How Gehtsoft Powers Tradu’ s Unified Trading Super App

CEO Ivan Gekht explains how 25 years of fintech expertise helped deliver a seamless multi-asset platform with 200,000 downloads.
Gehtsoft USA, a software engineering company specialising in high-stakes solutions, has transformed Tradu’ s disjointed trading systems into a unified trading app, addressing the growing demand for seamless financial services integration.
Ivan Gekht, CEO and owner of Gehtsoft USA, explains how his company goes beyond traditional vendor relationships.“ We are a software engineering company that turns customer vision into reality,” he says.“ We go beyond the specs.”
With 25 years of experience in fintech development, Gehtsoft has enabled applications used by over five million people. The company works with partners ranging from startups to billion-dollar enterprises.
Creating Tradu’ s SuperApp Tradu approached Gehtsoft to create a SuperApp combining forex, CFDs, stock trading, cryptocurrency and wallet functionality.

“ We built a hybrid solution combining the speed and cost-effectiveness of web development with the compliance needed for app store approvals,” Ivan explains.
The solution uses native wrappers to deliver enterprise-grade mobile performance while maintaining multi-platform affordability.
Biometric authentication requires custom engineering, since standard hybrid frameworks don’ t support it reliably across platforms.
To tackle this challenge, Gehtsoft created a native bridge combining component-based development speed with custom code precision. The mobile app achieved a 4.8 + rating across app stores and generated over 200,000 downloads.
Beyond traditional vendor relationships Gehtsoft’ s approach as a technology partner rather than a traditional vendor affected the entire development strategy. Instead of focusing narrowly on coding, the company took ownership of fragmented architecture and aligned multiple vendors and stakeholders.
“ This work encompasses administrative, organisational and technological dimensions,” Ivan continues.“ It’ s more than just development work.” The approach incorporated focusing on long-term goals, including performance, security and scalability, from project inception. And this success was supported by the company’ s quarter-
