Supply chain business
Add value to your transactions with large buyers/suppliers and their trading counterparties with our specialised trade solutions for large supply chains. As an emerging markets-led and financing-focused bank with specialist trade expertise and strong global footprint, we can customise a solution to meet your specific requirements to help your business grow.
Our solutions include:
Paperless trade
HSBC is at the forefront of paperless trade technology. As testament to this commitment, we run a full paperless, open account platform with a large buyer and its Asian-based suppliers. This platform is based on an open communications infrastructure to promote connectivity among the buyer, suppliers, HSBC and other supply chain parties such as freight forwarders, customs bodies etc.
Document imaging
Take advantage of this easy-to-implement solution that involves the presentation of paper documents by suppliers to HSBC. These documents are then scanned into an image repository for viewing and acceptance by the buyer. If you are a supplier, you will have online access to purchase order (PO) details, transaction status and finance products, whereas if you are a buyer, we can provide back-office integration and PO reporting for you.
Automated DC issuance
This is a stable supply product for HSBC via value-added network (VAN), encrypted e-mail or file transfer protocol (FTP). When we receive your POs, we automatically pool these into documentary credit (DC) templates for automated issuance. To achieve this, we work closely with you to develop a PO database specifically designed around your requirements and processes.
Finance
HSBC recognises that trade finance is an important part of any supply chain. Thus, we provide a range of pre- and post-shipment finance products covering all of our platforms and both DC- and open account-based trade to assist your business.
Integration and reporting
Tap our expertise on customised back-office integration, and we will ensure seamless two-way flow of trade information between HSBC and your back office. PO reporting is also available and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Document insourcing
Benefit from significant cost savings and increased resource flexibility by letting HSBC prepare and dispatch export documents on your behalf using a mix of technology and expertise.
