IT service provider, Andurar, has offered IT solutions to Oyster Agribusiness Limited, leading to improved efficiency and cost-cutting measures for the company.
The agribusiness firm had previously relied on manual systems in most parts of its operation which is causing challenges in the inventory across locations and delayed visibility into farming balances, inefficiencies in production management.
But with the introduction of the custom-made Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform hosted securely on Andurar Cloud, tailored to Oyster’s operational realities rather than generic software assumptions, the agribusiness firm has moved from fragmented processes to an integrated, data-driven enterprise.
For such a company, ambition matches the vast acres it cultivates across some Regions of Ghana, and working with over 1,400 smallholder farmers, the ERP has led to efficiencies such as a famer-centric operating core, intelligent goods and services management, advanced warehouse and logistics control.
Goods and services management also guarantee procurement and vendor registry, asset register and goods/services upload, consumption tracking and purchase orders, and transparent allocation of inputs.
With the introduction of the ERP system, inventory management, financial accounting, production tracking and executive reporting are all now integrated on a single, cohesive platform.
Since going live, Oyster Agribusiness also benefits from standardized and automated workflows, real-time visibility across operations, logistics and finance, greater financial transparency and reporting accuracy, improved coordination across departments, and stronger engagement with its network of smallholder farmers.
“As we’ve grown, it has become clear that we need to transition to modern systems that can streamline and strengthen our operations.
“This ERP enables to work more efficiently internally while enhancing the value we deliver to our farmers.”
Mr Hayford, digital and operations manager at Oyster Agribusiness said when processes are seamless and information is transparent, improved customer satisfaction becomes a natural outcome.
“At Andurar, our mission is clear: to empower African enterprises to automate at least 80% of manual processes and operate with the precision of the world’s best organisations,” the manager said.
Oyster Agribusiness has demonstrated what happens when vision meets execution.
This is what digital transformation looks like when it is done properly, not imposed or coercive but engineered around the business itself.
The country manager of Andurar, Christopher Tetteh said, “If organisation is ready to replace fragmentation with clarity, and guesswork with intelligence, Andurar stands ready to build the platform that will take one forward”.
The IT service provider does not sell technology but instead help organisations run faster, safer and smarter through Robotic Process Automation.
