Webb Fontaine, an information technology (IT) solutions for trade facilitation, is expanding its research and development (R&D) in the Philippines, hoping to tap local talents in developing more tools that will help boostW the trade and customs processes for clients worldwide.
Grace Rubia-Tech, human resources manager of Webb Fontaine Group Manila Branch (WFGMB), said the Philippines is an ideal for an R&D hub given its highly-talented and resilient pool of software engineers and specialists that speak English that would meet the needs of clients across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“With the growth of Webb Fontaine’s Philippine hub, we seek to recruit and develop the best talents in the industry toward providing innovative and world-class trading solutions for Filipinos, helping them transform the way they conduct trade locally or globally,” said Tech.
For the next three to five years, Webb Fontaine aims to make the R&D center in Manila be known locally and internationally, backed by Filipino expertise in providing top-caliber IT solutions for different needs of trade and customs stakeholders, be it here in the country or overseas.
