Retail conglomerate scaling digital infrastructure and global finance systems
MUJI operates a vertically integrated retail business spanning 29 countries, with ~7,500 SKUs and multiple brand extensions (Café&Meal MUJI, IDÉE, campsites). Current technical roadmap reveals a finance-first digitalization: SAP deployment, global accounting structure consolidation, and logistics digitalization dominate active projects. The hiring mix (finance, ops, product roles across senior/manager tiers, all in Japan) paired with pain points around consolidated reporting and BPO of operations suggests the company is restructuring its back-office to support international expansion — not a product innovation cycle.
Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. (MUJI) is a Japanese publicly listed manufacturer-retailer founded in 1989, operating the MUJI brand globally plus complementary businesses (Café&Meal MUJI, IDÉE design brand, owned campsites). The company handles planning, development, manufacturing, distribution, and retail across its footprint. MUJI's stated mission centers on providing genuinely valued products at affordable prices and positioning stores as community anchors. Current operational focus includes digital infrastructure (order and fulfillment platforms, web/app for in-store sales), global finance system harmonization, and logistics modernization.
Core systems: SAP (ERP, actively deploying), Salesforce, AWS, Microsoft 365 (Office, Active Directory). Design tooling via Figma. File storage via Box. Currently standardizing on SAP across global finance operations.
