“SmartEntryTab” from TOPPAN Edge Inc.

Recently, it has been introduced mainly by major real estate companies, reducing the burden on contractors, real estate companies, and financial institutions.

By connecting “Musubell” from Digital Garage, Inc. (TSE Prime section: 4819, HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; DG) and “SmartEntryTab,” real estate companies that implement both services will be able to view and understand the screening results of each request from the “Musubell” management screen, thereby reducing administrative workload and improving efficiency.

In addition, contractors are burdened with entering personal information multiple times during the process, from consideration to contract, when purchasing a home and taking out a housing loan. “Musubell” aims to provide real estate companies and financial institutions with a common data platform that will enable one-stop housing loan application procedures, including home purchase consideration, contract signing, and final screening, through inter-service collaboration with “SmartEntryTab” by the end of FY2024.

By leveraging the services and technologies, DG and TOPPAN Edge will further develop a next-generation model for the loan business’s DX.
