Sansan is a cloud-based/business card-based contact management/CRM system for companies and teams. It has 6,000+ corporate customers worldwide. Sansan Inc. dominates its market in Japan, and is available in an entirely English system. Users increase productivity and efficiency, more effectively follow up on leads, and companies change how they work, all benefitting the bottom line.
Sansan is centered on business cards, which are a rich source of first-party data, with superb accuracy. With this in mind, we use a proprietary combination of OCR and highly secure human transcription, in harmony with machine learning, to deliver 99.9% accurate digitization. And it’s not just English and Japanese – Sansan’s intelligent data recognition can read and digitize most of the world’s major languages.
This business card data serves as the core of a proprietary and shareable database of all contacts that a company acquires. The database grows into a priceless company asset, accessible via web and mobile apps. When used across departments and branches, human networks/connections can be visualized, and authorized users can uncover leads they didn’t even know existed within the company.
The process from business card to actionable data is simple and seamless:
1. Scan business cards with the Sansan Scanner Set or mobile app. Wait a short while for our system to accurately acquire and confirm the data.
2. Data from scanned cards goes into a database accessible at a level of administration you control.
3. Authorized users can quickly follow up on new leads, manage contacts, track communications and sales progress, and seek out and share opportunities. This cooperation is simply impossible when people keep acquired business cards to themselves (and often lose them).
We also have inbuilt integration with Salesforce and through Zapier, and our Open API enables seamless integration with multiple other tools.
