uSonar Expands Data Provided via Nikkei Telecom
— Now Providing LBC Business Location Data in Addition to Corporate Headquarters Information —

uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi; President: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "uSonar") is expanding the uSonar corporate database LBC information provided through the business information service "Nikkei Telecom" (operated by Nikkei Inc.; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Tsuyoshi Hasebe) to include "business location-level" information.
This month, we integrated Nikkei WHO'S WHO information into our corporate information viewing and business card management app, mSonar. uSonar remains committed to contributing to the convenience of the business community through data provision across both platforms.

In the corporate sector, DX promotion and data-driven strategies are advancing.
We recognize that this is because improving operational efficiency and productivity has become a critical challenge for companies preparing for the future decline in the working population.
uSonar aims to meet these needs by providing more relevant data.
Nikkei Telecom is an information platform provided by Nikkei Inc. that offers a wide range of information necessary for corporate activities as a leading business information service. It is primarily utilized by departments such as sales, planning, research, auditing, and development.
Meanwhile, uSonar provides a service that offers its customers the full volume of "LBC," the largest corporate database in Japan, which covers companies down to the level of their individual operating bases. It is primarily used by sales, marketing, and information systems departments.
While we have been providing "headquarters information" from the uSonar LBC corporate database to Nikkei Telecom since December 2023, we have decided to expand the provided information to meet the needs for corporate location data (such as branches and factories). *Largest in Japan in terms of data holdings for headquarters and business locations of Japanese companies (Internal research results as of 2024/9/29)

From the LBC, one of the largest corporate databases in Japan collected and accumulated by uSonar, we are expanding the data to include approximately 2.2 million business location records (as of September 2024) in addition to the existing corporate headquarters information for approximately 4.2 million companies with corporate numbers (as of September 2024).
