Simple Operation and Intuitive, User-Friendly InterfaceUP

The interface for viewing and searching business card data is simple and intuitive. Access the information you need or essential functions with a single touch.
Business card data is displayed as thumbnails and can be sorted by name, company name, or registration date, making it easy to view and search. An Excel-like list view without thumbnails is also available.
Furthermore, business cards from the same individual or company held by other colleagues are displayed on the same screen, providing immediate visibility into your internal network.
We now support English, allowing for global use.

Simple Operation and Intuitive Interface

Share Business Cards to Visualize Professional Connections

Centralizing your business card management visualizes your professional connections. You can share cards across the entire company, organize them by department or role, and configure various access permissions, such as restricting subordinates from viewing their supervisors' cards or keeping specific cards private.

Share Business Cards to Visualize Connections

Secure Cloud-Based Business Card Management

Business card data is managed on the Salesforce cloud, protected by robust security. Since no data remains on PCs or smartphones, you can respond immediately in the event of loss or theft.

Cloud Management

Simply Import Business Cards for Immediate Use and Management

Mobile Utilization

We provide a dedicated smartphone integration application. Since it accesses business card data on Salesforce, no business card information is stored on the smartphone device, ensuring security in the event of loss or theft. Beyond searching and viewing business cards, you can send emails or make phone calls with a single touch. If you receive a call from a phone number registered on a business card, the company name and contact name will appear on your smartphone screen. Additionally, if you receive a call from a colleague registered as a Salesforce user, their department and name will be displayed. Upon receiving a business card, you can register it immediately using the camera, allowing for instant information sharing with your team.

Integration with Salesforce

Whether you have already implemented Salesforce or are managing business cards for the first time, there are significant benefits.

Salesforce

Customers Using Salesforce
Already Implemented
 

For environments where Salesforce is already implemented, installing the Meishi Sonar application allows you to manage business cards within your existing organization. It also enables seamless registration and updates of business card information to Leads and Contacts. In addition to managing business cards with existing users, the license includes the ability to create new users who can exclusively use business card management features due to our OEM offering. You can share business cards via roles and public groups, and perform data aggregation and exports using reports. It is the easiest way to introduce business card management as a lead source that requires no manual entry.

Customers Not Using Salesforce
Future Implementation
 

Even if you have not implemented Salesforce, Meishi Sonar can be used as a standalone application running on the Salesforce platform for business card management. While you may not use Salesforce's sales support functions, you can manage business cards with the high-level security provided by Salesforce. You can add sales support functions or various other applications to the same environment in the future. Since the primary management and configuration, including business card management, are common within Salesforce, you can keep the burden of system implementation low.
