Case Study: TDmobile cuts invoicing man-hours by nearly 90% with embedded Yellowfin
Key results
The challenge
TDmobile, a Japanese mobile sales agency, faced increasingly complex carrier commissions and lacked a system to analyze them accurately. Administrative staff manually created monthly client invoices in individualized workflows, and accounting relied on estimated postings that grew less accurate as commissions became more complex.
The solution
TDmobile selected Yellowfin as an embedded, easy-to-use analytics core for its business, going live at the end of 2020. Invoices to clients are now generated automatically by formatting them as Yellowfin reports, and final accounting replaced the previous estimate-based method.
“Yellowfin has enabled us to build a system that allows us to perform in-depth analysis of major carrier commissions from a variety of perspectives.”

The results, in context
After automating invoice generation with Yellowfin, the man-hours each administrative staff member spent were reduced by nearly 90%. Work that previously took about 10 working days each month was reduced to about 2 working days, and standardization enabled staff job rotation.
