  • Released blockchain-enabled Proxima+ Core—a web-based end-to-end Sales Finance and Supply Chain Finance platform to help factoring companies manage accounts receivable financing faster and with greater trust, aligned with global legislation and local business requirements
  • Extended Proxima+ platform for sellers and buyers of factoring services to enable them to share transaction records to Proxima+ Core via integration with Oracle Blockchain Platform, and maintain a blockchain-based audit trail as they confirm or dispute
