Business Engineering Corporation, Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masakazu Haneda; hereinafter "B-EN-G") today announced the implementation of GLASIAOUS, a cloud-based international accounting and ERP service, by Tokyo Consulting Firm Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CFO: Yusuke Kobayashi; hereinafter "TCF"), a leading global accounting and ERP company. Case URL: https://www.glasiaous.com/cases/detail/985. TCF used GLASIAOUS to unify the accounting infrastructure of its overseas bases, thereby standardizing operations, eliminating dependency on individual talent, and streamlining its back office. Furthermore, the company provides bookkeeping services leveraging this unified infrastructure to its end clients, providing advanced customer services such as centralized management of accounting data, accelerated monthly closing, and the establishment of a real-time monitoring system by its Japanese headquarters.

■Issues before implementation

• Because TCF's overseas bases used different accounting systems, it was not possible to uniformly manage multinational data for client companies, and business processes differed from base to base, resulting in a high degree of personalization.
• It was difficult for the client's Japanese headquarters to establish a system that would enable them to monitor and manage the accounting status of their overseas bases in real time, and the monthly reporting work burden on expatriates was heavy.
• The company was unable to propose to its customers an accounting system for small and medium-sized enterprises that supported multiple languages, currencies, and standards, and also had headquarters governance functions.

■ Benefits of introducing TCF
By implementing GLASIAOUS, TCF achieved the following benefits:

• By unifying the accounting infrastructure of overseas bases, we are now able to centrally manage customer accounting data.
• In addition to standardizing back-office operations, we eliminated the dependency on individual tasks and established a workflow.
• We are now able to provide solutions that meet the needs of customers expanding globally.

As a result, the company is now able to focus on providing high-value-added services such as management reform consulting and global M&A business.

■ Benefits of providing GLASIAOUS to customers

• A real-time monitoring system was established by the client's Japanese headquarters, making it possible to prevent fraud risks at overseas bases.
• By unifying the accounting base, monthly accounting periods were shortened and reporting by expatriates was made more efficient, which also improved the speed of management decision-making.
• Even small and medium-sized enterprises can now achieve global accounting management at the level of large corporations.

■Comment from TCF
By implementing GLASIAOUS, we are now able to unify the management of finances and accounting at our overseas bases. In addition, our client companies have given us high praise, saying things like, "The accelerated monthly settlement has improved the speed of management decisions," and "The reporting burden on expatriates has been significantly reduced." Furthermore, the real-time monitoring system by our Japanese headquarters is extremely effective as a fraud prevention measure for our overseas bases, and has made a significant contribution to improving the quality of our customer service.
We have high hopes for GLASIAOUS as it plans to implement and enhance its AI functions in the future, and we would like to actively cooperate in improving product quality.

■ Future developments
Going forward, B-EN-G will continue to contribute to resolving the management issues of clients expanding globally, aiming to improve corporate competitiveness and achieve sustainable growth in the global market. Furthermore, through the GLASIAOUS Consortium, we will incorporate the practical knowledge of accounting firms such as TCF, while promoting continuous improvement and functional enhancement of our products, and will support the global expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises.
