KOSHIDAKA Co., Ltd. | SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Implementation Story
Transforming the Business Foundation to Lead the Entertainment Market in Japan and Beyond
KOSHIDAKA Co., Ltd. operator of Japan’s largest karaoke chain “Karaoke Manekineko,” manages approximately 660 locations nationwide and is actively expanding into other Asian markets.
To support its ongoing innovation and global growth strategy centered on the entertainment business, the company undertook a major transformation of its business foundation by implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, with full support from Avally.

Separate journal entries for each entity increased workload and reduced efficiency.
