Network strength

Gross Merchandise Volume across the Tradeshift platform rose by 40 per cent year over year in Q4, while the number of new seller connections to Tradeshift rose by an average of 40,000 per month. Tradeshift estimates that new customers signed over the past year will bring at least $20 billion in additional GMV within scope during the initial go-live period, with potential for significant further expansion thereafter.

“B2B marketplaces have been the number one driver of new revenues for us over the past 12 months," said Christian Lanng, CEO and co-founder, Tradeshift. "That's a real testament to our platform strategy and the underlying strength of our network. Millions of businesses use Tradeshift to connect digitally and automate transaction workflows. When it comes to delivering a B2B marketplace solution that's as robust on the back end as it is intuitive on the front end, we're building on rock solid foundations. It’s a world away from the proliferation of thinly reskinned consumer sites, masquerading as enterprise products, that fail to reflect the way businesses connect and transact.”

Fintech acceleration

Tradeshift announced $200m in funding and debt in Q4 to help further accelerate network growth and product development. A proportion of the new investment going towards scaling and expanding Tradeshift's fast-growing portfolio of fintech services for buyers and sellers.
