Nissin Foods Holdings has implemented Qlik as a core component of its newly developed data integration and analytics platform to enable real-time decision-making across its business units.
Previously, the company’s SAP-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system generated fragmented data across multiple platforms, with manual daily updates hampering operational efficiency and slowing decision-making.
By adopting Qlik, Nissin Foods Group (a subsidiary of Nissin Foods Holdings) can now access the most up-to-date data, with real-time data integration directly linked to Snowflake. This eliminated manual downloads, which led to better data utilisation.
AI-powered automation has also been introduced in logistics and sales, enabling teams to track shipments and sales as well as receive alerts on anomalies or decision-critical issues in real time. Qlik is expected to help Nissin Foods Group to operate more efficiently across its various business domains.
“Our goal is to make Nissin Foods Group a company that thinks, communicates and makes decisions based on data. Integrating our ERP system into a single data platform is essential, and Qlik is at the core and the game-changer for us. We have high expectations for its impact on supply chain management, sales and overall business decisions,” says Toshihiro Narita, executive officer and CIO (Group Information Officer) of Nissin Foods Holdings.
He adds that the company plans to further leverage Qlik’s technology and expertise to harness its employees' knowledge as AI-ready data.
Maurizio Garavello, senior vice president of Asia Pacific and Japan at Qlik, adds: “Data quality—reliability, freshness, and diversity—is essential for making optimal business decisions. We’re excited to support Nissin Food Holdings for wide and real-time data integration efforts and look forward to furthering its digital transformation as it expands the platform across the organisation.”
