Corporate News
uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi; President: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "uSonar") is pleased to announce the launch of its "LBC"*1 corporate database—one of the largest in Japan—on the "Snowflake Marketplace," the AI data cloud platform provided by Snowflake Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Ryuji Ukita; hereinafter "Snowflake").
Through this integration, companies already utilizing Snowflake can now directly acquire fresh, daily-updated corporate data via the Snowflake Marketplace. This significantly reduces the operational burden previously required for API configurations and file integrations.

Background of the LBC Corporate Database and Snowflake Marketplace Integration
uSonar builds and manages "LBC," one of Japan's largest corporate databases, which assigns a unique 11-digit management code to every business location across Japan. We centrally manage a wealth of corporate attribute information, including commercial registration data, web-based corporate information, corporate numbers, industry classifications, and revenue scales.
We have now made the "LBC" corporate database available on the Snowflake Marketplace as "Corporate Data LBC." This provides companies that have implemented or are considering Snowflake with an environment to access, analyze, and utilize LBC corporate data. This significantly reduces the time and costs previously required for data integration, collection, and consolidation, enabling faster and more secure acceleration of corporate data utilization.
Key Benefits for Snowflake Users
• Secure, Instant Access Without the Need for Copying or Moving Data
Using Snowflake's "Secure Data Sharing" feature, companies can directly reference and analyze "LBC" data while keeping their own data securely within Snowflake.
- Advanced Segmentation Based on Corporate Attributes
By matching your internal customer data with attribute information from LBC—such as industry, revenue scale, and capital affiliation—using APIs provided separately by uSonar, you can expect to improve the accuracy of your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) development and targeting.
- Strengthening B2B Marketing and Promotion
By integrating with CRM/MA systems, it becomes possible to build more effective sales and marketing initiatives.
* The data provided in this instance is limited to a portion of the data held by the corporate database "LBC," but we also accept requests for customization based on individual needs.
Benefits of Integration with Snowflake Marketplace
Snowflake Marketplace is an AI data sharing platform provided by Snowflake. It optimizes the data discovery, access, and purchasing process by providing data science, business intelligence, and analytics professionals with seamless access to live, ready-to-query data.
By leveraging Snowflake's secure data sharing technology, the high costs of accessing data, as well as the need for cumbersome data pipelines and data integration, are eliminated. This allows customers to save time and gain immediate access to the latest available data. For companies that have already implemented a Snowflake environment, the significant reduction in implementation man-hours required for integration is a major benefit.
This is a corporate database uniquely constructed by uSonar. It assigns an 11-digit management code to approximately 12.5 million business locations across Japan. It maintains attribute information such as corporate numbers, industries, revenue scales, capital affiliations, and head office/branch relationships, enabling a comprehensive grasp of nationwide scale and corporate structures. It covers a wide range of information from offline data such as commercial registries to corporate information on the Web, integrating and accumulating over 120 data points.
