UOB to offer cloud-based solutions for SMEs

UOB BizSmart can help businesses automate administrative processes.

UOB has partnered with labour movement initiative NTUC U SME to offer digital solutions that can significantly boost the productivity of SMEs.

The collaboration will offer UOB BizSmart, a cloud-based integrated business solution, to the 16,000 partner enterprises of the U SME network. The digital solution can help automate administrative processes like payroll, invoicing and inventory management.

“At UOB, we have been helping SMEs to seize opportunities, to overcome business challenges and to benefit from the use of digital solutions,” said Mervyn Koh, UOB Managing Director and Country Head of Business Banking, Singapore. “We understand that SMEs are looking to manage their costs by harnessing digital technology for productivity growth, over methods such as sourcing for cheaper suppliers or reducing overheads.”

Through UOB BizSmart, SMEs will be able to access SAP Business One, an integrated enterprise resource planning software suite which can help reduce the SME productivity gap against larger companies.

SMEs can select from three options within the UOB BizSmart bundle, depending on the functionalities and the number of users they require, with the most basic option being complimentary.

The bank will also work in close coordination with NTUC to organise monthly workshops with business process consultants to orient and provide practical guidance to SMEs on the features of UOB BizSmart.

“We hope that by partnering UOB and leveraging platforms like UOB BizSmart, we will be able to better provide our SME partners with the necessary tools to digitalise their business operations with ease,” said NTUC U SME Assistant Director-General Yeo Guat Kwang.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
