Introducing an Innovative Real Estate Proposal Service Enhanced by AI Technology

Scalar and Zenrin Join Forces to Transform Real Estate with AI

In an exciting collaboration, Scalar Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has teamed up with Zenrin Co., Ltd., based in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, to create an innovative real estate proposal service powered by AI technology. This service will make its debut at CEATEC 2025, a premier technology exhibition scheduled from October 14 to October 17, 2025, at Makuhari Messe. Scalar has provided its advanced Universal HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) engine, ScalarDB, to support the development of a demo application that integrates various databases to facilitate both transaction processing and analytical operations.

A Customizable Approach to Real Estate Search

The newly developed application addresses common challenges in the current property search landscape, which often relies on generic parameters such as distance from train stations and rent prices. These conventional criteria fail to reflect the individual lifestyles and preferences of users. Moreover, essential qualitative information about neighborhoods, such as safety and community reputation, is scattered across multiple sources, making comprehensive assessment a daunting task.

To tackle these issues, Scalar and Zenrin have designed a prototype application that combines advanced geospatial information with AI technology to provide tailored real estate recommendations. Visitors to the Zenrin booth at CEATEC 2025 will have the opportunity to experience this future-oriented approach firsthand through an impressive technology demonstration.

The Backbone of the Service: ScalarDB

At the heart of the AI-powered real estate proposal service lies ScalarDB, Scalar's Universal HTAP engine. This sophisticated system allows for the integrated management of diverse data types, including property information, nearby facilities, user reviews, and public services. By associating these varied datasets with Zenrin’s refined geospatial information, ScalarDB enables rapid and centralized search and analysis of crucial data, paving the way for efficient AI-driven recommendations.

Advanced AI Integration

The service employs AI that interprets user requests expressed in natural language, facilitating the search for the most suitable properties. ScalarDB supports this process by ensuring seamless access to the integrated database, as well as to a Vector Store used for AI applications. For instance, when a user expresses a vague desire for a property with “a nearby restaurant where the family can relax over the weekend,” the system swiftly presents appropriate options drawn from the comprehensive database.

Partner Insights

According to a statement from Zenrin’s Product Solutions Division, “Through collaboration with Scalar, we’ve built a robust foundation that contributes to our goal of creating a digital twin by integrating Zenrin’s advanced geospatial information with diverse external data. We aim to further deepen our partnership and develop services that enhance living experiences and tackle societal challenges.”

Scalar's Commitment to Social Impact

This collaboration with Zenrin demonstrates Scalar’s commitment to using data management technology to solve social issues. The company is dedicated to supporting digital transformation (DX) across various industries, continuing to push the boundaries of innovation in this space.
