EquiDEI is a DeFi platform that enables manufacturing SMEs to get easy access to finance based on their assets. The idea is to tokenize under-utilized assets in manufacturing supply chains and channelize the yield from these assets to provide cheap funds to supply chain entities. Based on tokenized assets and data from these supply chains we offer management analytics to our customers, helping them to get better insights to run and scale their business.
