PARIS, France – 21 July 2020 | Sidetrade (Euronext Growth: ALBFR.PA), the
Artificial Intelligence platform dedicated to accelerating company revenue and
cashflow, reports a record-breaking second quarter, with remarkable growth in
revenue and orders despite the severity of the Covid crisis.

 

Olivier Novasque, CEO of Sidetrade, had this to say about Q2 2020 achievements:
Income and bookings achieved an unparalleled level this second quarter despite the overall state of
the economy. Even with all of our staff teleworking, we still achieved the best quarter of our history in
terms of sales, with €6.1m in new contracts signed. This performance is the fruit of years of work on
innovation, especially AI. Additionally, Sidetrade’s position perfectly meets the needs of today’s
businesses striving to boost and secure cashflow in an increasingly digital world. Current market
dynamics are actually strengthening our leadership position at home and abroad. I would once again
like to thank our teams for meeting the present challenges with creativity and dedication. I also want
to thank our customers for their continuing trust during difficult times.
