It implies the fact that the procurement and trade finance processes for Kimly Construction’s latest green project, and the construction of the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus at Punggol North (Plot 2)2, will be shifted online.

Through Doxa Connex, Kimly Construction and its suppliers will be able to tackle their business procedures with more noteworthy productivity. Using the available current digital data on Doxa Connex, UOB can efficiently provide Kimly Construction with Green and sustainable trade financing without additional paper-based documents. This is essential for UOB's work to fill the digital gap, to further empower our customers to associate with their suppliers digitally, and to create resiliency for their organization”. 

The association with Doxa and Kimly Construction is the first of these Green trade and feasible transactions utilizing the digital platform, Doxa Connex. This will help smooth procurement and trade finance processes, to create effectively and apply feasibility in the ecosystem for the long run.
