Editor's Notes
- #2 WelcomeThanks for comingSpeaker presentation
- #3 Founded on the back of easy tradeThen Invited to EU to do Pepol
- #6 Background on research: In January we commissioned some research from Vision Critical. We surveyed almost 1000 financial decision makers across 6 countries across Europe and the US to get their thoughts on e-invoicing and more.
- #11 You’ve heard the research, now here’s our solution. A manifesto to turn e-invoicing on its head and make it the innovative technological solution that has been long-promised.
- #12 Hand over to Alan
- #14 Our business model is simple. We don’t sell transactions we sell a service and we never charge to send invoices. You pay a flat rate for access to our cloud platform, depending on which features you need. We never charge suppliers and we never, take a cut of transactions, no matter how much we save you. We believe this is the easiest and most transparent way to deliver value to you.Our end goal is to build a network for global trade, where all companies can participate, that is also why we see your suppliers as valuable members and just as we do for buyers we will be offering a range of value added tools for suppliers on top of the free offering. Our mission is deliver
- #15 Tradeshift do things differently. We never charge your suppliers, because we know that in the end, this cost will always come back to you and in the process it will limit your business case as suppliers resist high prices and simply don’t connect with you. Our goal is always to connect all of your suppliers, not twenty percent. Not only because of the cost-savings of getting more in digitally, but to enable full supply chain relations digitally, everything from comments, document statuses and master data flow through the Tradeshift network. You can even build your own apps to extend your business processes or enable new collaboration areas with your suppliers.
- #18 Demo Script:Account A sends Account B a POAccount B asks a question to Account A about the POAccount A answers the question to Account B via the document level messaging toolAccount B Approves document and flips PO into an InvoiceAccount A approves InvoiceAccount B views invoice status in the portalNeed to have 2 browsers open in full screen or presentation mode. Switch the mode before you start the presentation. Use Command+Tab to get back to the presentation after you are done with demo.
- #29 Security: Before Tradeshift, most EDI networks simply kept data secure by having a firewall around the network deciding who had access and who did not, storing all transactions in one database or a set of fileservers. We do it differently, Tradeshift is a multi-tenant architecture, meaning that we use the same techniques as Salesforce and Google to keep data separated and encrypted for each user, that means that nobody, except you can access those data, unless they have your permission. Furthermore we keep signed transactions logs of all transactions going on in the network, making sure there is full accountability across the network.
- #30 Tradeshift is already today the largest global network with users in more than 190 countries. We use a combination of multiple data centers and dynamic scaling of servers to always offer fast and reliable access to the platform. Dynamic scaling allows us to grow transactions volumes following your business patterns no matter if it’s peak based or linear growth.
- #31 The founders behind Tradeshift are pioneers of open standards in the ebusiness field. We strongly believe that open standards are the only way forward. This is the reason that we currently support the development of the Universal Business Language standard, used in more than 20+ countries, which is an open XML format for business transactions. Furthermore Mikkel Hippe Brun is the chair of the international standardisation group for open interfaces between networks and finally Jon Bosak the inventor of XML is currently Tradeshifts Director of Standards. But we go beyond words and support. At developer.tradeshift.com we provide completely open API access to anyone who wants to connect with our networks or build applications that are interoperable.
- #32 When you run a business, legal compliance is one of your top priorities. We know that and our compliance team go to great lengths to ensure that the platform is compliant in the countries you operate as an enterprise customer. To date Tradeshift has been certified VAT compliant in more than 30 countries and we are continiously adding to the list. Furthermore our founder team have a background from global standardization in the field of e-business and understand the many legal complexities as well as natural trade-offs between what Tradeshift does and which processes you already have in place internally, so we continually can strike the right balance the business side and the legal requirements, without inventing problems or new costs.
