<About Lazuli Inc.> Lazuli Inc. was founded in July 2020. By leveraging advanced AI technology, we are developing and providing SaaS that allows everyone involved in business, including those responsible for DX, e-commerce, and marketing, to use product information from around the world. As products are manufactured, distributed, and sold, product-related data is not yet being smoothly synchronized between companies or even within a company. We believe this is one of the major factors hindering DX efforts in the manufacturing, retail, and pharmaceutical industries. To solve this, Lazuli develops and provides "SaaS-based cloud product master Lazuli PDP," which enables people involved in business to easily access product information.

For those who have challenges or concerns with product master data or customer analysis, or who are interested in Lazuli PDP, please contact us here.
