Introducing Smart Application: Enhancing Rental Processes with Yuumi Class and At-Home

Introduction of Smart Application System by Yuumi Class

Yuumi Class, recognized as the top local management company in Kanagawa Prefecture, has recently partnered with At-Home Inc. to implement an innovative online rental application process known as the Smart Application. This collaboration aims to streamline the rental application procedures for its clientele, particularly focusing on properties in the Shonan area, where Yuumi Class manages over 15,000 units. This initiative not only enhances operational efficiency but also responds to the evolving demands for digital transformation (DX) within the real estate sector.

The Need for Digital Transformation in Real Estate

In recent years, the real estate industry has experienced a significant shift towards electronic transactions. The demand for faster, more accessible ways to manage rental applications has surged. Responding to this trend, Yuumi Class has taken a proactive step by incorporating At-Home’s Smart Application system, which simplifies the online application process for prospective tenants.

Details of the Smart Application System

At-Home's Smart Application offers a user-friendly interface where applicants can fill out necessary information through a dedicated online form. This system integrates with the i-SP rental management platform developed by Visual Research, allowing seamless data sharing between the two systems. As such, Yuumi Class can now efficiently handle tenant recruitment and management tasks, leading to quicker responses for customers.

Alongside the integration of At-Home’s system, the Smart Application also facilitates connections with various service providers, including rent guarantee companies, short-term insurance providers, utilities services, and moving companies. This multi-faceted approach enables real estate companies to achieve a paperless application process, further enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Benefits for Real Estate Companies

Real estate firms that have adopted the Smart Application have noted significant improvements in their operational efficiency and convenience. With automated processes, companies can minimize the burden of managing paperwork and focus more on enhancing service quality for clients. Moreover, this digital transition contributes to a more pleasant experience for renters, improving the overall rental search process.

Integration with i-SP System

The i-SP system, created by Visual Research, serves as a robust support tool for rental management operations, combining user-friendly design with strong security features. By utilizing the Smart Application, companies using i-SP can complete their rental application processes entirely within the platform, which dramatically reduces errors associated with manual, handwritten forms.

Future Developments

Looking ahead, At-Home is committed to enhancing the operational efficiency and productivity of its network of over 63,000 member stores nationwide. The development and provision of varied products and services aimed at facilitating digital transformation in the real estate sector remain a key focus. This collaborative effort between Yuumi Class and At-Home signifies an important milestone in modernizing rental practices in Japan.
