vs the old way
One platform beats five disconnected tools.
Most desks run deals across email, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, a standalone screening subscription, and a broker or two. Nothing is connected, nothing is auditable, and the bill adds up. Here's the side-by-side.
Counterparty identity (KYC)
The old way
Google searches and a separate screening subscription
TradeFlow OS
Automated screening against 1300+ lists, built into every plan
Business verification (KYB)
The old way
PDFs over email, no owner checks, no central record
TradeFlow OS
Extensive automated KYB: registry and existence checks, ultimate beneficial owners each screened, entity AML and sanctions screening across 1300+ lists, and a verified-business badge
Finding counterparties
The old way
Cold intros and broker chains you can't verify
TradeFlow OS
Opportunities marketplace with Smart Match scoring
Negotiation
The old way
WhatsApp threads and email chains nobody can audit
TradeFlow OS
Deal rooms with chat, voice notes, term sheets, and a timeline
Documents
The old way
Hand-edited Word templates, version chaos
TradeFlow OS
15 document types generated with an AI-assisted wizard
Signing
The old way
Print, sign, scan, or a separate e-sign tool
TradeFlow OS
Immutable, tamper-evident e-signatures: an HMAC-SHA-256 hash chain with a public verification page
Provenance
The old way
A folder of scans, impossible to verify
TradeFlow OS
Custody-chain passports with public verification links
Trust & reputation
The old way
Gut feel and references you can't check
TradeFlow OS
A verifiable 5-component TradeFlow Score and peer reviews
Cost
The old way
Several tools, several invoices, $1,500+/mo
TradeFlow OS
One subscription. Free to start; screening included
The math is simple.
Running several disconnected tools adds up to $1,500+/mo combined. TradeFlow OS includes screening, deal management, documents, signing, and provenance, starting at $0.
