Rapid Addition Wins Best Solution for Workflow Automation Award

We are delighted to announce that Rapid Addition has won Best Solution for Workflow Automation at the TradingTech Insight Awards Europe 2026. The award ceremony took place following the TradingTech Summit at the Hilton hotel in Canary Wharf. The event is known for bringing together leading technology providers and practitioners from across the capital markets ecosystem and this year was no exception, with the best-attended edition to date.

This award recognises Rapid Addition’s work helping financial institutions design, build, and implement seamless workflow automation across complex trading and post-trade environments.

Delivering Scalable, Interoperable Workflow Automation

Rapid Addition’s workflow automation solutions are designed to help customers achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and flexibility across complex trading environments. Using RA Platform, we deliver tailored, end-to-end workflows and seamless data transformation and enrichment that optimise trading operations while addressing the real-world challenges of legacy systems, integration, and interoperability.
RA Web UI provides intuitive, user-friendly visualisation tools that allow customers to design, configure, and deploy their own trading workflows, while the underlying RA Hub platform solves cross-protocol and cross-data model interoperability challenges. High performance data transformation and enrichment, regardless of protocol or customisation, ensures workflow execution between applications and systems, even in highly heterogeneous technology environments. Crucially, unique customer solutions are configured on the same underlying enterprise platform, enabling a genuine “buy and build” approach that accelerates the deployment of customer IP without sacrificing control or flexibility.

In practice, this approach has delivered measurable results across a range of demanding use cases. For one of the world’s largest stock exchanges, Rapid Addition modernised LSEG’s global order routing and IOI network, streamlining onboarding and enabling seamless integration of client ROEs, multiple FIX versions, and client-specific tags. Cloud deployment and automated failover significantly improved resilience and scalability, while consolidated real-time monitoring and data-driven insights enhanced client support and issue resolution.

In another example, a leading South African bank used Rapid Addition’s data-driven conditional workflows and advanced routing capabilities to automate end-to-end client order flow across care and DMA execution (spanning both software and FPGA infrastructure). The solution significantly reduced latency while simplifying integration with the bank’s execution platform and third-party applications. Similar implementations have been extended to transform and enrich trading platform data for easy integration with post-trade systems, removing a key source of cost and complexity.

Across all engagements, Rapid Addition’s vendor-neutral, highly interoperable, and customer-centric approach enables firms to automate complex, high-performance workflows with confidence, both today and as their platforms evolve.
