What RaDu does

RaDu is a Netherlands-based B2B SaaS company that operates a data integration platform for the maritime industry. The platform functions as a central hub connecting shipchandlers, service companies, agencies, and maritime manufacturers with real-time access to product specifications, live stock levels, and order and delivery statuses. The company targets operational inefficiencies in maritime supply chains, where fragmented data sources and manual coordination create inventory and production planning challenges for sellers, purchasers, and producers.

The core technology is an API-based integration platform that retrieves technical documentation, lead times, and stock data in real time, removing the need for direct contact with support staff for routine queries. The offering is organized into modular solutions: Seller Solutions for shipchandlers and service companies managing product availability; Purchaser Solutions for procurement and inventory management; and Maker Solutions for manufacturers handling production planning and supply-demand balancing. Real-time data integration via API is positioned as the central differentiator, enabling what the company describes as instantaneous access to technical, stock, and order information across the maritime supply chain.

RaDu operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, engaging maritime operators through direct outreach initiated via its website (radu.nl) and supported by a modest Instagram presence. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based SaaS model, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through contact-based quoting. The company's primary market is the Netherlands and broader Europe, though direct sales positioning references a global service scope. No headcount, funding, ownership, leadership team, partnerships, certifications, patents, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available data.
