions. Unlike typical payment systems that require personal information linkage upon registration, ROUTE PAY utilizes ID/password-less authentication "ROUTE CODE," eliminating the need for personal information input during app registration. Credit card information is not stored within the app at all, ensuring a secure and safe next-generation payment system.

'Sukuuru.' not only digitizes club fee management, which was previously handled with cash and analog methods, but also centralizes financial management for club activities through features like one-click income and expenditure reports. This provides a comprehensive overview of club operations within the school, ensuring transparency in financial matters. Additionally, it allows for fee collection on a per-team basis according to team formations, and can be customized to accommodate the specific operational differences of each school and club.

Among the tasks involved in fee collection, confirming collection status and applying for approval for club fees are said to be particularly time-consuming. By implementing 'Sukuuru.', not only is the collection and non-collection status for each student visualized, but it also becomes clearer where any bottlenecks are occurring.
