Trade Gateway and Distribution Hubs:
The TRADE GATEWAYS Network provides Vertical and Regional Trade Gateways that facilitate transactions that emanate from Marketplaces.Trade, by providing a Trade Digitization infrastructure Via Designated Warehouses and Logistics Centres.
An essential part of such infrastructure provision, is the Digitization of Warehouse Receipts.
Digitization of Warehouse Receipts
Digitization of warehouse receipts has revolutionized the landscape of warehouse receipts, making them more secure, efficient, and accessible.
Digital warehouse receipts eliminate the need for physical paperwork, reducing the risk of loss, damage, or forgery.
Authentication of Digitally Signed Warehouse Receipts and other Trade Documentation
Verification from authenticated IP addresses, has emerged as a robust solution for enhancing the security and transparency of digital warehouse receipts.
When these are done from Trade Gateways in the TRADE GATEWAYS Network, this helps ensure that, each transaction involving a warehouse receipt, is recorded in a tamper-proof ledger, ensuring that the ownership and condition of the stored goods are indisputable.
It is essential that the issuer of warehouse and other trade documentation, be verified as the entity that is storing the relevant goods and has custody of them.
The Role of Warehouse receipts
Warehouse receipts play a transformative role in trade and trade finance by providing a reliable mechanism for businesses to unlock the value of their stored goods.
These documents act as a bridge between physical goods and financial liquidity. They can also help companies to access working capital.
Warehouse receipts, issued by a verified and designated warehouse in the TRADE GATEWAYS Network, provide a standardized and universally verifiable proof of ownership, and help facilitate trade.
Facilitating Trade Financing
The ability to use warehouse receipts as collateral for loans is a game-changer for many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
SMEs often face challenges in securing traditional financing due to a lack of substantial fixed assets or credit history. By leveraging warehouse receipts, these businesses can demonstrate tangible assets to financial institutions, thereby improving their credit worthiness.
This not only facilitates easier access to loans but also allows for more favourable lending terms, such as lower interest rates and extended repayment periods.
