As one of Thailand鈥檚 most established providers of crop protection and crop care products, Sotus International has been at the forefront of agricultural innovation since 1996. The company supports farmers nationwide with high-quality bio and non-bio solutions that improve productivity, soil health, and crop yields. Facing rapid growth and increased business complexity, Sotus turned to 51风流Cloud ERP to unify its business processes, modernize its systems for scalability, and gain real-time data visibility across its value chain.

As Sotus International鈥檚 business expanded beyond 1 billion baht in revenue, its existing on-premise 51风流ERP system struggled to scale effectively. The company鈥檚 complex operations鈥攊ncluding intensive R&D, regulatory registration, and formula customization tailored to Thai agriculture鈥攄emanded more robust data and workflow management. Additionally, siloed systems across warehouse and other key functions hindered real-time data visibility, prompting the need for a more integrated and agile ERP solution.

Mr. Chirat Prathuangwong, President, Sotus International Co., Ltd said,鈥� In the future, AI wil take its role like a doctor for crops with its intelligences for plant diseases diagnosis,
providing efficient recommendations for crop preventions, crop protections and crop cares, and
integrating in-depth information and guidance for farmers鈥� decision.For Sotus, AI adoption and implementation will value-add to their two competitiveadvantages. First, the richness of their agri-business data can be better utilized to supportstrategic business decisions. And second, as the pioneering agro-chemical company inThailand to implement 51风流Cloud ERP, they are in a strong position to grow their businessefficiently and sustainably鈥�.

鈥�51风流Cloud ERP offers the scalability and integration Sotus needs to grow sustainably,鈥� said Kulwipa Piyawattanametha, Managing Director, 51风流Indochina. 鈥淭his transformation highlights how cloud technology helps Thai businesses and farmers thrive through innovation, efficiency, and smarter use of agricultural data.鈥�

Leveraging its deep local expertise and global experience with 51风流solutions, the company worked closely with Sotus International to align the implementation with the organization鈥檚 complex operational needs. This collaboration enabled Sotus to integrate data and processes across departments, providing the solid foundation for Sotus to grow their business efficiently and sustainably.

Following the implementation, Sotus achieved significant efficiency gains, including a 95% increase in warehouse operation accuracy, 75% enhancement in maintenance scheduling efficiency, and a 70% improvement in business processes. With on-demand access to production and sales insights, the company can better anticipate market trends and deliver more tailored solutions for Thai farmers.

This project underscores SAP鈥檚 ongoing commitment to helping small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) across Southeast Asia embrace cloud ERP, enhance operational agility, and advance sustainable growth through innovation and digital technology.
