Comment from Yuki Ikehata, Executive Officer, LINE Corporation
“With its LINE-compatible API tool DialogOne® and other solutions, DAC has supported companies in their one-to-one communication with users. Last year, DAC newly developed a connected service for a major automobile manufacturer that provides LINE users information on predicted travel time and gasoline consumption to a particular destination. Because of this and other services that actively promote new ways to use LINE, we awarded DAC the Best Account Solution Award. In addition to these initiatives, with a wealth of LINE-related service offerings and support experience, we gave DAC the highest Diamond ranking for the fourth consecutive time, this time as a Technology Partner in the LINE Account Connect category. Furthermore, we certified DAC as a Planning Partner in the same LINE Account Connect category for its business solutions that utilize LINE’s platform. We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with DAC as an important LINE and LINE Account Connect partner.”

By providing various solutions through our strong partnership with LINE, DAC will continue to support corporate marketing activities.
