K-NEX
1.Background of the K-NEX system
Our company had been using an office computer system as our condominium management system up to November 2008. However, due to the high cost of long-term supply of components and server management, we decided to change the system to a private cloud system in December 2008.
This change enabled us to use the management system anywhere if we have a personal computer and access to the Internet and therefore we can prompt fast response and reduce the costs.
As the private cloud system has been working steadily since its introduction three years ago, we decided to customize part of the system for condominium associations. The result is the condominium management system called K-NEX.
2.Concept of development
It is generally said that there are two aging issues inherented in the environment surrounding condominiums: aging buildings and aging residents. For the issue of aging buildings, we implement a simple building diagnostics free of charge with the aim of realizing safe and secure management and increasing the asset value of each condominium in mind.
For the issue of aging residents, there are many cases where elderly residents do not want to become board members due to troublesome issues involved in the management of condominium associations and where delinquency in the payment of condominium fees and contributions to the repair & maintenance fund occurs, leading troubles in condominium associations.
In an effort to help solve such problems, we built this new system.
Moreover, we have been promoting activities to reduce paper use as part of our environmental measures, such as paperless fax (launched in May 2008), private cloud system (launched in December 2008), the use of tablet PCs (launched in June 2011) and paperless meetings (launched in October 2011).
We promote the K-NEX system as part of our corporate vision, Aiming at becoming a people and earth-friendly management company.
3.How will K-NEX change condominium management?
It will significantly reduce time and effort required for the management of condominiums. If you have access to the Internet and a personal computer, a tablet computer or an iPad, you can view office management information (information on paid facilities, such as parking lots and bicycle parking areas, information on uncollected condominium fees, balance sheets, financial reports, etc.) anytime anywhere.
Since the system can be used anywhere,it can be introduced to condominiums not in urban areas. We believe that this system can help preventing the hollowing-out of condominium management by ensuring the implementation of mission-critical tasks and thereby enhancing the asset value of condominiums.
4.Management service limited to accounting as a new service
The unit owners of self-managed condominiums tend to conduct cleaning, small repairs and the management of equipment and plants by themselves and often form a strong community.
Since we are a general management company, our condominium associations can outsource all management operations. However, the K-NEX system, which is an office management system based on accounting, enables condominium associations to use it only for the accounting operations while maintaining their conventional management form in other operations.
In such cases, however, our company conducts the following: entry of resident data, procedures to automatically deduct payments from bank accounts, billing of condominium fees and the development of accounting materials. Condominium associations do not have to do any entry operations or bear costs when introducing the K-NEX system.
