Case Study: Tradeshift achieves rapid global scalability and faster time-to-market with Amazon Web Services

Tradeshift - Customer Case Study

Tradeshift, founded in Copenhagen in 2010, built a cloud platform to digitize business interactions like invoicing and bring the "long tail" of small businesses into digital supply chains. The company needed a massively scalable, low-cost global network that could quickly onboard buyers and suppliers while meeting enterprise security and compliance expectations.

By running on AWS (initially EC2, S3, EBS and later a Docker-based microservices architecture), Tradeshift went live within three months, achieved rapid regional scale and shortened customer deployments from months to weeks. The platform now supports about 800,000 companies in 190 countries, handles billions in monthly transactions, saw 250% growth in transaction value year-over-year (2015 vs 2014), expanded into China, and secured strong investor backing (a $75M round in 2016 valuing the company at $600M).
