Showtime24 and Secom Join Forces for Enhanced Security

In an exciting development for the real estate digital transformation sector, Showtime24 Co., Ltd., based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, has announced a partnership with Secom Co., Ltd., a leader in online security solutions. This collaboration will link Showtime24's unmanned viewing system, known as 'Unmanned Viewing-kun,' with Secom's robust security offerings.

Traditionally, the presence of staff was essential in places like exhibition halls, model homes, and various showrooms. However, with this new integration, visitors can now unlock and secure these facilities using just their smartphones. This shift allows businesses to operate more efficiently while ensuring strong security measures are in place. Clients can enjoy a seamless visiting experience, independent of staff hours, leading to a more personalized and flexible engagement with properties.

Background and Objectives of the Collaboration

For many years, the operational costs stemming from the necessity of maintaining on-site personnel and the constraints of standard business hours have posed challenges to facility management. Meanwhile, visitors have expressed a strong desire for a more relaxed, non-intrusive experience, wishing to explore facilities at their own pace and at times that suit them, such as early mornings or late evenings.

Recognizing these shifts in consumer preferences, Showtime24, which provides key management systems to automate facilities, has teamed up with Secom, a company renowned for its expertise in safety and security. By merging Secom's insights into reliable security with Showtime24's focus on convenience and efficiency, this partnership aims to propose a new operational model that both enhances user experience and addresses longstanding industry issues.

Benefits of the New System

With Showtime24's 'Unmanned Viewing-kun' system, facility visitors can schedule their visits seamlessly. Upon arrival at the designated time, they can simply tap a button on their smartphone app to deactivate Secom's security system, allowing them access to the facility. Once their exploration is complete, a similar tap will secure the premises and reactivate the security system.

Advantages for Facility Operators

1. Cost Reduction and Increased Efficiency: The necessity of continuous staffing is eliminated, significantly slashing labor costs. Staff members can then focus on their core responsibilities, boosting overall efficiency.
2. Capitalizing on Opportunities: The facility will be open to visitors around the clock, maximizing chances to engage potential clients without missing out on opportunities.
3. Enhanced Security: Seamlessly integrating Secom's trustworthy online security systems allows for safe management of facilities, even when unattended.
4. Data-Driven Marketing Strategies: The automatic recording of visitor entry and exit logs enables robust marketing strategies built on accurate data analytics.

Advantages for Facility Visitors

1. Autonomous and Comfortable Tour Experience: Visitors can tour and experience the facilities on their own without feeling any pressure from sales personnel.
2. Increased Convenience: Reservations can now be made even during evenings or early mornings, outside traditional hours.
3. Streamlined Processes: Everything from booking to unlocking and securing the spaces can be executed conveniently through a single smartphone.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, both companies intend to expand this collaborative system beyond housing exhibitions and showrooms. Future implementations may include coworking spaces, rental meeting rooms, rental studios, and unmanned retail outlets. By balancing security and convenience, this partnership aims to contribute valuable new solutions across various sectors, enhancing both user experience and operational management.
