Case Study: Akindo Sushiro achieves 10x faster business-performance reporting and enhanced analytics with Oracle Essbase (Oracle)

Akindo Sushiro Creates Business Performance Reports 10x Faster, Improves Analytic Capability, and Completes Deployment in Just One Month

Akindo Sushiro, a leading kaiten-sushi operator with 393 restaurants serving over 120 million customers annually, needed to replace slow, error-prone spreadsheet processes with an enterprise performance management system. The company required faster, multidimensional reporting and analytics to support rapid decision-making, respond to rising wages and fish prices, and enable international expansion while minimizing disruption to operations.

Working with Oracle partner BrainChild and deploying Oracle Essbase, Akindo Sushiro implemented an EPM system in one month that automates data aggregation, consolidates disparate formats, and delivers interactive dashboards and Office integration. The result: detailed, accurate performance reports produced 10x faster (half a day vs. up to five days), real-time multi-dimensional analytics for store-level KPIs and profitability, fewer errors, and quicker strategic responses to market changes.
