AI purpose-built to turn Japanese PMRs into data you can rely on
We’ve combined our expertise in Japanese real estate and software development with proprietary AI to build Hephaestus: the engine that transforms your PMRs into standardized data and powers Data Manager.

Manually compiling PMRs becomes harder to sustain as reports accumulate, but simply handing them to AI cannot ensure consistent, verified data across Japan’s fragmented reporting practices.
The same label can mean different things
A figure’s meaning depends on where it appears in the report, not just its label.
Different names can mean the same thing
Property managers use their own terminology, even when reporting the same information.
Report layouts don’t follow a fixed pattern
Even the same property manager can change a report’s layout from month to month.

Hephaestus combines our Japanese reporting knowledge, software expertise and proprietary AI in a system that builds on the reports we’ve already processed. Reporting conventions and resolved exceptions become reusable rules for extracting data, so each reporting challenge we solve strengthens our ability to deliver data you can rely on.
