The primary mission of JR Systems since its founding has been to develop and ensure the reliable operation of systems such as the Magnetic-electronic Automatic Reservation System (MARS), inherited from Japanese National Railways (JNR) following its privatization. JR Systems has greatly expanded the networks used by these systems, while also expanding the development and sale of terminals that connect to the systems. Furthermore, the company is utilizing decades of experience and expertise in information systems to develop a wide range of services for general and specialist users, in diverse fields such as transportation, logistics, and tourism, as well as in new industries.
