About us

Tradeshape was founded in 2004 to provide software and services for the financial services industry. We are an Irish company headquartered in Cork, with consultants based in Europe and the UK.


Our Vision

To build long term relationships with clients, integrating our people as part of your team. We will continue to work with you beyond the initial stages of creating and implementing solutions, and will offer you ongoing support.

To approach clients’ projects with an open mind, without prejudice towards any platforms, technologies, and tools, while endeavouring to find the most appropriate solution to provide secure, innovative, maintainable and time-effective responses to your ongoing and changing needs.

To look after the welfare of our team. We have a standard 32 hour working week, and support a hybrid, primarily remote, working model. Evidence suggests that this leads to happier and more productive employees.

How we work

Statement of work

We work with you to define the scope of your project and assign a number of days to the engagement.

Assigning a team

We assign a small team which provides you with continuity and flexibility. Each project is overseen by a Senior Consultant, meaning you always have our expertise at your disposal.

Project management

Our projects are managed using the Agile methodology. We generally work remotely, working on-site with you as the project dictates.

Completion

We run a SOW project that could range from 10 to 60-day engagements, with an agreed timeline. The days do not have to run consecutively.
