Fujitsu subsidiary FSAS Technologies reports millions of dollars in inventory optimization savings after implementing Celonis Process Intelligence across its supply chain.
The company announced a 20% reduction in excess inventory and a 50% reduction in inventory orders in the first six months of implementation.
FSAS Technologies is responsible for Fujitsu’s server and storage operations. Fujitsu established FSAS Technologies to combine its server and storage business units. The company describes itself as a provider of data center solutions with a focus on servers, storage and integrated systems.
Emphasis on inventory
FSAS Technologies used Celonis Process Intelligence Platform for inventory management. This software allows visibility into inventory levels. The company also received AI-enhanced recommendations on when to purchase materials, when to reallocate materials, and when to refrain from purchasing materials.
Celonis said the platform connected systems, teams and processes across FSAS Technologies’ supply chain. The companies also warned against expanding the work to other business processes.
Inventory management remains an ongoing cost pressure for technology hardware operations, especially when product cycles and component availability can change rapidly. Companies often aim to balance service levels with low inventory-bound working capital.
Fujitsu positioned the introduction as part of a broader push for the use of data, decision-making and AI within the group.
“Using Celonis, we have been able to reduce costs by providing our teams with the data and context they need to make faster, smarter decisions. “This will not only change the way Fujitsu operates, but also the way we support our customers in reaching unprecedented levels of efficiency,” said Kazushi Koga, SEVP, Platform Lead, Fujitsu.
process intelligence
Celonis sells software with a focus on process intelligence. The company said it aims to show organizations how work actually flows across systems and teams. We also position this approach as a way to give business context to AI systems.
“Many enterprises struggle with AI because models and agents alone cannot understand how the business operates. Fujitsu shows you what it really takes to unlock the full potential of enterprise AI. By grounding AI in process intelligence, Fujitsu automatically triggers the right actions to continuously improve the way your business operates, enabling you to understand how your business operates in complex global We are setting new standards for how quickly, reliably and reliably our operations can run,” says Bastian Nominacher.
Celonis said its approach points to areas where enterprises can deploy AI solutions. It also said it will continue to provide context to AI and align it with other work going on across the organization.
wider deployment
The companies said they plan to expand the use of process intelligence beyond inventory-related activities. Fujitsu also described itself as a Celonis partner in customer engagement. The company said it works with IT services customers in multiple markets to transform their businesses using process intelligence.
The partnership positions Fujitsu on both sides of the relationship, both as a user of Celonis technology in its own operations and as a service partner working with customers who adopt the Celonis platform.
For FSAS Technologies, the reported near-term results are centered around reduced order volumes and lower overstock levels. The next stage of work will include deployment across additional processes as Fujitsu and Celonis expand their use of the platform.
