• As cross border trading continues to grow, it’s imperative that we adopt processes to allow trading partners to increase their volume of business without adding resources in operational areas.

• In particular, we believe managing paper-based trading process (such as L/C) no longer best supports the evolving international supply chain strategy.

• If an open and flexible platform is used, it will benefit all parties involved in trade business on increased visibility into transactions, decisions and documents associated with the procure-to-pay lifecycle.

• Automating the financial supply chain and linking it to the physical supply chain will definitely lower transaction costs and optimize productivity.
