Company News
uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi) is pleased to announce the implementation of the "Organizational Overview" feature in the corporate information and business card management application "mSonar"*1.
The "Organizational Overview" feature utilizes uSonar's patented technology*2 for the integration, structuring, and visualization of business card information and corporate data. This allows users to identify "who to approach next" and other key insights.
This patent covers the identification of unowned business cards or "white spaces" in departments and job titles, and any similar expressions are subject to the scope of this patent.
Background of This Implementation
In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on sales strategies that involve identifying key decision-makers and departments, and determining the next point of contact based on existing relationships.
To meet these needs, we have developed a feature that leverages Japan's largest corporate database, "LBC"*3, and our patented technology to visualize corporate organizations, organize existing connections, and identify unapproached organizations and target areas.
Features of the Organizational Overview
This feature displays departments and job titles in a tree format, allowing users to check their connections (whether business cards have been exchanged) at a glance.
Users can visually identify unapproached departments and job levels (white spaces), enabling faster decision-making for the next action.
<How to Use>
Open mSonar (GuideSonar) → "Company" Tab → "Company Details" Screen → "Organizational Overview"
By tapping on a department, you can view the organizational hierarchy, display the names of people in that department, see whether a business card has already been received (color-coded), and view the percentage of connections made within that department.
*This feature will be released first on the PC browser version, "GuideSonar," and subsequently implemented in mSonar.
