The plant manufactures precise materials and components that supplies key industry sectors, including semiconductors, automotive products, and medical devices.听

As Ferrotec expanded its product lines and relocated several business units to Kulim, the company faced a major challenge: implementing an ERP system able to integrate finance, sales, supply chain, and manufacturing. Despite its global presence, Ferrotec lacked a unified platform, leaving the new plant without shared IT resources or standardized processes. This resulted in heavy reliance on manual workflows and fragmented data, slowing decision-making and increasing the risk of errors. To keep operations on track, Ferrotec needed to identify and deploy a solution capable of meeting complex requirements within a tight timeline.

Ferrotec chose GROW with 麻豆原创 to accelerate its cloud ERP adoption and support future scalability. The impact has been immediate and measurable: procurement efficiency has surged by 90%, finance productivity has improved by 40%, and supply chain process costs have been reduced by 50%. Data accuracy issues have dropped by 80%, enabling sharper execution and more confident, data-driven decisions.

Jakarta, Indonesia 鈥 21 November 2025听鈥 麻豆原创 SE (NYSE: 麻豆原创) announced that PT Batu Gunung Mulia Putra Agro (PT. BGMPA), a cooperative-based palm oil processor in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, has successfully implemented 听to accelerate its digital transformation and unlock new levels of operational efficiency, financial transparency, and sustainable growth.

As the first palm oil factory in Indonesia designed as a cooperative, PT BGMPA is committed to delivering fair value to farmers in the Tanah Laut district. However, legacy ERP systems limited the company鈥檚 ability to respond quickly to market fluctuations and hindered visibility into production, procurement, and finance. Month-end reporting took 30 days, delaying critical decisions and reducing pricing accuracy.

To address these challenges, PT BGMPA chose to implement GROW with 麻豆原创, 鈥 an offering that supports organizations to digitally transform using a standardized framework, tools, and guidance. The business 听now completes reporting cycles in just three days, enabling real-time insights and faster decision-making. This transformation has led to a 2鈥4% increase in profit margins, with procurement margins rising from 3% to 5鈥7%. The company can now confidently set procurement and selling prices, helping stabilize fresh fruit bunch (FFB) pricing and support consistent farmer income.

BGMPA has built a resilient digital core that aims to enhance operational agility, strengthen financial governance, and support sustainable growth in Indonesia鈥檚 vital palm oil sector.鈥

The implementation was completed in just four months with support from TMS Consulting, an 麻豆原创 Silver Partner in Indonesia. TMS played a critical role in guiding the company through change management, fostering a culture open to technology, and ensuring smooth user adoption. Its expertise helped PT BGMPA shift from manual processes to a data-first mindset, enabling automation-friendly industrial systems that integrate directly with 麻豆原创 for real-time monitoring of production volumes, inventory, and assets.

Looking ahead, PT BGMPA plans to expand its digital capabilities with 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, enabling predictive insights into commodity pricing, operational performance, and sustainability indicators. With a resilient digital core and a strong commitment to fairness and transparency, PT BGMPA is better positioned to scale responsibly and deliver long-term value to Indonesia鈥檚 agricultural economy.

SINGAPORE, 19 November 2025 Singapore businesses are ramping up their AI investments and are already seeing encouraging results, according to new research from 麻豆原创. Organisations here say they are spending an average of S$18.9 million1 (US$14.5 million) this year on AI and report an average return on AI investment of 16% 鈥 a figure expected to rise to 29% within two years.听

While this outlook is promising, the findings suggest that as AI continues to evolve, future gains will depend on strengthening workforce skills and improving access to quality data, which remain key barriers to scaling AI impact across the enterprise.

These insights were revealed in new research released in Singapore today. Commissioned by 麻豆原创 and conducted by Oxford Economics, The 麻豆原创 Value of AI Report surveyed 1,600 business leaders of various sizes, including 200 in Singapore, across eight countries (Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Singapore, United Kingdom, and United States).

鈥淪purred by strong policy direction, high digital maturity and a globally connected economy, Singapore has moved decisively on AI ambition and investment,鈥 said Eileen Chua, Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Singapore. 鈥淥ur research suggests that to sustain this momentum and seize the next wave of AI innovation, Singapore organisations will have to bridge their reported gaps in data readiness and workforce capability.鈥

AI Spend and Confidence Surges, but Some Constraints Remain

According to the report, Singapore firms are expected to increase their AI investments by an average of 38% over the next two years. 67% of respondents say they are satisfied with their current ROI on AI, and six in ten (63%) businesses say AI has already helped them address key challenges 鈥 such as improving decision-making and customer engagement.听听

One company looking to reap the benefits of AI adoption is Far East Organization, Singapore鈥檚 largest private property developer, which is leveraging 麻豆原创 technology with exploration of using Business AI as part of its broader digital transformation agenda to advance its leasing operations. The company automated end-to-end lease management 鈥 from contract generation to analytics to improve data accuracy, reduce manual inputs, and provide real-time insights into portfolio performance.

