"uSonar News" is a free application that allows users to view corporate news within Salesforce. By installing this app in Salesforce, you can check news headlines for companies of interest without leaving your current Salesforce account screen. Clicking on a headline will redirect you to the source website, where you can view detailed information.
Corporate news is organized based on our proprietary "LBC" code, which covers 8.2 million locations and is one of Japan's largest corporate databases, ensuring you catch events related to companies of interest without omission. The app includes many other features, allowing you to experience the convenience of LBC codes firsthand.

● News Check
View news and published information regarding companies directly within your Salesforce environment.
1) You can collect the latest relevant information on corporate entities stored in Salesforce in chronological order. Additionally, you can verify a portion of the LBC corporate data (founding year, revenue, and number of employees) maintained by uSonar.
2) A button is available to register corporate entities not currently stored in Salesforce as new account records with a single click.

● Personnel Change Information Check
Search for personnel changes, such as executive appointments, by the effective 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-defined genres, such as business alliances and new products. Users can also register their own custom search genres.

● New Feature Added: My Company News
We have enabled the display of news for companies that you, as an individual Salesforce user, are tracking, rather than just news for companies tracked by your organization, directly on the 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 insights from the perspectives that are important for sales.
I believe this is a highly useful tool that can elevate the quality of conversations with customers.
In principle, customers want to talk to sales representatives who understand their company. I have experienced that this is the necessary tool to embody that approach."

[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 an immediate and visible increase in the activity levels of our sales team after implementation.
Our team finds it extremely valuable that the system automatically retrieves information for registered accounts, a task that previously required manual effort."
