Ecommpay shortlisted for best eCommerce payment solution award
Ecommpay has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best eCommerce Payment Solution category at the 2025 eCommerce Awards. The inclusion of Ecommpay as a finalist highlights the company's recent enhancements to its payment journey, focusing on addressing transaction drop-offs and providing flexibility for users globally. Judges have recognised features such as the 'Try again' option for failed payments and the dynamic presentation of currency choices to consumers making international purchases. The eCommerce Awards recognise achievements and developments in the online retail industry, highlighting solutions and products that have made a discernible impact on how merchants and consumers interact within digital marketplaces. Payment journey improvements Ecommpay's platform integrates over 100 Alternative Payment Methods (APMs), which are accessible through a single interface. This enables merchants to serve customers across multiple regions using their preferred local payment methods. Within the checkout experience, customers can select not only the payment method but also the currency in which they pay, improving transparency and customer satisfaction by matching the transaction with the card's currency where possible. The 'Try again' feature introduced by Ecommpay allows for real-time responses to failed payments during the checkout process. Shoppers are given the opportunity to retry the same payment method or seamlessly select a different option, rather than abandoning their purchase. This process is designed to reduce declines, minimise cart abandonment, and create a smoother purchasing journey for both merchants and end-users. Industry recognition Speaking about the company's approach, Moshe Winegarten, Chief Revenue Officer at Ecommpay, stated: "Merchants need access to comprehensive and well-performing Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) for every region in which they want to trade, and Ecommpay is committed to delivering exactly that. We build our solutions inhouse, from the ground up, in response to real customer and merchant needs, helping customers to pay in their preferred way and reduce drop-offs. This shortlisting recognises the importance of the new features we have added to our payment platform." Ecommpay builds its payment solutions in-house, aiming to streamline operations for merchants and simplify the payment experience for consumers. This internal development approach provides support for both global and local acquiring, and payment processing is delivered through a single API connection. Industry observers have noted that flexibility in payments, local currency options, and seamless retry features are increasingly regarded as vital components for merchants seeking to expand internationally and mitigate failed transactions. Award ceremony The winners of the 2025 eCommerce Awards will be announced in London, where industry professionals will attend an event aimed at highlighting the work undertaken by businesses in the payments and online retail technology sector. Ecommpay, through these enhancements and inclusion as a finalist, continues to be recognised for its focus on customer journey improvements and payments integration capabilities for merchants operating in diverse global markets.

On Friday, a meeting was held at the IDOC Conference Hall with education department officials to review the Badi Bata program and the distribution of school uniforms. Speaking on the occasion, the District Collector emphasized the need to increase student enrollment in schools. He instructed that all students from classes 1 to 9 enrolled last academic year must be enrolled in classes 2 to 10 this year without fail. A clear list should be prepared showing which schools the children in Anganwadi centers will join, and welfare officers should ensure each child is enrolled accordingly. He stressed the identification of out-of-school children and the need to guide and enroll them in schools without exception. Daily action plans under the Badi Bata program should be submitted as reports. He also directed officials to visit every household, identify students studying in Anganwadi, government, and private schools, and update the village education register. The Collector instructed all officials to prevent child marriages and ensure that every child continues their education. He asked for awareness meetings to be conducted at the mandal level about school admissions. He also called for maintaining cleanliness and proper sanitation in schools. Parents should be made fully aware of the various benefits offered by the government to students studying in government schools, including free textbooks, notebooks, uniforms, digital education, scholarships, and other incentives. He further suggested promoting the academic success of Class 10 students in government schools to encourage enrollments. He instructed that high-quality school uniforms must be distributed to students by June 12, prior to the reopening of schools.

