uSonar News is a free application that allows you to view corporate news directly within Salesforce. Once installed, you can check news headlines for companies of interest without leaving your existing Salesforce account screens. Clicking a headline will redirect you to the source website for more detailed information.
We organize corporate news based on our proprietary LBC code, which covers 8.2 million locations and is one of Japan's largest corporate databases. This ensures you can capture events related to companies of interest without missing any updates. The app includes many other features, allowing you to experience the convenience of LBC codes firsthand.

● News Check
View news and information regarding companies at a glance directly within your Salesforce environment.
1) Collect the latest information related to corporate entities stored in Salesforce in chronological order. You can also view a portion of the LBC corporate information maintained by uSonar, such as establishment year, revenue, and number of employees.
2) Includes a button to register corporate entities not currently stored in Salesforce as new account records with a single click.

● Personnel Change Information Check
Search for information regarding personnel changes, such as executive appointments, by the announcement date or publication date.

● Search
1) News: Search by free keywords such as corporate names or by publication period.
2) Genre: We provide 18 pre-set genres, such as business partnerships and new product launches. Users can also register their own custom search genres.

● New Feature Added: My Company News
We have enabled the ability to display news for companies that you, as an individual Salesforce user, are tracking, rather than just news for companies tracked by your organization, directly on your home screen.

[A Tool to Elevate the Level of Conversations with Customers]
"It is impressive to be able to obtain the latest corporate information and immediately gather data from the perspectives that are important for sales.
I believe this is a highly useful tool that can elevate the level of content in conversations with customers.
In principle, the customer's mindset is that they want to talk to sales representatives who understand their company. I felt that this is a necessary tool to embody that."

[Boosting Sales Efficiency!]
"Among the apps on AppExchange, uSonar News is specialized for sales departments. Since the operation of Salesforce itself has become well-established in our company, I was impressed to see a visible increase in the activity levels of our sales team immediately after implementation.
The feature that automatically retrieves information on registered accounts, which previously required manual effort, is proving to be extremely valuable."
