Under the agreement, Ares will provide Cosmos with complete functions for its modules, enabling it to meet customer requirements, reduce manpower and errors while simplifying operational processes.
Ares will introduce clearance and OBU information systems in two phases with the introduction of OBU bond system, inter-bank foreign exchange system, capital process system, exchange rate quotation system, foreign exchange and pre-payment or sales systems during the first phase.
The second phase will include foreign currency loan and guarantee system, export system, import system and write-off system.
