Case Study: BKB Shift achieves digital transformation, supply chain optimization and blockchain-enabled traceability with SYSPRO ERP Software

BKB Transforms Supply Chain and Makes the Digital Leap with SYSPRO ERP

BKB Shift, a long‑established player in South Africa’s agricultural sector serving 67,000 clients and over 3,500 employees, needed to digitally transform a trust‑based, complex supply chain while supporting 35,000 emerging farmers and cross‑border markets. To meet this challenge, BKB Shift partnered with SYSPRO ERP Software and deployed SYSPRO’s ERP (including cloud, IoT and Point‑of‑Sale capabilities) as the architectural foundation for its digital leap.

SYSPRO ERP Software integrated BKB Shift’s systems with IoT, RFID tagging and blockchain via APIs to enable end‑to‑end traceability, mobile payments, a raisin‑farmer app and online auctioning, centralizing operations in the cloud and delivering real‑time, aggregated business insights. The solution unlocked new revenue and touchpoints, simplified the supply chain and produced measurable impacts — including a ten‑fold increase in WAN data flow and 67,000 customers (plus 35,000 emerging farmers across 1,100 shearing sheds) interacting with the system — improving payment visibility and operational efficiency.
