Rakuten Communications Corp., the telecommunications service arm of Rakuten Inc., said Feb. 1 that it will start offering a vacation rentals support service with hospitality services provider Squeeze Inc.
Anshin Stay IoT will provide vacation rentals operators support for tasks like remote key management, checkin and checkout, guest registration and identity confirmation, noise detection and guest support, among others.
It will run using internet of things technology, including devices used within the rental properties, such as smart locks, noise sensors and tablets to check in and out.
Rakuten launched its own vacation rental platform with property information services firm Lifull Co. Ltd. in June 2017.
