BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

To provide timely, accurate, high-value and actionable business insights to
South African Pork Producers and industry partners.

Sappo World of Pork Platform

SAPPO launched the World of Pork (WoP) platform at the annual general
meeting (AGM) on the 4 of September. The platform will serve all SAPPO
th
functions and will be upgraded over time to address industry needs. This
upgraded platform is built on a Microsoft foundation and we have partnered
with AccTech to implement the upgrade. The WoP platform will enable:
- producers to access and manage their own data and allow secondary
users such as Farm Managers access,
- the rapid deployment of new business intelligence outputs,
- integration with third-party systems,
- the creation of new mobile applications for members, veterinarians and
our business development managers,
- improve the registration process,
- track usage of the platform.

The team is currently in the process of finalizing the business intelligence
dashboards, assisting members to register on the platform, developing the
SAPPO mobile application’s veterinary module and creating the Meat Trade
Database.

Business Intelligence Dashboards

The team has been coordinating with AccTech to fast-track the development
of the remaining dashboards in the Business Intelligence section of the
platform. The main reason for the delay was the inclusion of an upgrade that
will allow SAPPO to better manage its databases in the future. All 33
dashboards covering topics such as raw material prices, international- and
domestics carcass prices, retail prices and imports and exports will be
available to members by the end of October.

Member Registration

Registrations are underway and the team will have visited and registered
leading producers by the end of October. During visits members provide
feedback to improve the registration process and improvements are
implemented shortly after. SAPPO will start marketing the platform in the
weekly newsletter in mid-October. Overall, producers find it easy to register,
add business- and farm data and to navigate the business intelligence pages.
