Kuailu Cloud Launches Four Core Applications to Strengthen Enterprise Digital Infrastructure

-

SINGAPORE, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the global wave of digitalization, enterprise digital transformation has shifted from an “optional choice” to a “mandatory task” essential for growth and competitiveness. Addressing challenges of cost, efficiency, and solution fit, Kuailu Cloud has launched its Four Core Applications—Human Resources, Procurement, Administration, and Finance. Powered by AI and low-code technology, these applications establish intelligent digital infrastructure that reduces costs, improves efficiency, and drives sustainable growth.

“Digital transformation is no longer optional—it is essential for business continuity and competitiveness,” said a spokesperson from Kuailu Tech. “Our four applications unify enterprise data and processes across HR, procurement, administration, and finance. This helps organizations operate efficiently, reduce risks, and make faster, smarter decisions.”

Human Resources: Integrated Talent Management

Talent drives enterprise growth. Kuailu Cloud’s HR application provides an integrated talent management system connecting recruitment, attendance, training, performance, and compensation.

The system automates the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding and payroll to performance appraisal—eliminating silos and ensuring real-time data synchronization, such as attendance linked to payroll and performance tied to salary adjustments.

Self-service portals, transparent workflows, and instant feedback channels enhance the employee experience, while analytics deliver insights into labor costs, talent development, and performance-driven growth. HR teams can now act as a strategic partner for organizational success.

Procurement: Intelligent Workflow for Cost Efficiency

Procurement is a key lever for cost control. Kuailu Cloud’s procurement automation solution digitizes the end-to-end process—from requisition and approval to goods receipt, invoice matching, and payment—reducing processing time and errors.

Centralized supplier onboarding, performance evaluation, and risk management improve compliance and supply chain resilience. With advanced spend analytics, enterprises gain visibility into purchasing patterns, cost-saving opportunities, and budget control. Procurement transforms from a cost center into a value-creating hub that enhances competitiveness.

Administration: Digital Resource Integration

Administrative tasks, though often fragmented, are critical for smooth daily operations. Kuailu Cloud’s administration application digitizes office resources, approvals, document sharing, and notifications, breaking down silos and improving service quality.

Automated workflows manage asset lifecycle, visitor control, vehicle dispatch, and office supplies. Real-time analytics provide insights into resource utilization, cost distribution, and service efficiency, enabling continuous optimization. This reduces operational costs, eases management burdens, and positions administration as a strategic driver of workplace productivity.

Finance: Intelligent Financial Management

Finance serves as the operational nerve center, where digitization directly impacts decision-making and capital security. Kuailu Cloud’s finance application uses invoice OCR recognition, automated voucher posting, and budget control to streamline processes and deliver intelligent analysis.

The platform supports voucher generation, real-time accounting, accounts receivable/payable, cash flow forecasting, and asset lifecycle management. Consolidated reporting, profitability analysis, and rolling forecasts provide precise financial visibility. This empowers leadership to make data-driven decisions, optimize resources, and strengthen profitability.

Unified Digital Infrastructure for Growth

Kuailu Cloud’s four applications operate in synergy, powered by AI and low-code technology. Unified enterprise data enables cross-functional collaboration, real-time sharing, and higher-quality decision-making.

For businesses in Singapore and globally, adopting Kuailu Cloud means more than implementing digital tools—it means selecting a strategic partner for enterprise digital transformation and sustainable growth.

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB) has gained global recognition, clinching the Sustainability Aviation Lease Deal of the Year at the 2025 Airline Economics Sustainability Deals Awards in London.

Cebu Pacific CEO Michael Szucs receives the Sustainability Aviation Lease Deal of the Year Award at the 2025 Airline Economics Sustainability Deals Awards held in London September 17, 2025
Cebu Pacific CEO Michael Szucs receives the Sustainability Aviation Lease Deal of the Year Award at the 2025 Airline Economics Sustainability Deals Awards held in London September 17, 2025

The award recognized CEB’s sustainability-linked Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option (JOLCO), which financed the delivery of a brand-new Airbus A321neo in December 2024. The Airline Economics Sustainability Awards honor companies and individuals in finance and leasing that drive meaningful progress in decarbonizing the aviation industry.

