CL Holdings achieves business efficiency improvement with new core system based on "SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition" - Consolidating business processes with accompanying support and building an efficient flow for utilizing management resources -
Focus Systems Corporation(Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Mori Keiichi; hereinafter referred to as "Focus Systems") has upgraded the ERP system of CL Holdings Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Uchikawa Junichiro; hereinafter referred to as "CL Holdings") to a new core system based on the cloud ERP system "SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition" provided by SAP Japan Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Suzuki Hirofumi; hereinafter referred to as "SAP Japan").
CL Holdings is a company that is making great strides with a unique business model that connects intellectual property (IP) content and corporate marketing. Legs Inc. (CEO: Satoshi Yamashita, hereinafter referred to as "Legs"), a group company of CL Holdings and the predecessor to the current organizational structure, used to operate its business processes and tools in an individually optimized manner, which meant that it was unable to standardize all operations and it was difficult to accurately grasp the "movement of goods and money" from a company-wide perspective.
Therefore, they felt it was necessary to restructure their business management system centered on accounting, and introduced SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition, a global standard ERP, in 2019. By adopting the Fit to Standard method, which aligns business operations with the system, and the Clean Core method, which keeps the ERP itself clean, they aimed to reduce implementation costs and standardize business processes.
Focus Systems was updated to a new core system in a short period of about nine months.
The introduction of this new core system has made it possible to obtain the information necessary for management decisions in a timely manner, shortening monthly closing processing by more than five days, settlement processing by more than 15 days, and inventory status understanding by more than 20 days (reducing inventory time and eliminating five inventory staff).
LEGS' new core system will be rolled out as a successful model to CL Holdings' group companies in the future. By further strengthening the management base throughout the group, LEGS will support the expansion of CL Holdings' business.
