■Benefits to tenants of living in an apartment with smart lock
New tenants of an apartment room with smart lock can make their fresh start without having to stop by a leasing sales office to pick up their keys.
The smart lock enables the entrance door to be unlocked by multiple authentication methods, such as a dedicated application on a smartphone, a smart card, or a PIN entry by a numeric keypad. The tenants can issue a one-time key via smartphone or share key information with friends or family members.
The smart lock brings about the benefits to the tenants of reducing the risk of lost key as they do not need to carry the key with them and of having self-locking door functionality for added security.
■Main jobs to be reduced by smart lock installation
Since the number of units with smart locks exceeded 200,000, the Company has realized a reduction of approximately 100,000 hours of work per year, enabling the staff to focus more on supporting the tenants.
Compared to apartment rooms with conventional locks installed, those with smart locks will see a reduction in the following operations.
■Outlook
The Company has introduced various IT solutions in line with the times to improve customer convenience, property values for apartment owners, and the Company’s operational efficiency. Going forward, the Company is committed to further implementing various latest technologies to be responsive to the needs of society and promote real estate tech business as a leading company in the industry to offer customer convenience and solve social issues.
