Why TradeRings? "Small and medium producers, processors, and traders continually invest in optimising their core operations. Yet, despite the many drawbacks, they still rely on WhatsApp and email for their most profit-critical activity: trading. They've had no real alternative—online marketplaces help find new partners and products, but aren't designed for confidential, ongoing trade with known customers. This is why we built TradeRings. These SMEs urgently need easy, affordable access to a solution that enables them to compete on an equal footing with the most prominent players in their industries, who have invested tens of millions in building proprietary trading platforms. "We're not another marketplace; we're their trading platform." - Matthew Slaven, CEO Suitable For Any Commodity Sector TradeRings adapts to your specific trading requirements, regardless of what you trade. - Seafood - Citrus - Paper & Packaging - Coffee & Cocoa - Livestock - Chemicals - Minerals - Wine - Plastics & Rubber - Dairy - Nuts - Metals Our flexible platform configuration ensures that, regardless of what you trade, you can create a customised private trading marketplace that perfectly matches your business needs and trading patterns.
