EAGLES HAVE LANDED

HelloSME was given the Global Ready Talent (GRT) grant from ESG and SMF. The aim is to build a pipeline of global-ready talent for Singapore Enterprises through innovative and transformative internships.

Over 60 applications from SMU & NUS were received. Out of the 40 interviewees, 3 Interns - Banerjee & Lum (SMU) and Lee (NUS) were selected under GRT.

For 10 weeks, the 1st and 2nd year students had to jump-start their knowledge and learning in Marketing, Business Development and Operations to work closely with the Core Team - Wong (CEO), LEONG (Administration Manager), Chang (Chief Product Marketing Officer), Sheth Seth (Chief Blockchain Officer) and the Technology team to execute the Medical PPE business model. The hard work & “Can-Do” attitude culminated into an opportunity to present the PPE business development model to various stakeholders and investors during the recent soft-launch.

Adapting PPE on Blockchain

With the ongoing global pandemic, those who survived have one thing in common - adaptability with a "Can-Do" spirit!

HelloMedicalPPE, powered by HelloSME, addresses the shortage of quality PPE faced by many organisations on a global basis. Through extensive buyer/seller research, the procurement pains of buying PPEs are:
(1) Fake/Substandard PPEs
(2) Shady suppliers
(3) Non-standard payment terms and poor delivery promptness.

To resolve these pain points, a three-pronged approach was taken:
1. US FDA, European CE and Country Certifications are logged on Blockchain with suppliers' consent to factory audits/inspections.
2. Real Digital Smart Contracts that track delivery and payment promptness on Blockchain which rates our buyers and sellers.
3. Know-Your-Customer checks - our basic KYC weeds out shady suppliers from quality ones.

HelloMedicalPPE has gone live (www.hellomedicalppe.com) where trusted buyers and sellers can transact with ease and confidence.
