From Setback to Success

In the fast-paced world of business, mergers and acquisitions can either lead to new opportunities or unforeseen challenges. Such was the case when TradeGecko found itself in the hands of Intuit, QuickBooks' parent company. Initially, the acquisition seemed like a continuation of business as usual for TradeGecko and its cloud-based inventory management system.

However, the winds of change soon swept through the company as Intuit's strategic vision unfolded. With QuickBooks setting its sights on cloud dominance to compete with the likes of Xero, TradeGecko's specialised Dev team emerged as a valuable asset for the ambitious plans ahead. The acquisition gradually transitioned into a full-blown merger, signalling a significant shift in direction for TradeGecko.

As the dust settled, the news hit hard – TradeGecko was to be rebranded as QuickBooks Commerce and phased out for customers beyond North America. Uncertainty loomed large for businesses relying on TradeGecko's platform, including an eCommerce fashion company juggling thousands of SKUs and a substantial inventory value.

In the face of this daunting challenge, the fashion company turned to our team of IT experts for a lifeline. Tasked with seamlessly migrating to a new inventory management system that integrated with Shopify, Xero, and catered to wholesale customers through a B2B storefront, we embraced the opportunity to deliver a solution that would not only meet but exceed their needs.

After meticulous research and analysis, we zeroed in on Cin7's innovative Core system, a cloud-based inventory management solution that promised a feature-rich experience akin to TradeGecko. Despite the complexity of handling over 5,000 SKUs and a substantial inventory holding, our team navigated the migration process with precision and expertise.

By leveraging our deep-rooted knowledge in IT solutions and our commitment to empowering businesses through digital platforms, we transformed what could have been a crisis into a resounding success story. The seamless integration of the Cin7 Core system not only met the client's expectations but surpassed them, paving the way for a new chapter of growth and efficiency.

In the world of IT transformations, challenges may be inevitable, but with the right experts by your side, every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity for success.
