Story
Fast Retailing grew employee requests faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. HR, facilities, and finance ops were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Appian Platform put shared services on Appian. Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams. Fast Retailing keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so HR, facilities, and finance ops do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier shared services. Employee requests is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join HR, facilities, and finance ops without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
