Real Estate Tech TRUSTART Begins Business Partnership with SUMiTAS Inc.

TRUSTART Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yojiro Ooe; hereinafter 'TRUSTART'), which develops and provides 'R.E.DATA', a platform that supports DX in real estate-related businesses using AI and real estate big data, announces that it has started a business partnership with SUMiTAS Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; CEO: Hiroshi Yoshida; hereinafter 'SUMiTAS'), which operates a real estate sales franchise nationwide. ◼️ Background of the Partnership In recent years, within the real estate market, advancing and streamlining brokerage operations has become an urgent task, driven by the diversification of consumer needs and the acceleration of the digital shift. Especially for community-based real estate companies rooted in their local areas, grasping latent property information and market trends in real-time has become a crucial issue in strengthening competitiveness. TRUSTART has supported the decision-making of real estate businesses through its strength in 'physical big data', digitizing analog real estate information that exists only in government offices and on-site through its proprietary field collection system. Meanwhile, SUMiTAS operates 71 stores nationwide (as of April 2026) as a franchise specializing in real estate buying and selling, providing integrated sales know-how, systems, and customer attraction support to affiliated companies. Both companies concluded this business partnership, determining that combining TRUSTART's data infrastructure with SUMiTAS's nationwide network and on-site knowledge can achieve advanced information utilization in real estate brokerage. ◼️ Future Outlook Through this partnership, we will promote the establishment of an environment where SUMiTAS franchise stores can quickly and accurately utilize real estate information specific to each region. We also aim to contribute to the DX and service quality improvement of the entire real estate market by reflecting the real needs emerging on-site in the evolution of our data services. ◼️ Comments from Each Company Hiroshi Yoshida, CEO, SUMiTAS Inc. With the mandatory registration of inheritance, the importance of real estate information is increasing further. In the future, to appropriately manage and utilize vast amounts of registration information and improve the quality of brokerage operations, we believe digitalization that does not rely on outdated methods is essential. The introduction of systems through this partnership is an important step to reliably turn changes into opportunities in the rapidly changing real estate industry. We will continue to constantly seek new methods and support the strengthening of competitiveness for our affiliated companies. Yojiro Ooe, CEO, TRUSTART Inc. SUMiTAS is a company that truly knows the 'field', possessing a real estate network rooted across the country and high on-site capabilities. By multiplying the real estate big data we have accumulated with SUMiTAS's nationwide network, we will create an environment where franchisees can utilize local information faster and more accurately, realizing data utilization that is truly needed on the front lines of real estate brokerage. We provide 'R.E.DATA', which collects a wide variety of real estate big data from all over Japan in a timely manner every day, enabling direct approaches to new prospective customers, corporate/individual profiling, and the streamlining of daily operations. 'R.E.DATA' forms big data centering on analog real estate information that does not exist on the internet but only in government offices and on-site. Users can freely select and view transfer registration information for real estate such as inheritance and sales nationwide, as well as asset types such as apartments, condominiums, buildings, factories, warehouses, and solar panels. It is a real estate big data viewing service that also allows setting extraction conditions by zoning, land area, nearest publicly assessed land value, etc. It is utilized by a wide variety of industries including real estate, finance, infrastructure, and professional services.
