The platform enables businesses and financial institutions to record ownership and create electronic warehouse warrants that can be used to support inventory financing. Commodities such as tea, coffee, jewellery, and precious stones etc. can be registered on Tradeflow and pledged as collateral to financial institutions while remaining safely stored. This allows businesses to use their inventory to support financing without selling the underlying commodities. For diamond and precious stone traders, Tradeflow supports a collateralised financing programme that enables rough diamonds to remain in the trader's possession while serving as collateral. Jewellers can also register RFID-tagged inventory on Tradeflow, allowing Tradeflow warrants to support financing against their retail inventory. ![img-man-in-suit-looking-up](https://dmcc.ae/hs-fs/hubfs/o2-Website%202023%20Assets/o2-Website%202023-Design%20Assets/ecosystems/tradeflow/img-man-in-suit-looking-up.webp?width=1200&height=1016&name=img-man-in-suit-looking-up.webp) ### Islamic finance DMCC is at the forefront of advancing the Islamic finance industry globally through its commitment to innovative, Shariah-compliant finance solutions.
