Duskin

Duskin, where Mr. Baba works, was one of the first companies in Japan to adopt a franchise system.
The company operates a wide range of businesses, including DUSKIN and Mister Donut, totaling 14 distinct business lines. These include both B2B and B2C operations.

Having operated since before the era of personal computers, Mr. Baba noted that even within their B2B business alone, there were significant challenges in grasping the current status of customers.
Because data was managed separately by business unit, data silos occurred, preventing cross-business data utilization. Furthermore, corporate and store data had not been consolidated, leading to duplicate records.
Duskin adopted uSonar to centralize data across the entire group. Because Duskin requires management at the branch office level, they selected uSonar's corporate database for its comprehensive location information.
The benefits of implementing uSonar went beyond resolving data silos. By integrating uSonar's corporate data with their own customer and company information, they built an enriched, unified database.
Furthermore, by linking this with sales support tools, they enabled the practical use of data in the field.

Additionally, they are using intent data to track customer behavior and score their interests, which is expected to drive further success in field sales.

Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.

Mr. Tahara belongs to Electric Works, which follows the lineage of the former Matsushita Electric Works.
The company specializes in B2B operations, offering a wide range of products including lighting equipment for residential and non-residential office use, wiring devices such as switches and outlets, fuel cells, and gas meters.
They have been using CRM (Salesforce) for approximately five years to manage the various stakeholders involved from the time a product is installed at a site until it is actually used, and the entire group is committed to digital transformation.

Mr. Tahara explains that a major internal initiative driving the adoption was the attempt to manage client and facility information through a master database. During this process, the following challenges were identified:

- Lack of standardization in data granularity and formatting rules
- Incompatibility with existing master data
- Absence of a data maintenance culture
Mr. Tahara selected uSonar after evaluating various other services, citing the high match rate with the company's own data as the primary reason.
By implementing uSonar, the accuracy and validity of their data improved from 89.4% to 97%.
Furthermore, the number of incomplete records decreased, and the number of records with duplicates was reduced to zero.

Originally, each group company managed its master data using different rules, which led to data inconsistencies.
The corporate data provided by uSonar is now connected to the client and facility master data used by all companies, and is utilized for data cleansing and enrichment.
