Success stories with Sactona
Molding Machine Division, Japan Steel Works, Ltd.
The speed and accuracy of monthly budget and actual management operations have significantly improved. We also enjoy the secondary effects such as being able to manage daily forecasts and actual results and check provisional figures before finalization.
| What the client says |
"The time between the decision to introduce Sactona and the start of operations was short, and we began with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, but we completed the application on Sactona to 39 management forms related to performance reporting and advance order reporting in about two months. The speed and accuracy of the monthly forecasting and management operations have both increased dramatically, with the secondary effects of daily forecasting and management and the ability to check provisional figures before they are finalized. In the future, we plan to expand the scope of enterprise performance management.” |
|---|---|
| Background at the time of introduction | The Molding Machinery Division has a large number of products and a fast business cycle among our company's divisions. For this reason, we conduct monthly management mainly by comparing the forecast and actual results as a routine task. After extracting data from multiple systems, we had to create many documents by transcribing them to a standard Excel form, which made it difficult to manage budget and actual results quickly and accurately. In addition, the created documents were scattered and not sufficiently shared. To solve these problems, we were looking for a system that could easily integrate data with existing systems and make use of existing Excel. |
