The document discusses Tradecloud, a B2B platform that aims to enable more efficient and data-driven supply chains. Some key points: - Tradecloud is the #1 platform for manufacturing and wholesale companies, with over 30,000 B2B companies and 184% transaction growth. - It offers a single platform for OEM suppliers to automate operations, improve sales processes, and sell more to new and existing customers with shorter sales cycles and higher margins. - Traditional supply chains face challenges like ineffective communication, poor forecasts, long lead times and lack of upsell opportunities. Tradecloud uses real-time data and APIs to address these issues and create more flexible, predictive and customer-centric digital supply

For B2B Industry & Wholesale

5. Increasing complexity in B2B sales
 Sales teams spend at least 25% of their
time on ineffective communication with
customers via email and Excel
 Bad forecasts result in high safety stock
 Long leads times are no longer
accepted by the market
 OEM’rs do not use webshops which
makes it difficult to upsell products to
existing customers
 A highly flexible and fast supply chain
is needed to serve customer demand
