Case Study: Ajinomoto achieves group-wide data-driven business transformation with ABeam Consulting

Ajinomoto integrates data across 15 use cases with ABeam Consulting

Ajinomoto Co., Inc., a global food and seasoning manufacturer, faced a challenge in breaking down data and system silos across its independent global subsidiaries to enable data-driven management and accelerate its business transformation. To address this, Ajinomoto partnered with ABeam Consulting to develop and implement a comprehensive, Group-wide data management system called ADAMS (Ajinomoto Data Management System).

ABeam Consulting implemented a use-case-driven approach, initially focusing on domestic supply chain management to integrate valuable operational data. This solution led to the successful integration of data into 15 specific use cases, reducing manual workloads—such as sales forecasting—and freeing employees for higher-value tasks. The initiative fostered cross-functional data utilization, enabled a rolling forecast for profit maximization, and sparked organic expansion of ADAMS across the company, with plans to scale globally.
