Farmlogics x Eliho Ghana – Driving efficiency and traceability across global cocoa supply chains
For over 150 years, Eliho Ghana has built a reputation as a leading agro-industrial actor, delivering responsibly sourced cocoa, coee, vanilla, and natural ingredients to customers worldwide. But with operations spread across multiple continents and thousands of farmers and buying agents in its network, managing data, operations, and traceability had become a growing challenge.
Farmlogics partnered with Eliho Ghana to create a digital value chain solution that brought transparency, eciency, and scalability to every part of their sourcing and supply chain.
About Eliho Ghana Group
Eliho Ghana is a global leader in cocoa and other natural commodities, with subsidiaries in origin regions and agents in key international markets. Its strength lies not only in its global reach but in the expertise of its people, the diversity of its teams, and a deep understanding of the countries in which it operates.
Sustainability is central to Eliho Ghana’s strategy. The company is committed to building inclusive programs that benefit stakeholders across the value chain while ensuring its cocoa supply is 100% responsibly sourced.
The Challenge
Eliho Ghana’s sourcing network spans West and Central Africa, Latin America, and East Asia. Coordinating operations across this vast footprint meant handling thousands of farmers, buying agents, warehouses, and port operations simultaneously.
The company’s existing systems were falling short in several critical areas:
- Field data was not reaching port warehouses quickly enough, creating delays and extra manual work in compiling reports.
- Key performance indicators such as stock levels, stock in transit, and field funding were not tracked in real-time, making decision-making slow and reactive.
- The existing software could not support input sales, lacked scalability, and struggled to keep up with the company’s rapid growth.
- Traceability capabilities were limited, making it dicult to achieve the company’s vision of fully responsible cocoa sourcing.
Eliho Ghana needed a robust, scalable solution to integrate its operations, deliver real-time insights, and ensure traceability across the supply chain.
The Farmlogics Approach
Farmlogics conducted a thorough review of Eliho Ghana’s value chain—immersing with teams, mapping workflows, and identifying gaps. The result was the Farmlogics Value Chain Solution, a web and mobile platform designed specifically to support Eliho Ghana’s complex operations.
The solution oered a fully integrated data model capable of handling field-to-port operations. The mobile app allowed field agents to capture data directly on-site, while the web platform provided intuitive dashboards and reporting tools for management. Multi language and multi-currency support ensured it could adapt to Eliho Ghana’s global footprint.
Crucially, the platform also embedded traceability features from the earliest stages of sourcing, helping Eliho Ghana track cocoa from farm to warehouse, in line with its commitment to sustainability.
The Impact
With the Farmlogics Value Chain Solution, Eliho Ghana gained new levels of visibility and control across its operations:
- Stock positions, fund balances, and movement data from more than 100 warehouses are now reported to headquarters within the same day or the next.
- Real-time dashboards allow top management to track KPIs and business drivers such as cycle time analysis and accounts receivable performance, enabling faster, data-driven decisions.
- Field operations, stock movements, port and warehouse activities, and finance functions are seamlessly integrated, ensuring that all stakeholders work from the same, accurate information.
- Comprehensive cocoa traceability now supports Eliho Ghana’s mission to be a fully responsible sourcing company.
- Automated exception reporting flags deviations from business rules, allowing quick corrective action.
