Impact Field Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kiyoto Sagae), a subsidiary of Impact Holdings Inc. specializing in field marketing, has launched an 'Internal Audit Outsourcing Service for Accommodations' for companies operating hotels and ryokans.
This service is designed to support the stabilization of management by early discovery and visualization of risks—such as sudden operational stops or deteriorating labor conditions—from an objective third-party perspective.
Recently, a case occurred where a long-established hotel in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, suddenly stopped operating while still appearing available for booking, causing confusion among users and employees. As a result of an inspection by the health center, various 'on-site operational failures' invisible to headquarters and management, such as concerns over hygiene management, labor conditions, and compliance with the Hotel Business Act, have surfaced one after another.
Accommodation facilities are regional tourism resources, and once lost, trust takes a significant amount of time to regain. Especially as management changes and labor shortages intensify, on-site operations often become a 'black box,' potentially harboring legal risks and brand damage without management's knowledge. Impact Field views these incidents as an industry-wide challenge and has established a rapid reality-check service utilizing its network of approximately 300,000 'Media Crew' investigation staff nationwide.
Service Overview:
In this service, approximately 300,000 Media Crews registered on the job introduction site 'MediF' visit actual stores and check every detail of the site based on pre-set items.
Features of this service:
- Coverage of a wide area in a short period: Comprehensive investigation of designated facilities scattered across the country in as little as 1 to 3 weeks.
