Background and Objectives of Implementing uSonar
• Managing Sales Lists Reached Its Limit Due to Rapid Business Expansion
Since its establishment in 2005, Leverages has aimed to "solve social issues" and operates approximately 60 businesses, including IT, medical/nursing/welfare, DX support, M&A consulting, and education. In the healthcare sector specifically, they deploy multiple solutions under the "LevaWell" brand, providing career change and temporary staffing support for nurses, caregivers, and childcare workers.
Through LevaWell, they provide various support services, including human resource placement, to medical institutions and nursing facilities nationwide. Accurately grasping the status of the numerous medical and nursing facilities across the country and providing information tailored to field needs is the foundation that supports their service quality.
Previously, LevaWell built its own facility database using publicly available information, but this required significant man-hours for data freshness management and data cleansing. In particular, they felt there was a limit to manually grasping the accurate structure of medical institutions, which come in various forms.
Additionally, the group company Levatech (IT human resources business) was using a different corporate database service for sales development, but they considered switching to uSonar due to concerns regarding data quality.
Reasons for Choosing uSonar
1. Visualization and Comprehensiveness of Sales Targets Through LBC Hierarchical Structure
LBC (Linkage Business Code) provided by uSonar is a corporate database that covers business locations nationwide. A key feature is the ability to accurately grasp the hierarchical structure of the corporate groups one wishes to approach.
What LevaWell prioritized was "accurately grasping the affiliation structure of medical institutions and pharmacies." For example, by correctly organizing the relationships between facilities in corporations with multiple locations, it becomes possible to make optimal proposals that better reflect the actual state of the organization. Visualization through LBC was expected to lead to improved accuracy of facility information and more attentive communication.
2. Accelerating Deployment Speed Toward Solving Social Issues
Another effect LevaWell prioritized was shortening the lead time to build support systems in new areas. For example, when newly starting support for a specific professional field, it previously took nearly a month of preparation to collect and organize information on the sites where those professionals work.
3. Utilization of Contact Information Obtained at Exhibitions
On the Levatech side, after comparing existing corporate databases with uSonar's functions, they confirmed advantages in the comprehensiveness of corporate data, accuracy of data cleansing, integration with SFA, and the sales utilization of intent data. In particular, they expected to utilize contact information obtained at exhibitions with greater speed.
Furthermore, during the selection process, uSonar's sales approach was also highly valued. By explaining the background, such as "the high quality is a result of dedicating human resources to data cleansing," a sense of trust and security in the service was fostered.
Results of Implementation and Future Outlook
The results and outlook of the implementation are as follows.
List Creation Time at LevaWell Reduced to Approximately 1/20th
Since implementation, the most significant effect has been the reduction in list creation time. Sales list preparation, which previously took two weeks to a month, can now be handled immediately.
Reduction in Lead Management Time at Levatech
The number of days required to link leads (business cards) obtained at exhibitions to the corporate database has been significantly reduced. The task that took approximately 10 hours to scrutinize whether a lead could be approached has become almost zero, enabling sales actions on the same day or the next day. Additionally, the "Story" and "Intent Data" functions have enabled the creation of sales lists with more complex and precise conditions.
Future Outlook
Leverages is currently using uSonar for three services: Levatech, LevaWell, and Leverages M&A Advisory. They are also advancing a concept for centralized management of customer data across the entire group utilizing LBC.
Comment from Kohei Noto, General Manager of Corporate Planning, LevaWell, Leverages Co., Ltd.
Information on over 700,000 medical and nursing facilities nationwide is constantly changing, and accurately grasping the reality in real-time is the foundation for delivering appropriate support.
By implementing uSonar's LBC, the hierarchical structure of medical corporations and the detailed status of each facility have been visualized, enabling rapid information provision tailored to field needs. This allows us to achieve both higher accuracy and speed when building support systems in new areas. We have high expectations for uSonar moving forward.
