Mike Bhaskaran, Chief Operating Officer, Logistics and Technology, DP World, said: “Growing businesses can often lack the capital and resources required to drive global expansion, often exacerbated by prohibitive financial requirements and copious documentation.
"We designed CARGOES Finance to mitigate these constraints, unlocking new opportunities for SMEs to compete and reach a global market.”
Sinan Ozcan, Senior Executive Officer, DP World Finance Services, said: “As a result of CARGOES Finance, we’ve seen a number of companies successfully reach more international customers that were previously cost prohibitive to access before.
"Globally, small-to-medium-sized businesses handle 50 percent of trade, yet only a few have access to funding with little chance of it being approved. CARGOES Finance is levelling the playing field, providing an affordable and reliable alternative that’s expanding global trade.”
DP World will continue to invest in new technologies and solutions such as CARGOES Finance, to streamline and optimise 'glocal' operations for ambitious businesses looking to operate seamlessly and scale faster.
CARGOES Finance is now widely available to shippers and small-to-medium businesses wishing to reach a wider international marketplace and is the latest addition to the CARGOES suite of tools to streamline end-to-end logistics and trade worldwide.
