Case Study: Mitsubishi Electric achieves 99% faster sales analysis and company‑wide visibility with Board

Intelligent Planning at Mitsubishi Electric Reducing sales analysis time by 99%, boosting visibility, and moving from disparate processes to company-wide control

Mitsubishi Electric Ltd (UK) faced resource‑intensive, inflexible reporting from a legacy SAP ERP that relied on manual consolidation, spreadsheets and costly third‑party development for every report. This led to slow month‑end closes, two‑week reconciliations, fragmented budgeting and limited visibility across seven UK branches and six divisions, prompting a move to a single integrated platform.

Using the Board decision‑making platform (implemented with SDG Consulting) in a phased roll‑out from sales reporting to end‑to‑end quoting, logistics and after‑sales tracking, Mitsubishi Electric unified BI and CPM, enabled self‑service reporting and write‑back forecasting, and automated reconciliations. The results: sales analysis fell from 10 hours to seconds (≈99% reduction), standard reports now run in ~25 minutes, invoice reconciliation within an hour, improved planning accuracy and wider European adoption with plans to extend budgeting and forecasting company‑wide.
