“TECH BEAT Shizuoka 2023” is an event where businesses in Shizuoka Prefecture that need technology for business growth and problem solving can meet startups from around the world through large-scale events and community operations. At the Lazuli booth, under the concept of “The product data revolution — taking CX and DX to the highest level with Lazuli PDP —” we will set up a corner where visitors can experience a demo of SaaS “Lazuli PDP (Product Data Platform),” which centrally manages product information existing in ERP systems and inside and outside the company in the cloud, uses AI to rapidly and accurately perform entity matching and integration, and organizes and adds information in a form that is easy to use for e-commerce and digital initiatives. Staff with extensive expertise will also respond to inquiries about the overview and mechanism of Lazuli PDP, customer case studies, and implementation consultations. Product information is often collected and organized manually and imported into e-commerce systems, marketing tools, and the like. By using Lazuli PDP, an easy-to-implement SaaS (cloud software), companies can establish the data foundation known as the product master, enabling e-commerce and various initiatives to be carried out smoothly.
What is Lazuli PDP (Product Data Platform)?

Lazuli PDP, developed and provided by Lazuli, is a cloud service for centrally managing product information that was scattered across multiple external databases and organizing and expanding it into a form that is easy to use. It uses AI to perform entity matching on diverse product master data held by manufacturers, retailers, pharmaceutical companies, and others, and adds meta tags and associations based on product characteristics. This information is delivered to users through Lazuli PDP.
About Lazuli
Lazuli is a startup founded in July 2020. Leveraging advanced AI technology and the cloud, we are developing and providing SaaS as a cloud service that enables anyone involved in business, such as DX, e-commerce, and marketing professionals, to access product information from around the world. As products are manufactured, distributed, and sold, data related to products is not being smoothly synchronized between companies, or even within a company, at present. We believe this is one of the major factors hindering the promotion of DX in manufacturing, retail, and pharmaceuticals. To solve this, Lazuli is developing and providing “SaaS-based cloud product master Lazuli PDP,” which enables people involved in business to easily access product information. If you have concerns about product masters or are interested in Lazuli PDP, please contact us here. *“Lazuli,” its logo, and the product and service names listed are trademarks or registered trademarks of Lazuli.
