HelloSME’s mission is to help SMEs Go Digital, Go Regional by aggregating their digital needs. We aim to deliver Fast Trade and Procurement (FTP) Eco-system built on Blockchain technology in order to enhance procurement efficiency, scalability, security and trackability for businesses. Through the members-only platform, our strategic partners and customers can perform in-country and cross-border transactions with ease and confidence.
FTP is SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) on Blockchain built to enhance closed-loop procurement transactions between buyers and sellers in a seamless way, providing the benefits of RDS contract, payment gateway, end-to-end digital integration and KYC to all aspects of businesses.
Based on industry insights, time spent by buyers/sellers on PR > RFQ > PO > DO > Invoice > Payment and other processes like misplacement of documents is significant. The potential savings (processing time) of FTP per year is estimated at about US$500M which can significantly help the industry which has razor thin margins.
The industry is paper-intensive, especially for SMEs which either lack an ERP system or IT skills to integrate their systems thereby relying largely on paper documents. Finding lost documents like delivery notes with numerous partial deliveries impacts productivity and cash flow management.
RDS is a Real Digital Smart Contract which has sophisticated algorithms to track any changes and/or modifying of the contract. Storing any transactional changes on Blockchain makes it secure, reliable and trackable than conventional contracts.

FTP Payment Gateway aims to connect to all payment gateways by offering choices to our buyer/seller in settling payment through PayPal, Stripe, bank transfer. An added feature is digital Escrow that is robust enough to scale from 1,000 to 2M transactions a day.
FTP Eco-system’s vision is to provide connectivity of the different buyer/seller ERP systems to ensure seamless transactional flow to cut down manual inputs and paper-based transactions. For those SMEs that do not have ERP, a basic, stripped down ERP is embedded in the FTP application.
From PR -> RFQ -> PO -> SO -> DO -> Invoice -> Payment, FTP automates and captures the entire process in its entirety. Once payment is acknowledged, the RDS contract between the buyer and seller is then considered closed giving a 360-degree view of the entire transactional flow.
Based on Hyperledger Fabric Technology that supports permissioned blockchain network, smart contract, data privacy and unique transactional model.
FTP provides basic KYC with KYC partners and 2-factor authentication to verify members’ identity to ensure transactions are legit and above board especially cross-border transactions – one of the key ask of SMEs.
