German specialty glass manufacturer Schott and Thai packaging manufacturer A.P.A. Industries participated in the capacity of exporter and importer, respectively. The transaction involved supply of glass tubes from Schott to A.P.A. Industries. The order and delivery data were agreed between the companies via the Marco Polo network and payment was secured by a conditional payment commitment from Bangkok Bank, the buyers bank.
According to the official release, the entire flow of information was mapped via R3’s Corda DLT platform in an efficient and comprehensible manner. Through specially set up digital nodes, all the four involved parties were able to communicate and view trading data simultaneously.