Cebu Pacific chief executive officer Mike Szucs personally received the award during the ceremony at the Natural History Museum in Cromwell Road, London.

CEB is the only low-cost carrier (LCC) in Southeast Asia able to secure this type of financing—a structure often reserved for a select group of global airlines.

“Sustainability is integral to how we grow as an airline. By linking our financing to sustainability goals, we show that strategy and responsibility can work together. It strengthens the business, allows us to invest in modern fuel-efficient aircraft, and creates value for our customers,” said Mark Cezar, CEB Chief Financial Officer.

Under the deal, CEB committed to measurable targets to reduce the carbon emission intensity of its fleet. Meeting these goals would entitle the airline to financial incentives.

The A321neo acquired through the JOLCO financing is part of CEB’s long-term strategy to transition to an all-NEO fleet, an important step in its commitment to decarbonize operations. NEOs are 20% more fuel-efficient than older-generation aircraft, significantly reducing carbon emissions per flight.

Fashion Walk exhibition commemorates the Company’s enduring legacy in Causeway Bay


HONG KONG SAR & SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 September 2025 – Hang Lung Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 00101) (the “Company” or “Hang Lung”) announced the launch of “Throwback Causeway Days,” a curated streetscape exhibition celebrating the Company’s 65th Anniversary at Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay. Since its founding on September 13, 1960, Hang Lung has played an integral role in Hong Kong’s urban development. The exhibition honors that legacy, inviting the public to explore Hang Lung’s contributions to the transformation of Causeway Bay and reflect on the Company’s long-standing commitment to creating compelling spaces that enrich lives.

The exhibition, running through October 12, is a key highlight of the anniversary celebration. It showcases the shared heritage between Hang Lung and the community, tracing the evolution of Causeway Bay from its golden age as “Hong Kong’s Little Ginza” to today’s vibrant, modern commercial district.

Mr. Mikael Jaeraas, Senior Director – Retail and Hong Kong Business Operation, said, “As we celebrate 65 years of growing with Hong Kong, the ‘Throwback Causeway Days’ exhibition is more than a nostalgic tribute. Our Causeway Bay portfolio continues to shape the district as an influencer in fashion, dining, and lifestyle. Fashion Walk curates dynamic streetscape experiences that connect with the local community and urban lifestyle. This exhibition allows us to honor our collective memories while reaffirming our commitment to revitalizing Hong Kong’s retail landscape. We warmly invite everyone to join us in celebrating this milestone and rediscover the stories that have shaped our city.”

Hang Lung’s presence in Causeway Bay began in 1975 with the introduction of the iconic Japanese department store Matsuzakaya (松坂屋) on Paterson Street, a significant tenant within Hang Lung Centre, which was fully launched with its official grand opening in 1976. This marked a milestone in Hong Kong’s retail evolution. Following the acquisition of the former Daimaru (大丸) site in 1988, Hang Lung further solidified the Company’s long-term investment in the area. Today, the Company’s Causeway Bay portfolio includes Hang Lung Centre and Fashion Walk—a vibrant lifestyle destination spanning Paterson Street, Great George Street, Kingston Street, Cleveland Street and Gloucester Road, blending diverse shopping and dining experience with community engagement, all set against the verdant backdrop of Victoria Park.

A Journey Through Causeway Bay’s Golden Age

Located on Paterson Street, the exhibition features four immersive installations that brought in the district’s cultural and commercial history.

  • “Throwback Causeway Days“: A reinterpretation of Hong Kong’s iconic neon signs, blending traditional typography with modern LED technology to evoke the vibrant streetscapes of the past.
  • “Drop Off at Daimaru”: A tribute to the rise of Japanese department stores and culture, which began in 1960 with Daimaru on the very site of today’s Fashion Walk. This installation showcases vintage retail artifacts and recalls the era when Causeway Bay became synonymous with modernity and prosperity.
  • “An Ode to Style”: An interactive installation celebrating the district’s legacy as a fashion and lifestyle hub, allowing visitors to virtually try on iconic looks from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
  • “Hang Lung 65th Anniversary”: A dedicated zone that chronicles the Company’s 65-year journey and its contributions to Hong Kong’s daily life and community through interactive games and historical trivia.

