Make Product
Data
Simpler

Lazuli Inc. has developed a platform that integrates and refines the data held by every company dealing with product information, enabling export in a more user-friendly manner. We are tirelessly leveraging innovative technology to make essential product data available to everyone when they need it, in the format they prefer.

Mission

Organize product information and make it accessible and useful

Established in July 2020, Lazuli stands by this mission.

Managing and leveraging product information has always faced fundamental challenges. It's rare for a company to manufacture, transport, and sell a product entirely in-house. More often, multiple companies supply parts and materials to create one product. Even more companies become involved when it comes to selling that product.

While products (goods) flow through this creation, transport, and sales process, the flow of information remains impeded. Products, once made, retain their form and are physically transported for sale. However, information varies by company, requiring significant effort to transfer between entities.

This seemingly straightforward flow of information often stagnates, slowing down corporate digitalization and the potential efficiencies and benefits.

While the supply chain and logistics of products continually evolve, many fundamental challenges around the supply chain of product information remain untouched.

It's a vast and complex issue. But that's why the impact is even more significant when resolved.

With the power of AI and other technologies, along with sincerity, determination, and thoughtful approach, we want to collaborate with like-minded partners to tackle this foundational problem."

Vision

Transform Information Circulation

Currently, we live in a world where everything is digitized, interconnected, and constantly birthing new value. For this interconnectedness to flourish, there needs to be a seamless flow of data. We believe that the data concerning the ever-so-familiar 'products' has not yet fully achieved this connectivity. We envision a world where essential product data is accessible to everyone when needed, in the format they desire. To realize such a world, we tirelessly leverage innovative technology.

Advisor’s Message

As digital transformation progresses, it's natural that databases will become integrated. Having a product master and the nitty-gritty techniques for data matching and such are essential no matter how you look at it. I have been acquainted with Mr. Hagiwara since our time at Recruit, and he is a trustworthy person. With a good team also in place, I'm very excited about the future growth of the business.

As consumers and corporate operations become digitized, the need to organize product information has become evident for all businesses. Our startup, Treasure Data, provides solutions for organizing customer data. However, as the next step, we believe that Lazuli's product data solutions will enable various Japanese companies to further utilize data in marketing and supply chains. Also, through the growth and failure recipes of B2B SaaS startups cultivated by Yoshikawa & Ota, we look forward to supporting Lazuli's management for a long time.

Even as the world becomes more digitized, the infrastructure for product and service information still isn't in place. A vast amount of product information remains unorganized, flowing continuously without synchronizing with the flow of goods. By collecting, organizing, and expanding global product information using AI, and providing it in a user-friendly manner, a Product Data Platform (PDP) can be established where the movement of goods and information align. This platform will become essential for all businesses in the future. Additionally, PDP is indispensable for a company's DX (Digital Transformation) reform.
