Global Expansion Through Digitalization: A Beekeeping and Honey Distribution Success Story

Global Expansion Through Digitalization: A Beekeeping and Honey Distribution Success Story

As with many global organizations heavily dependent on supply chain, Comvita’s industry had global shifts in demand which expedited their need for an effective digital solution. They had envisioned a digital overhaul of their honey distribution process to meet global demand and expansion needs for years yet were unable to execute on it themselves. They engaged Cooperative Computing to help address some of the demands summarized below.  

Key Issues to Solve: 

  • Lack of Data-Driven Decisions 

For decades, they had successfully grown their business. However, they reached a bottleneck ultimately due to their inability to make data-driven decisions. Instead, they were making less educated guesses, and sometimes, no decision at all.  

  • Non-Integrated Legacy Systems 

While they had many stable, reliable systems implemented over the years, these systems were not well-integrated and did not talk well with one another. In addition, several of them were outdated lacking key capabilities to enable hyper personalization and automation. 

  • Operational Friction 

Because of some of these non-integrated systems and processes, operational friction was beginning to impact employee performance and morale. This had begun having a negative impact on the organization’s performance and ability to get and keep top talent. 

  • Inefficient Processes 

Although their team worked hard and was very committed to success, these operational challenges led to far too many inefficient processes being developed over time. This led to extra work in many cases and often had a negative impact on performance. 

When Comvita engaged Cooperative Computing to help solve these issues, they expressed interest in a single digital platform to help them become digitally enabled helping them accelerate into the automated economy. The following is how Cooperative Computing helped them get there. 

First, Cooperative Computing facilitated a Digital Maturity Experience with Comvita’s leadership team to assess and better understand the key issues and the impacts they were having on the business, align on a joint strategy to help them reach digital enablement, and an execution plan to get them get there. 

Second, Cooperative Computing architected a personalized digital platform capable of allowing Comvita to integrate with all areas of their business in real-time including branding and marketing, sales and commerce, operations and fulfilment, customer engagement, and delivery management. This platform allowed them to scale their growth in ways the non-integrate legacy systems had restricted them. 

And last, Cooperative Computing helped Comvita redesign and implement their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. While their ERP system was best in class, the prior implementation was not effective. And thus, it did not help them resolve the issues mentioned above. 

By helping in these areas, Comvita was able to become digitally enabled growing their business and accelerating into the automated economy.