Deepening Community Connection Through Guided Walks

To further engage the public, Hang Lung has partnered with local cultural enterprise Walk in Hong Kong to offer the “Throwback Causeway Days” City Walks. Running until October 11, these 40 guided tours will uncover the rich history of 14 iconic locations in Causeway Bay — from Hang Lung landmarks to historical sites — highlighting Hang Lung’s deep-rooted presence in the neighborhood. Exclusive free tours will be available for hello Hang Lung Malls Rewards Program members.

The “Throwback Causeway Days” exhibition and its accompanying programs are central to Hang Lung’s 65th-anniversary celebration. Together, they reinforce the Company’s role beyond that of a leading property developer, highlighting its deep integration into Hong Kong’s urban fabric as a custodian of community heritage.

Bybit Becomes First Crypto Exchange to Partner with QNB Group and DMZ Finance to Accept QCDT, Unlocking Institutional Access to Digital Assets

By
Advertorial Desk
-

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced a strategic collaboration with QNB Group and DMZ Finance. Together, the partners are introducing QCDT—the world’s first DFSA-approved (Dubai Financial Services Authority) tokenised money market fund (MMF)—into Bybit’s platform as a collateral asset, marking a breakthrough in bridging traditional finance and digital assets.

Bybit is the first global crypto exchange to accept QCDT as collateral, setting a new benchmark for the integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) in digital finance. QCDT is powered by DMZ Finance’s tokenisation expertise and managed by Qatar National Bank, with custodian supported by Standard Chartered Bank. Backed by U.S. Treasuries and regulated within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), QCDT combines institutional-grade security with regulatory clarity.

Unlocking Institutional Capital with QCDT Collateralisation

The deployment of QCDT as collateral on Bybit creates up to USD 1 billion in borrowing capacity, providing new opportunities for institutions:

  • For Established CEX-Trading Institutions: A secure, compliant channel to deploy institutional funds that would typically remain idle in traditional bank accounts into exchange-based yield strategies.
  • For Traditional Financial Institutions: A safe, regulatory-aligned entry point into digital assets, combining U.S. Treasury-backed yields with low-risk, collateralised participation in the crypto ecosystem.

Strengthening Bybit’s Institutional Role

This collaboration significantly advances Bybit’s commitment to be the trusted bridge between the crypto economy and traditional financial institutions in the Middle East and globally. Bybit’s adoption of QCDT accomplishes:

  • Institutional Credibility: Bybit becomes the first to support a DFSA-approved, institutional-grade tokenised fund as collateral.
  • Capital Inflows: Unlocks billions of dollars in potential institutional liquidity currently sitting idle in banking systems.
  • Strategic Alignment: Builds trust and confidence through strategic collaboration with QNB, DMZ, and custodian supported by Standard Chartered Bank.
  • Future Growth: Opens the door to new RWA-linked products, including QCDT-backed stablecoins and yield strategies.

Yoyee Wang, Head of Business-to-Business Unit of Bybit, said:

“This collaboration is a pivotal step for Bybit’s evolving institutional strategy. By recognising QCDT as collateral, we are opening the gateway for traditional financial institutions and established trading players to participate in the digital asset ecosystem with security, compliance, and efficiency. Our role as the bridge between traditional and digital finance has never been clearer.”

Silas Lee, CEO of QNB Singapore, said:

“QCDT, a tokenized money market fund, is a pioneering step of using blockchain technology to token real-world assets such as US Treasury securities and USD-denominated deposits, thereby empowering investors to seamlessly integrate high-quality, yield bearing assets from traditional finance into the digital economy. This partnership with DMZ Finance and Bybit allows us to further extend the reach of institutional capital efficiently across traditional and digital markets, backed by a DFSA-approved framework and world-class partners.”

Nathan Ma, Co-founder & Chairman, DMZ Finance, added:

“At DMZ Finance, our mission is to build powerful infrastructure that makes real-world assets accessible in digital form. Working with Bybit and QNB on QCDT demonstrates how tokenization can bring innovation to institutional markets while bridging liquidity and access for more TradFi investors.”
