Automating Data Maintenance and Management

Asahi Group Holdings Implements LBC, Japan's Largest Corporate Master Database, Across All Locations

Automating Data Maintenance and Management to Build a Foundation for Database Marketing

Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd.

uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Nami Fukutomi), which supports database marketing, is pleased to announce that it has provided the entirety of its 8.2 million-location LBC, Japan's largest corporate master database, to Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akiyoshi Koji; hereinafter "Asahi Group Holdings"). Through the implementation of LBC, Asahi Breweries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinichi Hirano; hereinafter "Asahi Breweries") and Asahi Soft Drinks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President: Katsuhiko Kishigami; hereinafter "Asahi Soft Drinks") have automated the maintenance and management of data for restaurants, which experience frequent changes, and general enterprises undergoing mergers, acquisitions, or relocations. By utilizing consistently updated, high-freshness information, they have achieved the optimization of sales resource allocation based on accurate market size.

Background of Implementation

Asahi Breweries and Asahi Soft Drinks meet the diversifying needs of their customers with a comprehensive lineup of products, including beer, happoshu, and soft drinks. While they were actively pursuing new business and supporting existing clients to expand their market share among restaurants and general enterprises nationwide, they faced the following three challenges:
・ Compared to other industries, the restaurant sector experiences frequent changes in business format, relocations, and closures, resulting in a significant data maintenance burden.
・ Although sales representatives record visit histories and transaction records, frequent duplicate entries occur due to the use of abbreviations and typos.
・ The company could not accurately identify the targets (market) within their sales territories, preventing the optimization of sales resource allocation.

To address these issues, Asahi Breweries and Asahi Soft Drinks integrated uSonar's corporate master data, "LBC" (12.5 million locations), into their core systems.

Benefits of Implementing the Corporate Master Data "LBC"

1. Since "LBC" is maintained on a daily basis, it keeps data on rapidly changing restaurants and general enterprises in a consistently fresh state.
2. It standardizes data variations such as abbreviations and typos, achieving the unification of accurate customer data.
3. By accurately identifying untapped companies (market) within sales territories, it enables the optimization of sales resource allocation.
