The Challenge

Growing rice export operations needed more structured coordination. As operations expanded, export information was spread across different systems and teams. For a rice exporter handling multiple products, packing formats and dispatch activities, small coordination gaps can quickly become larger operational problems.

A packing update may affect dispatch planning. A quantity change may affect shipment documentation. A delayed readiness update may impact container planning. Without one connected operating environment, these activities become increasingly dependent on manual follow-ups.

No Single Source of Truth: Operational information was scattered across systems, so different teams could be working with different versions of shipment or order information.

Heavy Manual Coordination: Export execution relied heavily on calls, messages and follow-ups, which became difficult to manage consistently as volume increased.

SKU and Packaging Complexity: Different rice varieties and packaging formats increased the number of variables that teams needed to coordinate.

Workflow Inconsistency: Without a defined operating workflow, execution could vary between orders and teams.

Limited Management Visibility: Management lacked one clear operational view of pending activities and workflow progress.

Scaling Challenges: Increasing export volume made manual coordination progressively harder to sustain.

Executive Summary

Customer: Anvi Little India Pvt. Ltd.

Industry: Rice & Agri-Food Exports

Location: Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India

Export Environment: Multiple rice varieties, packaging formats, SKUs and export dispatch requirements

Core Challenge: Fragmented export information and heavy manual coordination

Solution: Shipzy integrated with SAP Business One

Outcome: More structured execution, better visibility, stronger operational control and reduced dependence on manual updates


Managing Rice Export Complexity at Scale

Rice export operations involve more than simply preparing an invoice and booking a shipment. Teams may need to coordinate:

  • different rice varieties
  • multiple SKUs and brand
  • bag sizes and packaging formats
  • private-label requirements
  • buyer-specific packing
  • production and stock readiness
  • dispatch quantities
  • container planning
  • shipment documents
  • buyer communication

Anvi Little India's business includes rice and agri-food products across multiple brands and packaging sizes, making structured execution increasingly important as volume grows.


Why Manual Rice Export Coordination Becomes Difficult

A typical rice export order can involve several connected decisions:

Buyer Order
→ Rice Variety
→ Quantity
→ Packaging Size
→ Production / Stock Readiness
→ Container Planning
→ Documentation
→ Dispatch

If any one element changes, multiple downstream activities may also need to change.

For example:

25 kg bags → 50 kg bags

may affect:

  • bag count
  • packing list
  • container utilization
  • shipment instructions
  • dispatch planning

A disconnected process makes these changes harder to control.

The Solution: Connecting Rice Export Execution with SAP Business One

Anvi Little India implemented Shipzy to create a more centralised export execution environment around its existing ERP setup. Shipzy helped structure operational workflows, while SAP Business One integration supported aligned data flow between export execution and ERP records. This created a clearer operating model for managing export activities across teams.

What Changed with Shipzy

Centralised Export Execution: Export activities were brought into a more structured operational environment, so teams could work from a more consistent view of order and shipment activity.

Better SKU and Packing Coordination: For a rice exporter managing different varieties and packing formats, structured workflows help reduce dependence on scattered updates.

System-Driven Workflows: Manual follow-ups were replaced with defined workflows that helped guide execution.

Standardized Process Control: Processes became more repeatable across export orders.

SAP Business One Integration: Shipzy connected with SAP Business One to support more reliable information flow between ERP records and export execution.

Improved Management Visibility: Teams and management gained clearer visibility into operational progress and pending actions.

Before Shipzy vs With Shipzy + SAP B1

Shipzy + SAP Business One

Specialized Export Execution Around an Existing ERP

SAP Business One: Supports the broader ERP environment and enterprise records.

Shipzy: Supports export-specific execution across order workflows, documentation, shipment coordination and operational visibility.

Integration: Connects export execution with ERP information so both systems can work in a more aligned way.

This allowed Anvi Little India to improve export execution without treating the export function as a separate, disconnected operation.

Implementation Journey

April 2024 - System Setup: Shipzy was configured around Anvi Little India's export requirements.

Month 1-2 - Workflow Structuring: Export workflows were defined across teams.

Month 2-3 - SAP Business One Integration: Shipzy was connected with SAP Business One.

Month 3-4 - Testing & Validation: Workflows and integration were tested for operational accuracy.

September 2024 - Go-Live: The system was deployed for live operations.

Post Go-Live - Ongoing Support: The workflows continued to be refined after rollout.

The Outcome

A stronger operating foundation for rice export growth. The implementation helped Anvi Little India move from coordination-heavy execution to a more structured operating model.

Stronger Single Source of Truth: Export information became more centralised.

Reduced Manual Dependency: Teams became less reliant on repeated status follow-ups.

Better Workflow Visibility: Operational progress became easier to track.

Stronger Process Control: Defined workflows brought more discipline to execution.

Better Support for Growing Export Complexity: The combined Shipzy + SAP B1 environment created a stronger foundation for handling increasing export operations.

From Rice Order to Export Execution

For rice exporters, operational control becomes increasingly important as product variety, packaging and shipment volumes grow.

A connected workflow can bring together:

Buyer Order
→ Rice Variety / SKU
→ Packing Requirement
→ Stock / Production Readiness
→ Dispatch Planning
→ Export Documentation
→ Shipment Execution

This helps reduce the risk of different teams working with disconnected order, packing and shipment information.

What This Case Study Shows

Anvi Little India's implementation shows how a growing rice and agri-food exporter can connect specialised export execution with an existing ERP.

By integrating Shipzy with SAP Business One, the company created more structured workflows, centralised operational visibility and stronger process control across export execution.

The result was a more process-driven environment designed to support increasing SKU, packaging and shipment complexity with less dependence on manual coordination.

Relevant for Rice & Agri Exporters

This operating model is particularly relevant for businesses handling basmati rice, non-basmati rice, private-label rice exports, multiple packaging sizes, multiple buyer specifications, bulk and retail export packs, multiple export destinations, agri-food SKUs, complex dispatch planning and ERP-based accounting or inventory environments.

Anvi Little India's own product portfolio spans rice, grains, pulses, spices and other agri-food categories across domestic and international markets.
