Trade2B focuses stronger on Software development

Trade2B searches for co-operation partners for the distribution and implementation of Trade2B R4.

Trade2B, the leading software-supplier in the area of strategic purchasing (Sourcing) focuses stronger on the development of standard-software and is looking for co-operation partners for the distribution and implementation of software. Trade2B, so far primary known as service provider in the area strategic purchasing, focuses now stronger on the development of standard software and individual industry solutions. Within the range of standard software for strategic purchasing (electronic supplier search, quotations and auctions) did Trade2B differentiate itself significantly from the competition. Experts and potential customers are all enthusiastic after software tests: the current software Trade2B R4 is evaluated clearly better than solutions of other European providers and is equal with the solutions of leading providers from the USA. The Londoner consulting company QP, the leading consulting company in the area of purchasing, identified after extensive comparisons, the software of Trade2B as probably the best solution. Especially the intuitive navigation and the possibilities of assessment are “absolutely brilliant”.

In the future Trade2B will distribute its software stronger via partners, who partly will handle the service too– as well as the realisation of interfaces to ERP-systems of the customer.

“We are following the example of SAP”, explains Dr. Eberhard Aust, co-founder and member of the board of directors of Trade2B. “Nevertheless we will still advise our present customers and also important new customers in the future. Not at least in order to get feedback of the technology. One of the main reasons of the technology leadership of Trade2B is the experience from hundreds of projects with over 2000 millions of euros of managed transaction volume.”

Trade2B is convinced that the boom of software for Supply Management, quotations and auctions is approaching shortly. In times of economical crisis cost reducing methods are very important for managers and decision makers. In addition it must be considered that savings in purchasing are to be realised at short notice. The customers of Trade2B could realise cost savings of several hundred millions of Deutsch Mark last year.
