Nissin Foods Holdings has implemented Qlik as a core component of its newly developed data integration and analytics platform. This solution now enables the company to leverage real-time data from its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, integrated with Snowflake, for smarter and faster decision-making.
Nissin Foods Holdings is focused on building a data-driven management platform to improve operations across the company. Prior to Qlik’s introduction, data from its SAP-based core system was fragmented across multiple platforms, making it difficult to establish a unified solution.
Additionally, manual data updates once a day meant the company lacked real-time data, hampering decision-making and adding operational burdens.
With the adoption of Qlik, Nissin Foods Group, a subsidiary of Nissin Foods Holdings, gained the ability to access the most up-to-date data, with real-time data integration directly linked to Snowflake. This eliminated the need for manual data downloads, vastly improving data utilization and speeding up decision-making processes.
In the logistics and sales departments, AI-powered automation has made it possible to track critical data, such as shipments and sales, and alert staff of anomalies and other decision-critical information in real time.
Qlik is expected to help Nissin Foods Group to operate more efficiently across its various business domains.
Toshihiro Narita, executive officer and CIO of Nissin Foods Holdings, said their 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,” said Narita. “We have high expectations for its impact on supply chain management, sales and overall business decisions. Moving forward, we plan to further leverage Qlik’s technology and expertise to harness our employees’ knowledge as AI-ready data.”
