Success stories with Sactona
MAXVALU NISHINIHON Co., Ltd.
In addition to management accounting numbers, Sactona also enabled centralized data management for labor hours, sales floor area and the others, making it possible to analyze information from multiple perspectives, such as labor efficiency and floor efficiency.
| What the client says | “We had been using Excel macros to manage our business figures, but we introduced Sactona as a business management system to improve operational efficiency. The speed of data aggregation has improved dramatically, as staff in the management department, who do not have specialist knowledge, can respond flexibly and quickly to changes in the number of stores, organization and product categories. We can also consolidate various data in Sactona and perform multifaceted information analysis, which is useful for managing our enterprise performance.” |
|---|---|
| Background at the time of introduction | We were using Excel macros to manage business figures, but the management of the tools was becoming too personalized. The burden on the staff in charge of the work was also great, as errors in the macros would stop the aggregation process, and the increase in the number of departments meant that it took time to check the aggregation results, so we decided that it would be difficult to continue using Excel macros in the future, given the increase in the number of stores. |
| Decisive factors for selecting Sactona |
・Sactona is based on Excel, so users can operate it without any problems, and only a short period of training is required. ・Sactona incorporates know-how as a enterprise performance management application platform, so it can be used immediately after it is introduced. ・Any person in charge in the department can easily handle day-to-day operations, including the creation of reports. |
| Implementation Outcomes |
■ In the budget formulation process, the budget figures drawn up by the stores are aggregated in real time, so it has been possible to reduce the time taken and formulate budgets with greater precision. ■ In the case of creating performance reports, once the format is prepared, it became possible to create and distribute the reports almost automatically, which has reduced the amount of work required, eliminated the human error, and sped up management decisions. ■ In addition to management accounting numbers, Sactona also enables the centralized data management for labor hours and sales floor area data, making it possible to analyze information from multiple perspectives, such as labor efficiency and floor efficiency. |
