Die Tradeshift Story

Wir bei Tradeshift gestalten eine besser vernetzte Welt

...und einem Traum.

In 2005 hatten die drei Unternehmer Christian, Mikkel und Gert eine Vision: alle Unternehmen weltweit miteinander zu verbinden. Als dann die Dänische IT & Telekom Agentur auf sie zukam und fragte, ob sie ein E-Invoicing-Netzwerk erstellen konnten, haben die drei Dänen die Möglichkeit gesehen etwas großes zu schaffen.

Zuerst schufen sie EasyTrade, die erste Open-Source Handelsplattform der Welt* Riefen Sie dabei etwa einige Begeisterungsstürme hervor und missachteten sie einige Regeln? Natürlich.

Dann machte sich das Trio wieder an die Arbeit. Dieses Mal, um ihre Vision einer offenen Geschäftsplattform für die ganze Welt – nicht nur Europa – zu realisieren. Eine Plattform, welche die Art und Weise wie Geschäftspartner miteinander agieren, wandelt. Von ineffizient zu effizient, Kompliziertes wird einfach, Veraltetes wird modern.

Und so wurde Tradeshift geboren.

*95 % der dänischen Unternehmen verwenden es heute noch.