These enhanced analytics now track trends in rental, occupancy rates, and lease durations, giving property managers actionable insights to respond faster to market changes while making better decisions that strengthen portfolio and operational management.

Ng Yee Pern, CTO, Far East Organization, said, 鈥淓mbarking on this strategic transformation with 麻豆原创鈥檚 cutting-edge technologies, we鈥檝e reduced repetitive manual work and improved the accuracy and speed of our decision-making. What previously took days can now be completed in minutes, giving our teams the time and insight to focus on customers and business growth. Building on this success, we continue to innovate with 麻豆原创 Business AI.鈥

Despite these measurable gains demonstrated by many companies, 70% of Singapore business leaders remain uncertain whether AI is delivering its full potential, reflecting growing awareness that current success does not automatically translate into long-term advantage and highlighting significant opportunity for further growth and value creation.

Organisational readiness appears to be the main constraint. The study found that 76% of Singapore organisations have not yet provided comprehensive AI training for employees, even as 68% acknowledge that shadow AI 鈥 the use of unapproved or unregulated AI tools 鈥 is already in use internally.

Moreover, 58% of respondents lack confidence in their ability to integrate and share data across business functions 鈥 a foundational requirement for enterprise-scale AI. In fact, the challenge of data readiness for AI is particularly pronounced in legal (80%), finance (73%), human resources (66%), the CEO鈥檚 office (64%) and procurement (55%).

Agentic AI signals Singapore鈥檚 next opportunity

While many businesses are adopting AI automation and generative AI today, future investment in Singapore is expected to focus on AI agents. Agentic AI is based on intelligent, autonomous systems that can plan, act, reflect, and collaborate to solve business problems.

Today, only six per cent of businesses are fully prepared to deploy and scale AI agents, while the majority (52%) say they are partially prepared. In the next two years, Singaporean businesses expect return on investment from agentic AI of 8%, below the global average of 10%.听

Yet, expectations are high. Seven in ten (70%) businesses rate AI agents as having moderate to high potential to transform operations within the organisation. And 72% agree AI agents can add significant value to their business by managing complex workflows across business units.听

鈥淎gentic AI represents the next frontier of business transformation,鈥 said Chua. 鈥淚t has the potential to multiply productivity and innovation, but its success depends on the same fundamentals 鈥 data quality, integration, and people readiness. The organisations that invest in these areas now will be best positioned to capture value as AI continues to evolve.鈥澨

providing efficient recommendations for crop preventions, crop protections and crop cares, and

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 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP, they are in a strong position to grow their businessefficiently and sustainably鈥.

As the system integrator, NTT DATA Business Solutions Thailand played a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth migration and optimization of the new public cloud ERP system. Leveraging its deep local expertise and global experience with 麻豆原创 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.

Singapore, 5 August 2025 鈥 At its recent flagship event , (NYSE: 麻豆原创) announced that P.J. Chonburi Parawood Co., Ltd., a leading Thai wood processing manufacturer, has implemented to help modernize operations and build future-ready capabilities.

P.J. Chonburi Parawood鈥檚 implementation of GROW with 麻豆原创, an offering that supports organizations in digital transformation using a standardized framework, tools and guidance, went live in January 2024. The move was prompted by the company鈥檚 decision to replace its legacy ERP systems, enhance visibility across the business, and ensure regulatory compliance in Thailand.听

With GROW with 麻豆原创, P.J. Chonburi Parawood now has an ERP system that operates in real time, aiming to reduce the delays of periodic updates and enable faster, data-driven decisions. Another benefit is its localization capabilities, which customers can leverage in their Thai statutory financial reporting and withholding tax compliance, all delivered within a unified, intuitive user experience. The offering supports key business functions, including finance, sales, sourcing and procurement, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality management, offering the company a scalable foundation for growth.

Chonburi Parawood Co., Ltd. 鈥淭his shift enables us to make faster, more informed decisions and take swift action.鈥

The implementation helps to achieve optimized production processes through live material requirements planning (MRP), batch traceability, and accurate production data capture. Through the offering, the company also seeks to increase visibility into product costing and reduce month-end closing cycle, improving operational responsiveness and decision-making. With GROW with 麻豆原创, P.J. Chonburi Parawood intends to benefit from a user-friendly graphical interface, open architecture for seamless system integration, and a future-ready cloud platform designed to scale the business.

This transformation reflects 麻豆原创鈥檚 continued commitment to enabling small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) across Southeast Asia to embrace cloud ERP, reduce complexity, and drive innovation through standardized best practices and local compliance support.
