Company News
uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi; President: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that "uSonar News," a free application for the Salesforce AppExchange business app marketplace, has surpassed 2,000 users. "uSonar News" is an application that allows users to comprehensively capture events related to client companies stored in Salesforce, such as news, new services, business alliances, and personnel changes. It enables users to efficiently manage news about companies of interest and improve sales performance. Reaching 2,000 users in just two months since its launch is being noted by industry stakeholders as exceptional growth for a B2B application.
"uSonar News" is a free application that runs on Salesforce. By installing this app, you can check headlines of corporate news that interest you while continuing to use your existing Salesforce account screens. Clicking on a headline will redirect you to the source website, where you can view detailed information.
We organize corporate news using our proprietary "LBC" codes, which cover 8.2 million locations and constitute one of Japan's largest corporate databases, ensuring that you never miss events related to companies of interest. We hope you will experience the convenience of LBC codes through this and many other features.
* The expression for usage scale has been unified from "number of installations" to "number of users." The term "installation" has been removed from the headline and lead paragraph (March 13, 2024).
