Many small and medium businesses make up the third place, such as cafes, bookstores, and local retail shops. For these businesses, as well as for up-and-coming startups, finding the right talent for the job is tough.

For SMEs in the logistics sector, competition with big players who have a lot more financial and human resources creates the need for achieving operational efficiency.

BanhJi facilitates Financial Inclusion for SMEs

In many countries, SMEs play a vital role in powering the local economy. However, restrictions on loans and limited capital investment hinders their growth, operations, and management. As a result, SMEs lose access to technical support and face business stagnation. To improve financial resource management, FinTech startups tailor their solutions to match the needs of micro, small, and medium enterprises.

FastTrackTrade builds a Blockchain Platform for SMEs

Left with limited choices, SMEs heavily rely on intermediaries to both procure and sell their products or services. This leaves them with low margins and prevents them from directly reaching out to the consumers they want to attract. Moreover, cross-border business becomes significantly more challenging for SMEs since proprietors have to personally research and make decisions. That is why startups build end-to-end traceability platforms that reduce SMEs’ reliance on middlemen, improve supply chain visibility, and increase profits.

FastTrackTrade is a Singapore-based startup using blockchain technology to build and provide a digital trade network for SMEs.
