Landscape Co., Ltd., a company specializing in database marketing (Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku; Representative Director: Nami Fukutomi), is launching LBC-LINK, a new program that provides access to the features of the customer data integration solution uSonar, based on the corporate vision of "Non-Competition," which focuses on avoiding direct market rivalry.
■ About "Non-Competition" and "LBC-LINK"
"Non-Competition" is a "cooperative strategy" derived from Professor Hideo Yamada of Waseda University's "Competitive Strategy Without Competition." It embodies a "spirit of co-creation" where companies integrate into the value chains of others, leveraging and complementing each other's strengths to achieve new innovations with partner companies.
LBC-LINK is a linkage program for uSonar that utilizes LBC, Japan's largest corporate master database of 8.2 million locations, to normalize various forms of customer data and append corporate attributes such as industry, revenue scale, and profit scale.
■ Benefits of Using LBC-LINK
By utilizing LBC-LINK in their own tools and solutions, partner companies can add features for customer data consolidation and targeting to identify high-priority companies. Furthermore, it enables simplified customer data entry using corporate master data and allows for the automatic updating of registered customer data that has become obsolete over time. Consequently, partners can gain access to top-tier data solutions and a competitive advantage.
