Japanese mobile analytics provider <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=repro" target="_blank">Repro</a> has raised JPY300 million ($2.6 million) in a round led by <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.jafco.co.jp/english/" target="_blank">Jafco Co Ltd</a> and <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=Voyage+Ventures" target="_blank">Voyage Ventures</a>.
The funding will be used by Repro to expand in the United States, said a report in <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://thebridge.jp/en/2016/03/repro-funding-for-global-expansion" target="_blank">The Bridge</a>.
The Tokyo-based company had previously raised 100 million yen ($835,000) from DG Incubation, Brain Pad, and Shift in May last year. It was supported by KDDI Mugen Labo&#8217;s incubation boot camp program in 2014.
Repro provides a software development kit (SDK) to app developers, that helps them record videos of mobile app usage. The platform enables recording of how users use various features of the app, including their facial expressions during that time.
Developers use the visual recording to analyze problem areas quickly and fix issues. The SDK allows clients to embed push notification and in-app messaging options for better user engagement through more personalized marketing.
Chief Executive Officer Yusuke Hirata has said that the platform has received interest outside Japan, and from sectors such as retail and other services where this technology can be used. It is currently being used mainly by clients in the app development and in sectors such as games, news, e-commerce and other IT sectors. Repro has been adopted by more than 1,400 mobile apps in 18 countries.
Hirata said that the company plans to launch a desktop-based platform later.
Jafco has previously invested in the analytical software space. It put in $2.5 million in <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=Walcul" target="_blank">Walcul</a>, a Tokyo-based startup that has a product to automatically suggest improvements to a website.
