PIPI Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Han Chen), a company engaged in the operation and digital transformation (DX) of accommodation facilities, is pleased to announce the launch of "ERIS", an AI evaluation tool for accommodation investment.
ERIS is an AI tool that quickly performs compliance checks, operational and profitability estimates, risk analysis, and competitive analysis based on property information. It streamlines the initial judgment process, which tends to be complex in accommodation facility investments, and supports the decision-making of investors, real estate operators, and management companies.

■ Development Background
In recent years, backed by the recovery of inbound demand, real estate investment in budget hotels, hotels, and private lodging has become active. On the other hand, accommodation investment has inherent difficulties that differ from general real estate investment.
For example, there are cases where decisions are made based solely on surface yield, overlooking cost structures such as OTA commissions, cleaning fees, and operation management fees. There are also cases where licensing requirements such as zoning, Fire Service Act, Inns and Hotels Act, and local government ordinances are complex, making it difficult to accurately foresee feasibility. Furthermore, there are cases where optimistic income and expenditure plans are drawn up without fully grasping the ADR and OCC of competing facilities in the area.
Since its founding in 2015, PIPI has been involved in the planning, development, and operation of apartment hotels and vacation rentals, mainly in Tokyo, and has accumulated over 10 years of accommodation operation data. ERIS is a service developed with the aim of improving the accuracy of accommodation investment decisions by combining such on-site operational knowledge, market data analysis capabilities, and AI technology.
■ The Meaning behind "ERIS"
"ERIS" is derived from the name of a goddess in Greek mythology. PIPI imbued this name with the meaning of an existence that sees through potential risks and leads to essential judgments without being bound by superficial numbers and impressions.
In accommodation facility investment, even if a project looks attractive at first glance, there are cases where expected profits cannot be anticipated based on laws and regulations, market environment, and operational conditions. ERIS visualizes these hard-to-see prerequisites and supports more reliable investment decisions.
