Phone Appli Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yosuke Ishihara; hereinafter "Phone Appli") and Landscape Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Nami Fukutomi; hereinafter "Landscape") will release a new feature, "Super Data Cleansing via LBC," in the first quarter of 2019 (January–March 2019). This feature will significantly improve the accuracy and flexibility of client data cleansing by integrating the business card management functions of PhoneAppli for Salesforce with "LBC (Linkage Business Code)," Japan's largest corporate master data provided by Landscape.

In business card management solutions, managing client information based on digitized business card data is critical for subsequent data utilization. However, conventional data cleansing methods based on company names have faced challenges, such as the inability to perform accurate matching due to errors in company names (e.g., case sensitivity), discrepancies between information on business cards and official company names, and the existence of multiple companies with the same name. These issues have led to increased data inaccuracies and time-consuming manual corrections.
The newly released "Super Data Matching via LBC" feature allows for precise matching based on corporate codes rather than just company names. By assigning corporate codes from LBC—Landscape's proprietary corporate master database, which is the largest in Japan with approximately 8.2 million locations—to contact information digitized via OCR or operator input, this feature enables accurate registration within Salesforce.
This feature provides the following benefits to our customers:
(1) It prevents misidentification caused by variations in company names or companies with similar names, thereby improving the accuracy of corporate data matching.
(2) It enables the association of contacts (individual information) with locations other than the headquarters, such as branch offices.
(3) By utilizing the accumulated corporate codes through Landscape's customer data integration solution, uSonar, or other data cleansing solutions and services, further sales and marketing support can be achieved.
