Chop Cheong Bee: How a poultry farm automated end-to-end systems from farm management to sales
CCB supplies live chickens across Malaysia and Singapore. After many years of developing the farm, CCB was recognised as the ‘Outstanding Broiler Farm’ at the Malaysian Livestock Industry Awards 2018.
As the business grew and became more complex, CCB was experiencing inefficiencies in field data collection, real-time farm monitoring and or der management. They needed a customised digital platform to integrate front and back-office processes into one central hub.
- Farming and distributing live chickens to markets across Malaysia and Singapore, providing millions of people with affordable meat, CCB’s manual processes were slowing growth
- Existing software only managed financial accounts, so business insights were limited
- Manual data analysis was time-consuming and susceptible to human error
- As the production plant grew and became more complex, CCB faced several inefficient operations such as on field data collection, real-time farm monitoring and order management
- By digitising all aspects of the broiler farm, from housing day-old chicks through to their sale, cash flow has improved by optimising the use of resources
- Recording age and weight of poultry now takes one farmer half a day, previously taking 4 farmers 3 days
- Before 6 staff were needed for data entry, now 4 have been transferred to the HR department
- End-to-end automation eliminates errors, improves quality, increases staff productivity and lowers costs
- Real-time business data and tracking enables management to make informed decisions
- Less waste of poultry livestock due to better analysis and monitoring during production
- With integrated and customisable modules for accounting, field activities, farm management, planning and analytics, SAP Business One streamlines and standardises farming operations from end to end
- CCB engaged SAP Platinum Partner Axxis Consulting as they are experts in using SAP Business One to streamline small businesses, with proven experience in farming, agriculture and distribution
