Edeyans Raises 430 Million Yen for Development of Hotel Room Cleaning Productivity Improvement SaaS
Edeyans, a company that develops systems to improve productivity in hotel room cleaning, has raised 430 million yen from investment funds and others.
The fundraising was through equity finance from WM Partners and Oriental Land Innovations, and debt finance from Mizuho Bank and the Japan Finance Corporation. The funds raised will be invested in the development of hotel room cleaning management SaaS, as well as enhancing sales and marketing, and strengthening recruitment.
Founded in June 2018, Edeyans initially started with cleaning services for private lodgings, but during the decline in demand for such accommodations due to the pandemic, the company managed to stay afloat by offering disinfection and sanitation services. In 2021, Edeyans entered the hotel room cleaning industry and expanded its services nationwide, with a focus on Tokyo.
The hotel room cleaning management SaaS, Jtas, includes functions such as data integration with Property Management Systems (PMS), utilization of data for cleaning efficiency and quality improvement, and facilitates the digitization of operations. Jtas supports productivity and quality enhancement, as well as the evaluation of the cleaning staff’s work.
