Meishi Sonar

Simple Operation and Intuitive, User-Friendly Interface

The interface for viewing and searching business card data is simple and intuitive. You can access the information you need and use 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 the screen easy to view and navigate. An Excel-like list view without thumbnails is also available.
Additionally, business cards from the same person or company held by other colleagues are displayed on the same screen, making internal connections immediately visible.
We now support English display, allowing for global use.

Share Business Cards to Visualize Human Connections

Centrally managing business cards visualizes your professional network! You can share business cards with the entire company, organize them into groups by department or position, and configure various access permissions, such as preventing subordinates from viewing their supervisor's business cards or keeping specific cards private.

 

Securely Manage Business Cards with Cloud Storage

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.

Simply Import Business Cards to Start Utilizing and Managing Them Immediately

All users need to do is import their business cards using a smartphone or scanner. You can immediately begin sharing and utilizing the business card data.

Online Business Card Exchange

Exchange business cards by sending a URL containing your registered business card information, which the recipient can then access. The exchange is completed once the recipient sends a photo or image file of their business card to the QR code displayed on the screen.

We utilize OCR technology powered by a high-performance recognition engine. We continuously update the engine to achieve recognition accuracy that eliminates the need for manual corrections.

In addition to dedicated scanners, you can register business cards using your existing multifunction printers, scanners, image files, or smartphone cameras.

*Requires a separate PFU network scanner N7100E and dedicated software. This model is now discontinued and is not available for new subscriptions.

Multifunction Printer / Scanner

We provide a dedicated mobile integration app. Because it accesses business card data directly on Salesforce, no business card information is stored on the smartphone device itself, ensuring security in the event of loss or theft. In addition to searching and viewing business cards, you can send emails or make phone calls with a single touch. When you receive a call from a registered business card number, the company name and contact name are displayed on your smartphone screen. If the call is from a colleague registered as a Salesforce user, their department and name will be displayed. Once you receive a business card, you can register it immediately using the camera, allowing for instant information sharing with your team.

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

Customers Using Salesforce

 

For environments where Salesforce is already implemented, simply installing the Meishi Sonar application allows you to utilize business card management within your existing organization. You can seamlessly register and update leads and contacts from the business card information you input. 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 via OEM provision. You can share business cards using roles and public groups, and perform data aggregation and export using reports. It is the easiest way to introduce business card management as a lead source that requires no manual input.

Customers Not Using Salesforce

 

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 will not be able to use Salesforce's sales support functions, you can manage your 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.

A "Good" icon is displayed for items where the recognition result is determined to be "over 99% accurate," simplifying the user's verification process.
