Company

Think IS was founded in 2010 as a technology, trading and service solutions company. It is think IS’s key objective to deliver the best of breed technology, products and services into the online trading space.

Think IS was created to ensure that companies wishing to offer trading products to their clients are able to integrate, innovate, monitor performance in real time and define the look, feel and service practices of their trading operation to suit their client base.

With a purely B2B offering, think IS understand that each partner requires a core level of diversity. Through utilising modern technology we give the required control to our partners to facilitate with ease the development of their business, provide the most appropriate and fitting technical solutions to their end client needs and ultimately increase their profitability.

Background

The online trading space was pioneered by companies that wished to offer their trading capability to their own client bases, through the course of time those solutions were offered also to 3rd parties for distribution to their client bases.

As those 3rd party partners became more successful their technology and service requirements grew in order to remain appropriate for their needs and the requirements of their end clients. Think IS’s key focus will always be innovation, this enables our partners to demonstrate to their client base their ability to constantly innovate and develop keeping the products fresh and ahead of the game.

What We Do

Think IS is a trading and technology solutions provider. We take the best of breed retail trading products, content and data, collate and integrate them, then design and rebrand in one user friendly personalised trading dashboard.

The aggregated content is then delivered via our Panorama web and smart-phone applications, incorporating social networks, visualization tools, video, alerts and more. The core premise of Panorama is to push this content to the customer so they have a personalised user experience dependent on their individual profile. This enhances both their user experience and their trading activity.

Our clients then market that personalised product to their customer base and use our state of the art HQ system. HQ manages ‘real time’ customer tracking, profiling and drill down capability, reporting, online and offline content, advertising, trading activity and commissions to ensure maximum impact and revenue generation of that product.

Think IS’s technology is a result of Think IS's own development as well as the integration of various complementary 3rd party providers into the platform. Think IS is a working product and is undergoing constant improvements with a fully phased development plan already in place. Think IS does not offer pricing execution of its own.
