“The additional funding we’ve secured is a testament to the belief the investor community has in our vision and our business model,” said Christian Lanng, CEO of Tradeshift in the statement. “As a network business, growth is always going to be a key part of our story. But it’s also important that we manage that growth responsibly.”
Christian stirs our thought processes with questions like “What if we started ‘not’ seeing any tail spend, any invoice approvals, etc again - that the software just does it? What if we moved to ‘no’ decisions needing to be made because the technology processes orders, invoices, payments without us even having to be involved?” That’s where technology is moving, and so Lanng predicts, 90% of the decisions we make today will be automated within the coming three years.
