Fiscal 2013 Performance and Main
Accomplishments
Business segment sales increased 13.2% year on
year to ¥251.6 billion. This increase mainly reflected
steady฀growth฀in฀sales฀to฀manufacturing฀and฀retail/
services sectors.
Operating income improved ¥4.9 billion year on year
to ¥5.5 billion, mainly due to higher sales.
In fiscal 2013 for the manufacturing sector, drawing
on its experience in overhauling core systems, NEC
implemented a common IT platform for Asahi Group
Holdings, Ltd. NEC also provided a system for
managing contracted sales by pharmaceutical
companies through wholesale channels to multiple
companies in the form of a hybrid system that
combines cloud services and system integration
features.
For฀the฀retail/services฀sector,฀NEC฀implemented฀a฀
new distribution system for real-time tracking and
management of the inventory of main ingredients used
by฀Mister฀Donut,฀which฀is฀managed฀by฀DUSKIN฀CO.,฀
LTD., and began providing a cloud service for Toyo
Logistics Co., Ltd. that enables the company to
efficiently verify the position of cargo in transport,
inventory availability and other status information. NEC
also focused on proposals for solutions utilizing smart
devices such as tablet terminals and received orders for
an IT platform for Lawson, Inc. to improve the
administrative efficiency of store trainers and for a
customer service support system for Kojima Co., Ltd.
In addition, steady progress was made on initiatives
for expanding new business domains. As a part of
efforts to bolster Big Data-related businesses, NEC
launched machine-to-machine (M2M) utilization
solutions for customers in manufacturing and other
sectors for when they begin business activities using
M2M technologies. The solution provides end-to-end
support for business development through integrated
services that are needed at different stages, from
planning to commercialization. NEC has begun
supplying the solution to machinery manufacturers.
Furthermore, utilizing its manufacturing know-how,
NEC provided comprehensive assistance for
production innovations at NEPON Inc., helping the
company reinforce its business base by reducing
inventory and improving cash flow. Going forward,
NEC will continue working in this way to create value
together with customers.
