Case Study: Toshiba strengthens export compliance with Babel Street Match

Toshiba Strengthens Internal Export Control System with Name Matching by BasisTech

Toshiba, the multinational conglomerate, needed a better way to strengthen export compliance by screening companies and individuals against rapidly changing watchlists across multiple languages and scripts. Manual review was too time-consuming, and partial or pattern-based matching often missed or misidentified names. Toshiba turned to Rosette for name matching support.

Rosette’s matching capabilities helped Toshiba improve verification accuracy using phonetics, machine learning, and algorithms designed for complex name variations. The system could match Latin-script watchlists against Japanese, Chinese, and Korean scripts, handle typos and aliases, and recognize old-style and modern Japanese Kanji. As a result, Toshiba significantly reduced omissions from manual and visual watchlist checks while increasing matching efficiency.
