Case Study: Sanrio boosts efficiency and cloud transformation with Calsoft Systems and Microsoft Dynamics 365

Sanrio boosts real-time data efficiency by 30% with Calsoft Systems

Sanrio, Inc., a subsidiary known for its Hello Kitty brand and kawaii-themed products, faced significant challenges with its outdated Lawson ERP system running on AS400 technology. The legacy system caused data inaccuracies due to mixed units of measure and struggled with over 30 complex integrations for eCommerce and third-party logistics. After an initial Dynamics 365 partner failed to meet expectations, Sanrio engaged Calsoft Systems for their expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to lead their digital transformation.

Calsoft Systems successfully implemented Dynamics 365, including Finance and Supply Chain modules, and rebuilt all critical integrations for Sanrio's online stores and warehouse partners. The project was completed and went live within eight months of Calsoft's engagement. The results included a 30% increase in operational efficiency for data processing and a 100% transition to a cloud environment, which provided vital remote access during COVID-19. Calsoft delivered the project on time and on budget, achieving accurate data interfaces and a solid accounting foundation.
