JVCKENWOOD Corporation (JVCKENWOOD), a leading video, audio and telecommunications manufacturer in Japan, has implemented Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), including Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), to help simplify and standardize financial planning and analysis, increase productivity, reduce costs and improve controls.

"We have been working on a company-wide digital transformation to enhance operational processes, increase employee productivity, and maximize our business margin,” said Yoshio Sonoda, director, managing executive officer, chief technology officer, chief

DKI Logistics is a third-party logistics- and warehouse hotel (3PL) headquartered in Horsens. The company wanted to streamline receiving and emptying of containers and the following handling of the goods. To meet the customers’ needs, DKI Logistics has invested in a new and big sorting system which is managed by the warehouse management system LOGIA. The sorting system is 6.000 square meters and is equipped with three container feeds. The three feeds have a capacity of 1500 cartons in an hour and can empty three containers at the same time. Each container entails one or more purchase orders which describe the container’s content and can also in advance have specific sales orders attached for direct delivery or sorting. When containers are registered on arrival, LOGIA prioritizes the order in which they must be emptied, based on existing sales orders. The containers are emptied by using a conveyor belt and transported directly to the
