• Synapz has begun operating services in product data bases (DB), e-commerce (EC), and social networking service (SNS) handling niche-market shopping goods with a pronounced hobby streak.
• Thus far, it has been the ordinary practice to utilize several sites, each for a different purpose, i.e., Site A for product impressions, Site B for price information, Site C for product purchase, and Site D for customer reviews. Synapz is developing business in services that integrate the product DB, EC, and SNS, and thereby cover the entire process with a single site.
• It focuses on human and material activity, and expects to improve the rate of product purchase. EC functions are scheduled to be implemented in Phase 2 of the development.
• Starting with niche-market survival games appealing to buffs, Synapz intends to develop services linking product DBs, information, on-line mail-order sales, and SNS communities.
