Logistics Multinational Cuts Reporting Time Spend by More Than Half with Atlas
Yusen Logistics improves automation, reduces reliance on IT department, and cuts time during the reporting cycle with insightsoftware's Atlas
Challenge
Yusen Logistics experienced the following challenges during its reporting:
- Accessing applicable data
- Manual, multi-step reporting processes
- A heavy reliance on IT to create or edit reports with manual, time-wasting bookkeeping
The organization evaluated the following reporting tools before selecting Atlas:
- A BI solution (Targit, JetReports, Zap, BI365)
- An Excel add-in
Solution
Yusen Logistics has not used Atlas as a replacement for Management Reporter. The organization uses the following supplemental reporting tools with Atlas:
- QlikView
Yusen Logistics also uses the Atlas query functionality for reporting beyond Financials/GL for the following types of reports beyond Financials/GL:
- Inventory Payables/Receivables
Results:
- Freed more than 50% of their organization’s IT support now that they have Atlas to create reports
- Trimmed more than 60% from their previous reporting process after using Atlas
"We couldn’t live without Atlas, so it is not a matter of time or cost saved, but existence. I can really make the statement that Microsoft Dynamic AX was implemented parallel with Atlas, so we can not imagine our ERP without it.”
