Mission

Turning encounters into innovation

Our world has always been driven by encounters. People encounter people. 
Companies encounter companies. These chains of encounters move society forward.

 

We rediscover the potential of every encounter and transform it into unique business data.

 

That data sparks new encounters that lead to innovation, and it becomes the basis for entirely new ways of working.

 

Unrestricted by the accepted ways of doing each task and process, we reshape what’s taken for granted in business.

Our Competitive Advantages

The Sansan Group’s various strengths include strong brand recognition in Japan and deep sales and marketing expertise, and its unique system and technologies that digitize analog information quickly and accurately create major competitive advantages.

Technology alone cannot deliver accurate digitization, so we combine manual entry with technology to handle digitization across areas such as business cards and contacts, invoices, and contracts.

We have pursued accurate digitization supported by humans since our founding, and advances in machine learning and other AI now increase digitization speed and reduce costs.

Growth Strategy

In our medium-term financial policy, we aim for continued steady growth of net sales and accelerated growth of adjusted operating profit margin from FY2024 to FY2026.

For net sales, the most important management indicator, we aim for a three-year CAGR of 22–27%. For adjusted operating profit margin, we are accelerating growth while making investments for growth of net sales in each fiscal year and aiming for a profit margin of 18–23% in FY2026 and 30%+ over the long term.
