B2B marketplace for agricultural commodities

Rootie, a game-changing B2B marketplace for agricultural raw commodities like starch, gluten, and maltodextrin, emerged from the vision of a seasoned industry veteran with over a decade of successful trading experience.

Sudolabs impressed us with their unprecedented level of professionalism, which allowed us to fully trust the quality of their software solutions.

— Pavol Majerčík, CEO at Rootie

The challenge

Prior to Rootie, the agricultural industry relied on outdated communication methods, leading to lengthy negotiations and a need for more transparency in product availability. The process needed to be reimagined.

At Sudolabs, we balanced client ideas with problem-solving, focusing on tangible issues. Strategically, we targeted smaller players engaged in frequent, smaller-scale transactions.

Our approach

Our engagement began with a clear goal: to revolutionize the competitive landscape by introducing a unified platform for raw material producers and consumers. This platform aimed to stabilize prices, streamline trading processes, and extend visibility on a pan-European scale.

We conducted rigorous product discovery sessions, in-depth market research, user interviews, and iterative design and validation. The journey culminated in high-fidelity designs and a functional MVP.
