Success stories with Sactona
LIXIL Corporation
In just two months from the project kickoff, we were able to launch the FP&A system that is used all over the world.
| What the client says | “In just two months from the start of the project, we were able to start using the management system worldwide. Our management operations are in a period of rapid change, with globalization and the adoption of IFRS. Because the requirements were fluid, to be honest, I felt that systemization would be difficult for the time being. Sactona is a very light and flexible system, so we were able to achieve our unique specifications in a short period of time. Because it can be operated by our members alone, we can respond quickly to organizational changes without incurring costs.” |

| Background at the time of introduction |
・As the company rapidly globalized through aggressive overseas M&A, management operations were being run using Excel to collect and aggregate data, and efficiency and immediacy had become pressing issues. ・Furthermore, the company was in a period of flux in terms of management requirements, with the introduction of IFRS and new management indicators, and there was a need for a system that could quickly respond to changes without incurring costs after implementation. |
| Decisive factors for selecting Sactona |
■Can be implemented immediately Implementation needed within two months to match the new system ■Easy to change specifications after implementation Quick changes can be made without incurring costs for in-house work ■Minimal burden on input staff Many companies have recently joined the group, so it is easy to proceed with work requests using Excel-based Sactona ■Multi-language support Support for Japanese, English and Chinese is required for global use |
| Implementation Outcomes |
・The system was up and running within two months of the start of the project, and efficiency improvements were achieved from the first management report under the new system. ・Through the implementation project, all members of the company received training, and a system was established that could quickly respond to organizational restructuring and the enhancement of the report lineup. ・Simultaneous aggregation using one input was also achieved for both IFRS and J-GAAP standards. |
