artience transforms corporate performance management with the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform from Wolters Kluwer

TOKYO – Sept. 29, 2026 – Wolters Kluwer today announced that artience Co., Ltd. has reduced its aggregation and reporting workload from three days to one day and enabled monthly ROIC visualization by business by implementing the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform. artience is a chemical manufacturer that originated in the manufacture and sale of printing inks and has expanded into fields such as energy, electronics, and bio/healthcare. 

The challenge

artience is transforming its business portfolio by establishing strategically focused business groups and strengthening its management approach around capital efficiency and shareholder value. As part of this, artience is pursuing “advanced management administration.” 

To advance its management administration, the Finance Department at the group headquarters faced several challenges: management data was dispersed across multiple systems; data collection for executive meetings and monthly reporting across approximately 60 domestic and overseas entities relied heavily on Excel; multilingual templates in Japanese, English, and Chinese were prepared manually; and manual data integration introduced errors and required time-consuming reconciliation.  

To address these challenges, artience selected the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform for its ability to globally integrate statutory and management accounting data and support transformation at scale, seamlessly integrating with SAP while supporting evolving business requirements.

Kumiko Minowa, Head of Asia Pacific and Japan for CCH Tagetik at Wolters Kluwer, said:
“We are deeply honored to have supported artience in its forward-looking management transformation. This is a powerful example of how the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform seamlessly supports complex, global finance operations,from data integration to reporting efficiency to data-driven decision-making.”

By implementing CCH Tagetik, artience has:
​

• Reduced aggregation and reporting workload from three days to one day, cutting the number of people required and achieving a more stable operational structure. 
• Near-eliminated template preparation, as multilingual functionality removed the need to create and maintain multiple reporting formats. 
• Enabled real-time centralized reporting, ensuring all stakeholders access consistent, up-to-date data for faster decision-making. 
• Improved data accuracy and reduced errors, as automation eliminates manual data handling and improves reporting reliability. 
• Strengthened data-driven management decision-making, with ROIC insights at the business level, on a monthly basis, now directly informing investment and business-portfolio decisions, including capital allocation and divestment strategies.

Takeshi Arimura, Managing Operating Officer in charge of Finance & Accounting, IR and Information System, artience Co., Ltd., said:
"The introduction of CCH Tagetik has significantly improved our operational efficiency, freeing up time to enable monthly visualization of ROIC by business and internal awareness activities. I believe this has become the starting point for a transformation toward management that is conscious of capital efficiency.” 

Looking ahead, by combining CCH Tagetik, SAP, and advanced BI tools, artience plans to further mature its data-driven management approach. The Finance function will continue to enhance capital efficiency while accelerating the adoption of data-driven decision-making across the Group. 

The implementation was led by Dentsu Soken Inc., a CCH Tagetik solution partner with extensive implementation experience and deep product knowledge, primarily in manufacturing industries.
