ODeX and Hapag-Lloyd Go Live in Uganda, Boosting Digital Trade Capabilities in East Africa

ODeX and Hapag-Lloyd go live in Uganda, bringing digital invoicing, payments, and eDOs to boost trade efficiency across East Africa’s shipping sector.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, June 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ODeX, the trusted digital platform for ocean shipping documentation and payments, has officially expanded its services to Uganda in partnership with global shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd. This milestone marks a key step in advancing ODeX’s global footprint and significantly advances the digital transformation of trade processes in East Africa.

Through its collaboration with Hapag-Lloyd, ODeX strengthens its presence in East Africa, delivering significant value to Ugandan importers, exporters, and logistics stakeholders, who will now benefit from streamlined, paperless shipping processes that are faster, more transparent, and highly efficient. ODeX’s comprehensive digital modules, including eInvoice, ePayments, and the eDO Module, enable secure and seamless digital transactions, from invoice management and real-time payments to the electronic issuance and tracking of Delivery Orders (DO).

The expanded services offer substantial benefits to Uganda’s trade community by automating data entry to minimize errors, accelerating processing times for invoices and delivery orders, and significantly reducing the need for physical visits to counters. Enhanced visibility and built-in notifications ensure customers have real-time access to the status of their invoices and DOs, greatly reducing the frequency of follow-up inquiries.
This strategic initiative supports Uganda’s ongoing efforts toward digital modernization, aligning closely with ODeX’s commitment to introducing global trade efficiencies to the African market.

"We are delighted to deepen our presence in Uganda with Hapag-Lloyd," said Liji Nowal, CEO of ODeX. "Together, we’re delivering smarter, faster, and more transparent shipping workflows to customers across East Africa. Ugandan businesses will now enjoy the same level of convenience and efficiency that ODeX provides to global trade hubs worldwide."
