Yeosu Coast Guard Implements Kakao AlimTalk 'Alrinae' Service

Budget Reduction and Citizen-Friendly Administrative Services through In-House Program Development

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Jeonnam Yeosu Maritime Police Station (Chief Park Je-su) announced on the 5th that it will implement the 'Kakao AlimTalk' service, which can quickly provide safety information to the public, starting from the 8th.

According to Yeosu Maritime Police, by linking with the National Information Resources Service Agency, they developed their own program 'Allinae' to provide next-generation app-based messaging services, saving about 40 million KRW in system development costs, and enabling the sending of 'Kakao AlimTalk' messages through the administrative network.

Until now, sending text messages to provide safety information to the public relied on private company services, resulting in high message fees and reduced work efficiency. However, with this new service, national budget savings are achieved, and up to 1,000 characters can be sent per AlimTalk message, allowing for more detailed and accurate communication.

In particular, the Kakao AlimTalk service, as part of proactive administration, reduces the cost of sending messages from 55 KRW per message via traditional SMS to 4.95 KRW via KakaoTalk, achieving up to 90% cost savings. The use of certified institution names is expected to prevent voice phishing and improve administrative trust.

A Yeosu Maritime Police official stated, "Through the Kakao AlimTalk 'Allinae' service, we will actively strive to provide citizen-friendly administrative services that deliver information to the public more easily and conveniently."
