Introduction
Frontline Technology Corporation, based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, specializes in the manufacturing and sale of grinding equipment and technical consulting related to semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing. Recently, they have shared their experience utilizing Metoree, an industrial product search service operated by ZAZA Corporation. This partnership has led to a remarkable increase in inquiries, with numbers increasing over six times in just two years.
Background and Challenges
Since its establishment in 2011, Frontline Technology primarily employed traditional sales methods, relying on phone calls to reach potential clients. However, recognizing the limitations of this approach, they realized they needed to explore digital marketing strategies to broaden their outreach. In 2021, they discovered Metoree and decided to use the platform as a cost-effective way to initiate web-based customer acquisition.
Being a small team of just over ten individuals, concerns regarding costs and the operational burden of digital marketing were significant. Yet, the accessible pricing and simplicity of using Metoree encouraged them to take the plunge and try it out.
Achievements After Implementation
The results of implementing Metoree into their business strategy were impressive:
- - Increased Inquiries: The number of inquiries generated through their website doubled in 2021 compared to 2020, skyrocketing to over six times in 2022.
- - High-Quality Leads: The inquiries received were specific and detailed, facilitating quicker movement towards securing contracts.
- - Effective Support: The advice and support from Metoree's customer service proved invaluable, allowing them to achieve significant results with minimal effort.

Quote from Frontline Technology
Mr. Iiba, a sales representative at Frontline Technology, noted, “Before we implemented Metoree, we received fewer than ten inquiries through our website in 2020. After starting with Metoree, we saw these inquiries nearly double in 2021 and increase more than six times in 2022. The inquiries were far more specific, indicating that clients were reaching out with a clear need, which helped expedite the sales process.”
As a small business, the company faced challenges regarding costs and operational complexities, but the affordability of Metoree allowed them to start easily. They also appreciated the regular feedback and recommendations from Metoree, which included improvements directed at enhancing their website’s inquiry pathways, enabling them to work efficiently with their small team.
