About
INFORICH is a pioneer
in blending location with technology
Through our mobile battery sharing service, “CHARGESPOT,” we have connected real points of contact (locations) across Japan and around the world, building a next-generation infrastructure into the city.
Behind the scenes, we have accumulated unique technology and data, including the vast IoT networks, remote management systems, app integration, and cross-border operation capability.
This platform and infrastructure is now expanding to enrich people's lives, not only through sharing, but also through advertising, entertainment, collaboration with third-parties, adding multiple features.
INFORICH will continue to be a pioneer in creating ‘gateways to new value’ in everyday life around the world by blending location with technology.
