Inventory Management Platform TradeGecko Launches Online Ordering, Starts Taking Beta Users For Its Mobile App And WooCommerce Integration
Summary
Founder and CMO Carl Thompson started TradeGecko with the idea of saving merchants from the spreadsheet hell he encountered while running his own streetwear clothing label. Before founding TradeGecko, the startup’s team began developing a mobile sales app that worked on top of Netsuite and Salesforce. After joining Singapore-based incubator program JFDI and working with mentors like Lumatic CEO Scott Rafer and Scrive board member Boris Nordenstrom, they realized that business model was unrealistic. TradeGecko’s upcoming app lets the team come full circle by launching a mobile sales solution on top of their own platform, says Thompson. Along with its mobile app, TradeGecko is also taking beta customers for its upcoming integration with WooCommerce, the fast-growing e-commerce platform for WordPress that has scored over 1.2 million downloads.
