Retail
Selling merchandise made overseas always leaves you caught between a rock and a hard place
When costs rise due to volatile currency fluctuations, you’re inevitably faced with two bad choices: either renegotiate supplier terms or raise the retail price. And behind the scenes, your local bank isn’t making things easier – charging exorbitant transfer fees, converting FX at unfair rates, and delaying payments to suppliers.
Okoora’s Automated Business Currency Management (ABCM™) enables retailers to maintain a competitive edge in a dynamic global currency environment:

Real Estate
Currency fluctuations and inflated transfer and exchange fees prey upon those who purchase and manage properties overseas
To make matters worse, you need to ensure that you meet debt leverage limits and investor payment commitments. Either your local bank doesn’t provide the global reach you require, or you have too many dispersed bank accounts that are hard to handle.

Manufacturing
You compete against overseas players with lower production costs, suffer from complicated logistics, and can’t downstream expenses to clients
And that’s before you even feel the impact of foreign exchange volatility. Currency fluctuations keep your supply costs high, inventory value low, and revenues stagnant. And your bank only intensifies the problem, with its unreasonable fees and slow-moving procedures.

Transportation & Logistics
Moving people and goods is difficult enough, without factoring in the added burden of currency costs

Okoora’s Automated Business Currency Management (ABCM™) enables media companies to perform with global efficiencies:

E-COMMERCE
Processing millions of micro-transactions in multiple currencies can significantly erode your gross profit

Financial services
Your clients demand cutting-edge performance from the financial management services you provide
