Tata Power on Monday said it has partnered with Contour, a leading digital trade finance network based out of Singapore, to make its financial management process more robust, transparent and efficient.<\/p>\n
Contour’s network uses decentralised technology (blockchain) to bring together companies, banks and ecosystem partners, onto a trusted network, to help create a streamlined digital trade finance workflow, a statement said.<\/p>\n
The integration enables trusted data flow across the world’s trade routes and current fragmented ecosystems it explained.<\/p>\n
Manual and paper-based processes in finance slow trade growth by creating additional complexity and costs.<\/p>\n
“Tata Power’s collaboration with Contour will pave the way for a seamless trade finance process one that can be made significantly efficient with the robust blockchain-based solution,” Sanjeev Churiwala, Chief Finance Officer, Tata Power said in the statement.<\/p>\n
By joining Contour’s network, Tata Power is implementing an end-to-end digital Letter of Credit (LC) settlement process.<\/p>\n
The company will gain from using a digital LC, since it will enable it to present documents in less than 24 hours, as opposed to the usual 510 days of a traditional process.<\/p>\n
“By joining our network of 130+ corporates, Tata Power will be able to unlock more value and drive greater efficiency in trade through our digital solution,” Carl Wegner, CEO at Contour said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
