Standard Chartered Bangladesh has established a host-to-host (H2H) integration solution for Suguna Food and Feeds Bangladesh Private Limited (Suguna). , one of the largest multinational feed companies operating in the poultry industry of Bangladesh.
Standard Chartered Bank was the first to introduce the concept of host-to-host integration in cash management for businesses in different sectors in Bangladesh, and now have also introduced this service for the poultry segment.
An event was held on the occasion at the premises of Suguna Food and Feeds Bangladesh Private Limited to inaugurate the H2H ERP connectivity.
Luthful Arefin Khan, Country Head of Transaction Banking, Standard Chartered Bangladesh; Soundararajan Bangarusamy, Chairman, Suguna Foods & Suguna Holdings; and others from both organisations were in attendance.
This connectivity will enable Suguna to process domestic payments from their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
Suguna will also have access to all required MIS reports in its ERP system. The reports will be sourced directly from Standard Chartered’s digital banking channel, Straight2Bank (S2B).
The H2H ERP connectivity will be routed through the Bank’s unique Universal Adaptor solution. The Universal Adaptor solution enables Suguna to define their own file templates or use pre-defined ones, and send transaction messages to the Bank through Straight2Bank Access and Straight2Bank Web channels.
Soundararajan Bangarusamy, Chairman, Suguna Foods & Suguna Holdings said, "this integration is a reflection of Standard Chartered Bank’s continued long-term commitment to support all our banking needs. The solution will improve our payment processing and reconciliation time. We are impressed with the Bank’s Plug-and-Play H2H integration solution through Universal Adaptor, which significantly reduced the implementation resource, time, and effort required to complete this integration – resulting in minimum disruptions to our day-to-day treasury management."
Luthful Arefin Khan, Country Head of Transaction Banking, Standard Chartered Bangladesh said "Our H2H solution with Universal Adaptor access is a unique offering for our clients as it provides significant operational and financial efficiencies to businesses through near real-time automation capabilities.”
