Tokyo-December 13, 2024-Hakuhodo Inc. and Hakuhodo DY ONE Inc. jointly established the global strategic network H+ (H Plus) (Note 1) in 2020. Since its inception, H+ has continued to expand, with 24 companies across nine countries working together as a unified team and achieving numerous results. Now, to further strengthen digital transformation (DX) in these countries, H+ has launched H+ Intelligence, a new planning platform to accelerate business growth for companies in ASEAN using sei-katsu-sha-centered planning. The new platform will be offered first in Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
H+ Intelligence is a new system and structure designed to realize Hakuhodo's Sei-katsu-sha Insight (Note 2) philosophy at a higher level and to further advance planning. It provides an environment and framework for accessing anonymized and diverse sei-katsu-sha data. By leveraging AI-powered analytical platforms, it enables more vivid sei-katsu-sha insight and facilitates advanced planning.
