– A Platform Approach
Hi, thank you for joining us! We will begin shortly. In the meantime:
• Please type your questions and comments into the Q&A box to the left of the screen
• Keep in mind that the slides and recording will be sent out after the webinar
Agenda
• Various trends driving change in businesses
○ The future requires network powered business
• The Tradeshift Platform & app development
• Supply Chain Collaboration on Tradeshift
• Quyntess Overview
• Quyntess Apps
• Q&A
• The workforce is younger, smarter, better educated and demands
meaningful jobs
• The individual employees are the company value
• There will be little difference between internal and external; boundaries are
soft
• Everything is connected (people, companies, countries, machines) -
Software is eating the world!
• Mobile is becoming default also for enterprise use-cases
• Cost of change is more important than cost per transaction
• Data is a resource and it decays if it’s not fresh
• Machine learning is a game-changer and true cloud companies have a big
advantage in this game
The future of business depends on the ability to
thrive in a world where:
• Linear and often disconnected supply chain
• Information lags due to internal/external siloes
• Fragmented systems and business processes
• Change is slow
Businesses and their supply chain need to move
from linear to networked models
• Supply chains networks are connected
• Connectivity enables collaboration, real-time
information
• Line between internal and external blurred
• Change is fast. Agility is made easier.

Five elements in
The Future of Business• The ERP System is the system of record connected with an integrated
cloud network connecting all business partners, customers, suppliers and
employees
• Applications are easy to activate, fast to change and open for everyone to
develop, thereby accelerating process innovation
• Collaboration is across the network and not just the company; Suppliers
and customers are an integrated part of business processes
• Analytics and data creates value for the individual before the company
• The network is the core, and financial data is one of many views on it
So what is the future of business software?
1. It’s connecting people and companies in the cloud,
rather than on stand-alone business applications
(network)
2. It’s the enablement of everyone to run and execute
business processes as network-enabled applications
rather than stand-alone silos (platform)
What is Network Powered Business?
“A platform is a system that can be programmed and
therefore customized by outside developers –users – and in
that way, adapted to countless needs and niches that the
platform's original developers could not have possibly
contemplated, much less had time to accommodate.”
— Marc Andreesen
Tradeshift is a supplier collaboration platform that connects buyers,
suppliers, and all their processes in one global network.
We help businesses transform the way they work with suppliers
today – and adapt to whatever the future brings.

Switch to open standards
• disrupt the traditional ways of doing business
• bring all your SC Partners together to transact,
connect and collaborate seamlessly
Transparent, service based model for your suppliers
• all SC Processes managed in a closed loop
through adoption of:
o Single Version of Truth (SVoT)
o Single Version of Process (SVoP)
o Single Version of Data by UBL (SVoD)
• People Advantage
• Great people, high moral standards, power of ideas, practice what you preach
• Best Businesss Model available
• Our previous Business Network was bought by SAP and turned into a “closed
shop” model
• Other Business Networks lack interoperability and have closed models striving
for vendor lock-in
• Superior Value Creation for our customers
• Metcalfe’s law: Value of Network is exponential to members taking part
• Adoption = key success factor to drive collaboration and efficiency returns
• Tradeshift has onboarding and adoption like no other
• Tradeshift Technology advantage
• Consumerization of IT: World class user experience drives adoption and
process quality. Simply great UI
• Tradeshift Platform extremely well thought to build Apps with seamless end to
end user experience

• Subscribe to business partner EDI content within the App
• Pay monthly flat fee to exchange data “lights out” between back end
• How is this different from using Bableway?
• Babelway allows partners to build the integration to the Tradeshift API for
standard processes themselves (“come as we are = UBL format)
• QiS is the service based variant of Bableway:
• Partners can keep the existing EDI or ERP bridge they have in place already
(“come as you are”)
• Any technical communication channel supported (x400 / AS2 / oFTP etc)
• Managed service on end to end delivery actively monitored with SLA. Ready
for mission critical supply chain processes
