Company Overview / Who We Are
We own Uchide No Kozuchi (note: in Japanese folklore, uchide no kozuchi, lit. 'striking mallet', is a magical object that delivers happiness and other good fortune when shaken), Japan's first CRM tool especially designed for EC direct sales.
We continue to expand our business with a focus on this B2C-oriented service, which is in essence a package that enables the one-stop visualisation and implementation of marketing strategies and their results, based on customer profiling and purchasing data.
Our goal is to further push the growth of the CRM market through comprehensive support, and to create a society in which any business can establish its own brand thanks to CRM services.
Currently, we have more than 700 client accounts and provide our service with the mission of maximizing the EC revenues of well-known companies.
N.B: it is worthy of note that the CRM market is regularly cited as a market that is expected to continue to show steady growth in the future, and that in this context, our business is also in rapid expansion.
