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
