◆ Background

In recent years, the spread of smart meters has accelerated, and it is expected that smart meters will be installed in almost all properties by the end of 2023. In the past, the amount of electricity used for each property was measured by the meter reader of the electric power company going directly to the electricity meter installed in each property, but with the spread of smart meters, the electric power company has become remote. It has become possible to measure the amount of electricity and to energize.

For rental properties, electricity was stopped more strictly and electricity could no longer be used on the day when the resident moved out and terminated the contract with the electric power company. Since electricity is used for room cleaning after moving out and for previewing new tenants, the rental management company must conclude a separate power contract for each property that is moving out by telephone. not. This work may take 15 to 30 minutes (*1) per property during the busy season of moving. In addition, the current situation is that the business of the rental management company is overloaded, with invoices for electricity charges being sent on paper for each property.

Furthermore, when moving in, the resident must apply for the move-in address and other personal information for moving in and applying for electricity, which is very troublesome.

◆ Overview

This time, rental management provided by PinT, a business efficiency improvement service for companies "PinT with rental", and Itanji's one-stop service for real estate leasing business "ITANDI BB" are linked to preview rental properties. We have started to automate the switching of electric contracts at the time.

As a result, the rental management company can use electricity on "ITANDI BB" simply by entering the preview date, and by calling the electric power company, including the cancellation procedure of electricity when a new move-in occurs. No need to apply for a contract. In addition, an invoice will be issued for all properties, which can significantly reduce the cost of payment processing. Until now, if the rental management company needed a power contract for 100 properties when it was vacant, it would be possible to call the power company for 100 properties and process the paper invoice for 100 properties. There was a necessary case. By automating this work load with this service, it is possible to improve the work efficiency and productivity of the rental management company.

In addition, tenants can apply for electricity from "ITANDI BB" at the time of the lease contract with the personal information required for application linked. This service will be operated by two rental management companies from July 2020.