Collector Santosh Urges Swift Paddy Transport and Protection Measures Amid Rain Forecast in Gadwal
Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh has directed officials to ensure that procured paddy is immediately transported to rice mills and adequately protected with tarpaulins to prevent damage from potential rainfall. On Thursday, the District Collector, along with Additional Collector Narsinga Rao, inspected the paddy procurement centers being run under the supervision of the IKP at Chenugonipalli and Guntipalli villages in Gadwal Mandal. During the inspection, the Collector reviewed key aspects of the procurement process including moisture levels in the grain, lorry loading operations, and data entry in the OPMS (Online Procurement Management System). Noting the possibility of unseasonal rains, he instructed officials to expedite the procurement process to avoid grain spoilage. He emphasized that once the moisture content in the paddy reaches 17%, it should be promptly bagged, loaded onto lorries, and sent to the mills without delay. Until transportation is arranged, the bags must be securely covered with tarpaulins to protect them from rain. The Collector also stressed the importance of accurate and timely data entry in OPMS and maintaining proper records. He instructed officials to ensure there is no shortage of gunny bags or lorries at the procurement centers. Adequate labor should be arranged to avoid delays in transportation, and enough tarpaulins should be kept ready to handle any unexpected rainfall. He further directed that once the truck is loaded, data entry should be done in OPMS without delay, and farmers should receive their payments immediately to avoid inconvenience. During the visit, the Collector interacted with farmers and inquired about the facilities being provided at the centers. Farmers shared their feedback and experiences directly with the Collector. Also present at the event were District Civil Supplies Manager Vimala, Additional DRDO Narsimhulu, Mandal Agriculture Officers, APMs, farmers, and other officials.

Singapore must remain 'key node' in global supply chains amidst uncertainty: Chee Hong Tat, Singapore News
Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat said that Singapore must remain a "key node" in the global supply chain amid ongoing uncertainty. Speaking to media at PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal on Friday (May 16), Chee said that despite greater turbulence, uncertainty and shifts in the world, Singapore's container volumes have grown by 6.1 per cent during the first four months of 2025, compared to the same period last year. Singapore handled 14.2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) – which is a measure of cargo capacity – from January to April this year. "Container (throughput) has remained strong despite what's happening," he said, adding that this is something he hopes can continue. Chee added that companies have boosted trade activity in recent months due to the pause in higher tariff rates and this increase in activity has benefitted Singapore. "There is actually a boost in terms of companies trying to do some front loading and catching up, trying to make full use of this window," he said. On Monday, United States and China agreed to pause the massive tariffs they imposed on each other's goods for 90 days. The US also shaved its earlier tariff of 145 per cent on Chinese goods to 30 per cent on May 12 after a temporary deal for 90 days was brokered after talks in Geneva. Chee also said: "I think we will have to stay very nimble, keep in close contact with our key customers." "No matter how global supply chains were to shift, what's key is for Singapore to remain an important hub port and a key node in the global supply chain." He continued that while companies may shift the origin, destination or the way cargo is transported, the Government wants to ensure Singapore puts forth a strong value proposition to its customers. This is so that no matter how these shifts happen, companies will still want to pass through Singapore. "So yes, there will be negative impact in some areas, on some sectors, but there could be new opportunities too," he said, adding that the government will intervene to help local companies and workers where necessary. Chee, who is part of the new Singapore Economic Resilience Task force (SERT), also said that the uncertain trade situation is being closely watched. [[nid:716763]] "Part of the work in this task force is also to identify and seize these new opportunities," he said, adding that a further update will be given by SERT chairman Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong. Autonomous vehicles in trial phase On Friday, Chee was also given a tour of PSA Singapore's new Autonomous Prime Movers (APM), which are currently being tested. The APMs come from two vendors: Venti Technologies and Westwell, and use artificial intelligence to transport containers around Pasir Panjang Terminal. Being fully automated allows them to generate a route and follow it when given a destination. During this trial period, movers are monitored by PSA personnel from a control room, who can intervene remotely should any technical issues arise. PSA Singapore will be hiring more than 2,500 employees this year in different roles such as frontline port operations, IT and data science. These jobs will be created to support its growth and expansion such as operations in the new Tuas Port, which currently has 11 berths in operation. One more berth is planned by the end of this year, four more in 2026 and a further two in 2027, said Chee. When fully completed in the 2040s, Tuas Port will have a handling capacity of 65 million TEUs. Global maritime sector to face choppy waters: SM Lee While speaking at the Singapore Maritime Lecture on March 24, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that choppy waters lie ahead for the global maritime sector due to geopolitical tensions and climate change straining the world's trade system. However, globalisation is unlikely to completely reverse itself. "The world still needs to trade, and countries still need to do business with one another," said SM Lee. He explained that trade is "existential" for Singapore, as the maritime sector is a major part of the nation's economy, contributing to over six per cent of its gross domestic product and about 140,000 jobs. "Being so small, we have no choice. But we are not alone. Even with globalisation in retreat, many countries still believe that trade can be a win-win proposition, and want to preserve as much of the benefits of the multilateral trading system as possible," SM Lee said.
