L'histoire de Tradeshift

A Tradeshift, nous construisons un monde plus connecté.

Et un rêve en commun...

En 2005, les entrepreneurs Christian, Mikkel et Gert avaient une vision: connecter toutes les entreprises du monde. Ainsi, lorsque l’agence nationale danoise des technologies de l’information et des télécommunications leur a demandé de créer un réseau de facturation électronique, ils ont vu une opportunité de créer quelque chose de plus grand.

EasyTrade est créée, la première plateforme d’échanges commerciaux open-source* au monde. Ont-ils transgressé les règles et forcé l’admiration au passage ? Et comment !

Le trio se remet ensuite au travail, cette fois pour donner forme à leur vision, une plateforme d’échange mondiale et pas seulement européenne. Une plateforme qui transformerait la manière dont les entreprises travaillent ensemble. Passer d’incomplet à efficace ; de compliqué à simple ; d’archaïque à moderne.

C'est ainsi que Tradeshift voit le jour.

*95% des entreprises danoises l’utilisent toujours.

Une équipe qui grandit. Une vision identique.

Tradeshift s’est développé et emploie désormais plus de 800 personnes avec des bureaux dans 13 pays mais notre objectif n’a pas changé. Selon nous, rien ne rassemble un monde fragmenté aussi bien que le commerce. Nous numérisons et connectons tous les éléments associant un acheteur et un fournisseur, partout dans le monde.
