SmartHR introduced the CX (customer experience) platform “KARTE” in 2018, and it is mainly used in the area of customer success for client companies. KARTE understands customers and develops measures based on it, such as promoting self-onboarding and introducing new functions.
In order to expand the use of first party customer data analyzed by KARTE to the marketing field, we decided to introduce KARTE Signals.

Comment from Chiharu Araki, Lead Generation Digital Unit, Marketing Group, SmartHR Co., Ltd.
From February 2023, we have moved programmatic advertising in-house. We have been using KARTE for a long time, so we introduced KARTE Signals because we needed to improve not only the results of advertising but also the efficiency of our operations.
In my department, we track MQL (*4) and SQL (*5) as KPIs. and SQL can now be acquired. Especially with display ads, it’s quite difficult to acquire SQL, but by distributing to similar users of MQL and SQL, we are able to acquire more SQL, so I’m glad we introduced it.
In addition to targeting for ad distribution, KARTE Signals also has a conversion completion function and a function to improve the optimization accuracy of automatic bidding, so I am making full use of them.
