Effects of Introduction

Hoko Group operates diverse businesses centered on "taxi, real estate, hotel & leisure" in Nagoya and its vicinity, and Hoko Community Service operates condominium management, real estate solution, and renovation businesses.

With the introduction and operation of "e-seikatsu Square" in addition to the previously provided "e-seikatsu Rental Management Cloud," it is now possible to seamlessly complete vacancy recruitment, application, contract, and post-occupancy management for rentals on the cloud. This will reduce the burden of duplicate data entry for Hoko Community Service's operations from vacancy recruitment to post-occupancy management.

Regarding Security Measures

Due to the increasing sophistication and complexity of information systems, growing security risks, and the need for cost reduction, the use of cloud services is rapidly expanding. The government is also promoting the Cloud-by-Default principle (※3) to maximize the benefits of cloud services and provide more efficient and secure administrative services.

"Many cloud services offer a certain level of information security functions as basic features, while also allowing for the addition of more advanced information security functions. Furthermore, cloud services with globally recognized cloud security certifications provide robust information security functions as basic features. For many information systems, utilizing cloud services is expected to improve information security levels more efficiently than individually building information security functions in an on-premise environment, due to the active adoption of new technologies in a fiercely competitive environment and economies of scale."

Quoted from P5 of the Digital Agency's Basic Policy on Appropriate Use of Cloud Services in Government Information Systems.

In recent years, with the increase in information leakage incidents in companies, attention to information security has rapidly grown. In such circumstances, robust security measures and business continuity planning (BCP) are indispensable for corporate IT infrastructure.

"e-seikatsu Square" is an inter-company distribution site that streamlines real estate rental operations.

Real estate management companies and rental brokerage companies can list and search for property information for free, and significantly improve operational efficiency through viewing appointments, application submissions, and real-time integration with core systems.

Furthermore, business communications (vacancy confirmation, application status confirmation, etc.) that were traditionally conducted via phone or FAX can now be completed via chat, dramatically improving the speed and accuracy of interactions.

From vacancy recruitment to viewing appointments, application submissions, and post-occupancy rental management, it seamlessly links the entire flow of rental operations online, supporting real estate companies' leasing operations and contributing to efficient vacancy countermeasures and reduced workload.
