Nexus Agent Selected as a 'Good Practice' in METI and IPA's 'DX Selection 2026'

Nexus Agent, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kotonori Iwata; hereinafter 'the Company') announced that it has been selected as a 'Good Practice' in the 'DX Selection 2026' program conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA).

'DX Selection' is a system that selects medium and small-sized enterprises that serve as model cases for creating results through digital transformation (DX) initiatives in line with the Digital Governance Code. In 2026, a presentation review was conducted by the 11 companies that advanced to the final selection, and the Company presented its DX initiatives centered on its Iereach business.

Background of the selection In real estate transactions, there are issues related to the reliability and reproducibility of transactions, such as price opacity, the burden of document verification, and subjective negotiation or business processes. The Company has been promoting DX with the aim of realizing more reliable real estate transactions by centering its efforts on 'Iereach,' a web-based distribution platform for investment real estate, and by standardizing prices, documents, and processes.

Main initiatives 1. Standardization of the price review process Utilizing transaction history, property information, and rent data, the Company is promoting the digitization and AI utilization of appraisal work. This standardizes the price review process, which tended to rely on subjective judgment, and establishes a system where sales staff can make proposals and negotiate based on objective information.

2. Standardization of documents By digitizing sales materials, contract-related documents, and property documents, the Company provides support for confirmation and creation using AI-OCR and generative AI. This reduces man-hours required for document verification and stabilizes document quality.

3. Standardization of business processes By visualizing property information, negotiation history, and response status, the Company is standardizing business processes related to sales, appraisal, and contracts. This aims for reproducible business operations that do not overly rely on individual experience or tacit knowledge.

Results of DX By integrating business departments with technology development departments and linking business improvement with system development, the Company has promoted business growth. The main results are as follows: - Significant expansion in business performance in the Iereach business - Improved reproducibility of sales activities, appraisal, and contract-related work through standardization of business processes - Operational efficiency in organizing property information, appraisal, and document verification through AI and data utilization - Establishment of a system where field members, including young employees, can learn and improve work based on common standards

In addition, the Company has previously received external evaluations regarding the productivity of its development organization. The Company accepts this selection as an evaluation of its DX as an initiative that includes not only technology development but also business growth, operational transformation, and organizational transformation.

Future outlook Without letting this 'Good Practice' selection be a one-time result, the Company will continue to work on improving transparency, reproducibility, and reliability in real estate transactions. Going forward, the Company will further evolve the Iereach business to streamline search, appraisal, and contract processes in B2B transactions, and in the future, it aims to build a real estate transaction foundation where general users can also participate with greater peace of mind.

Furthermore, the Company will leverage this external evaluation for recruitment, public relations, business growth, and trust-building, aiming to become a company chosen by DX talent that can change the real estate industry for the better through AI, data, product development, and operational transformation.

Guided by its mission to 'change the world by providing value through real estate,' the Company will continue to tackle the creation of new value in real estate distribution.
