Case Study: GROWMARK improves commodity risk management and logistics with SAP Commodity Management

How Can Updating Commodities Management Systems Help Grow an Intelligent Enterprise

GROWMARK, an agricultural cooperative serving more than 200 member cooperatives, needed a tightly integrated commodities management system to handle its large scale fuel, lubricant, nutrient, and logistics operations. The company wanted better control over commodity risk, pricing, and freight execution, and turned to SAP Commodity Management and SAP Transportation Management to support its agribusiness growth.

With SAP, GROWMARK implemented system-based contract capture, advanced pricing conventions, automated risk management, and near-real-time market and position reporting, while also improving freight scheduling and inventory visibility. The result was stronger commodity risk management, reduced credit exposure, improved customer interaction, and the ability to offer new pricing options and support geographic expansion.
