The Company

• Company website: http://www.cbh.com.au/• Co-operative bulk handling ltd. (CBH) based in Perth,
Western Australia, stores, transports and markets more than 10 million tonnes of grain annually, some 40 percent of Australia’s total production.

The Problem/Situation
• Strategic diversification through corporate acquisitions, development of enhanced services for growers and closer integration with world markets lead to considerable increases in workload for the IT infrastructure.
• In parallel with these changes, senior management took the opportunity to review business processes, looking in particular for efficiencies and cost savings.

• With almost 200 grain receive points, twelve administration offices, four ports and 19 million tonnes of total storage capacity, managing the logistics alone is a complex business.
• The company turned to automation whenever possible to increase efficiency and productivity, to help control staff costs and enhance its ability to respond quickly to customers’ needs.

The Solution and Implementation
• From 1998, CBH adopted SAP R/3 applications for up to 900 users to run the business, combined with specific grain-handling and administrative systems at multiple sites.
• Since practically all operations touched SAP applications at some point, the company settled on SAP software as one of the strategic foundations for CBH.

• Since R/3 was running on AS/400, the initial challenge was to migrate to the Windows environment.
