<About Lazuli>

Lazuli is a startup founded in July 2020. Leveraging advanced AI technology, it is developing and providing SaaS that allows anyone involved in business, such as those in charge of DX, EC, and marketing, to use product information from around the world. In the process of manufacturing, distribution, and sales, product-related data is not smoothly synchronized between companies or even within a company. We believe this is one of the major factors hindering DX promotion in manufacturing and retail companies. To solve this, Lazuli develops and provides the cloud-based product master "Lazuli PDP," which enables people involved in business to easily access product information.
