What Homes does

Homes Corporation (株式会社ホームズ) is a Tokyo-based private software company founded in 1992 that provides cloud-based online registration information systems for Japanese financial institutions and real estate companies. The platform automates the acquisition, AI-powered parsing, and database management of real estate and commercial registration data, replacing time-consuming manual workflows at the Legal Affairs Bureau. The company's customer base spans major Japanese banks (MUFG Bank, Mizuho Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking), regional banks (Kyoto Bank, Yokohama Bank, Kiraboshi Bank, Shizuoka Chuo Bank, Kirayaka Bank, Shizuoka Bank, Kita Nihon Bank, Norinchukin Bank), shinkin banks and credit unions (Showa, Sugamo, Kyoto, Kyoto Chuo shinkins, Hyogo Himawari Credit Union), real estate firms (Mitsubishi Jisho Real Estate Services, Chuo Nippon Tochi Tatemono Group, NTT Inflanet), and public-sector organizations.

The company's core technology is Homes AI, a patented proprietary engine that automatically parses registration documents into structured CSV/Excel data upon acquisition. The system can acquire up to 150,000 registration entries per day (40 entries in 10 seconds), reducing 100-record acquisition time from approximately one day to three minutes, and offers semi-permanent storage — a substantial advantage over the Legal Affairs Bureau's 4-business-day retention window. The product line has expanded to include the Real Estate Auto-Evaluation System (launched 2022, enabling property appraisal in approximately 5 minutes with up to 70% workload reduction), a native Salesforce integration (launched 2021), Homez MAP for parcel number lookup, contract creation, guarantee ledger automation, and disaster/disaster-prevention add-on information for collateral assets.

Homes generates revenue through subscription and usage-based pricing on quote-based enterprise contracts, plus an outsourced registration information acquisition and database service for batch processing. Distribution is exclusively direct sales — no reseller or channel partner model — targeting financial institutions and real estate companies in Japan via a structured demo → quotation → trial → contract motion. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with ¥10M capital and no external VC funding, and holds Privacy Mark certification (#10823548). Marketing is supported by a proprietary Homes Media content platform, SEO, FIT financial IT exhibition participation, and customer case studies.
