KAMPALA, (CAJ News) – ODEX, the digital platform for ocean shipping documentation and payments has extended its footprint in East Africa with the expansion to Uganda.
The move is through a partnership with global shipping company, Hapag-Lloyd.
ODeX pledges to deliver significant value to Ugandan importers, exporters and logistics stakeholders.
It said these players would benefit from streamlined, paperless shipping processes that are faster, more transparent and highly efficient.
Offerings include digital modules, including eInvoice, ePayments, and the eDO Module, for digital transactions, from invoice management and real-time payments to the electronic issuance and tracking of delivery orders.
The expanded services are seen as offering benefits to Uganda’s trade community by automating data entry to minimise errors, accelerating processing times for invoices and delivery orders, and significantly reducing the need for physical visits to counters.
“We are delighted to deepen our presence in Uganda with Hapag-Lloyd,” said Liji Nowal, Chief Executive Officer of ODeX.
“Together, we’re delivering smarter, faster, and more transparent shipping workflows to customers across East Africa.”
Nowal assures that Ugandan businesses would now enjoy the same level of convenience and efficiency that ODeX provided to global trade hubs worldwide.
ODeX is dually-headquartered in India and Singapore as well as Hapag-Lloyd in Germany.
