TradeGecko provides an inventory management platform targeted at wholesalers and online retailers. The system also integrates with other cloud based software such as Shopify e-commerce, WooCommerce e-commerce, and Xero accounting. [1]

The company was recognised as one of the most innovative business-to-business software providers at the Red Herring Asia 100. [2] On August 4, 2020, Intuit announced an acquisition of TradeGecko for more than US$80 million. [3]

History

TradeGecko was launched in 2013 by Carl Thompson and brothers Cameron and Bradley Priest, three New Zealanders. [4] [5] [6]

Thompson, who ran the label Crowded Elevator, saw the need for a solution in managing inventory administration and made the decision to create one. [4] "Running my clothing label was exciting and I enjoyed it a lot. But we grew very fast and the amount of administration quickly overwhelmed us. I couldn’t find a solution to pull it all together. Spreadsheets and manual data processing turned into an absolute nightmare," he said. [7]

The trio went through the JFDI.Asia Accelerate program before going on to raise a round of financing through from Singapore-based investors. [8] In April 2015, TradeGecko raised $6.5 million series A round led by NSI Ventures and Jungle Ventures. [9]
