Nissin Foods Holdings has implemented Qlik as a core component of its newly developed data integration and analytics platform, enabling smarter and faster decision-making for the global food industry company by leveraging real-time data from its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
"We are genuinely committed to building a data-driven culture without relying too much on the strength of our brand. Our goal is to make Nissin Foods Group a company that thinks, communicates and makes decisions based on data. Integrating our ERP system into a single data platform is essential, and Qlik is at the core and the game-changer for us," Toshihiro Narita, executive officer and CIO (Group Information Officer) of Nissin Foods Holdings, said.
Data integration
Nissin Foods Group, a subsidiary of Nissin Foods Holdings, claims to have gained access to the most up-to-date data, with real-time data integration directly linked to Snowflake.
The adoption of Qlik has not only eliminated the need for manual data downloads but also significantly improved data utilisation and sped up decision-making processes.
Further, AI-powered automation has enabled the tracking of critical data, such as shipments and sales, and alerted staff to anomalies and other decision-critical information in real-time in the logistics and sales departments.
Digital transformation

Maurizio Garavello, senior vice president of Asia Pacific and Japan at Qlik, added, "Data quality—reliability, freshness, and diversity—is essential for making optimal business decisions. We're excited to support Nissin Food Holdings for wide and real-time data integration efforts and look forward to furthering its digital transformation as it expands the platform across the organisation."
Narita set high expectations for Qlik's impact on supply chain management, sales and overall business decisions. He said they also intend to leverage Qlik further to harness Nissin employees' knowledge as AI-ready data.
