Product News
uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi; hereinafter referred to as uSonar) is pleased to announce that its corporate information & business card management app, mSonar, has integrated its data with the advisor introduction service Komon Meikan (Komon Meikan Co., Ltd.; Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hiroo Tsutsumi; hereinafter referred to as Komon Meikan).
Background of the Data Integration Between mSonar and Komon Meikan
mSonar, provided by uSonar, is a business smartphone application that offers standard business card management features while providing unlimited access to LBC, Japan's largest corporate database covering 12.5 million business locations.
In addition to digitizing exchanged business cards and sharing them internally with linked corporate information, the app allows users to check detailed corporate information for companies with which they have not yet exchanged business cards.
Meanwhile, in B2B transactions, there is a persistent need to approach companies without existing connections and, ideally, to reach high-level executives. This applies not only to sales scenarios but also to alliance negotiations.
In recent years, advisor introduction services have been increasing to meet these B2B needs. One of the leading services is Komon Meikan. Komon Meikan features former board members and other professionals from primarily listed companies who participate as advisors. To meet the need for approaching companies without existing connections, they provide comprehensive support for realizing business deals, ranging from setting up meetings with key personnel to offering advice for refining proposals, gathering information, and providing follow-up after negotiations.
To address the business need to approach companies without existing business card connections, mSonar and Komon Meikan have now integrated their data.
