What does a small, polymer manufacturer in India have in common with the world’s largest multinationals? Or, a ten-man courier business in China with the major governments in the EU? Not a lot you might think, but each of these can easily and effectively drive efficiencies and cost savings through the services provided by the Uglii system.
Developed by Australian company Uglii Corporation, and with just 45 staff and 3,600 shareholders, the company has developed and refined its patented spatial business search and marketplace processes.
“The Uglii system is initially set to revolutionise the way companies and organisations in India and China source products and services,” says Uglii CEO John Knorr. “It also assists in protecting trademarks, enhancing procurement systems, and reducing corruption across procurement processes for businesses and government. Further, with small businesses struggling to gain traction on search engines, the Uglii system doesn’t discriminate against companies unable or unwilling to pay for keywords.”
The Uglii system has written descriptions for 800,000 products and services offered across the world economy. Making the Uglii system truly global, each of these is being translated into the world’s main languages, starting with simplified Chinese. This will assist with trade between India and China, easing language barriers. Once registered on the Uglii system, businesses and government departments nominate their products and services from this list, enabling the smallest firm to be discovered for its offerings.
Knorr says, “The most exciting feature of the system is a business being able to nominate a geographic catchment into which it wants to supply its products or services, whether domestically or internationally, dramatically reducing its marketing costs. In addition to this, I believe each and every business, regardless of size or revenue, has the right to be discovered.”
Being a small company, Uglii needs partners to roll out the Uglii system. Uglii’s preferred partners across all economies are postal services, banks, telcos, logistics systems and industry organisations. The Indian economy is of particular interest to Uglii. The sheer size of the Indian economy, its cultural diversity, and its proximity to China makes it the perfect launch pad for the Uglii system. “In my opinion,” Knorr continues, “The Chinese government understands the Uglii system better than any other government and has clear ideas about how it will use the Uglii system in its economy. I am confident the new Modi government in India is rapidly catching up as several major Indian institutions are joining the Uglii system as partners to roll it out across India. This implementation requires strong business and political leadership in both countries.”
