01What needed changing

TradeKaiju does a lot at once: a verified-supplier marketplace, sourcing requests, live commodity data and sector reports, for buyers, suppliers and agencies in one place. All of that range was reaching users at the same time.

02Decisions we made

What we chose, and why.

01

Make the brand as serious as the trades.

A rebrand for a more credible, market-facing posture, so the platform holds up in front of buyers placing high-value orders.

02

Rebuild the structure before the screens.

How suppliers, products, sourcing and market intelligence relate to each other was reworked, twice, as the business grew.

03

Redesign the core flows around that structure.

With the parts given clear edges, the main journeys were redesigned so buyers and suppliers can find each other and act.

03The work

Three kinds of user, one marketplace.

Each participant got a home built around what they need from a trade.

BuyersFind verified supply and the market context to act on it.
SuppliersReach serious buyers with products they can stand behind.
AgenciesWork across both sides of a trade in the same place.
04How it fits together
