Anyone who has been through the early stages of a CTRM selection process knows how difficult it is to find research you can actually trust. There’s no shortage of material out there, but much of it originates from vendors, or has been shaped by commercial relationships that aren’t always visible to the reader. ComTech Advisory’s Vendor Perceptions Survey takes a different approach entirely.
What sets it apart from most industry reports is a rule that software vendors are explicitly excluded from taking part, with responses carefully vetted before the results are analysed.
The results are therefore shaped entirely by the people actually using CTRM systems. Traders, merchants, producers, and consultants all giving their honest, unprompted views on who the market leaders are and what matters most when choosing a system.
The 2026 survey is now open, and we’re asking our clients and contacts to respond.
For a smaller provider like Gen10, this survey is one of the few places where we compete on a level playing field with vendors ten times our size. Every single response that mentions Gen10 has a noticeable impact on how we appear in the results. Simply put, if our users don’t take part, we don’t show up.
The survey takes under 10 minutes and covers everything from overall market leadership to specific commodity categories and implementation quality. There’s no limit on how many people from your organisation can respond, so please do pass it on to your colleagues, too.
Whether you are a Gen10 user or not, we encourage you to share your thoughts, shape the report, and help others in the industry make better-informed choices.
And if you’re evaluating your CTRM or Commodity Management choices right now and don’t want to wait for the publication of the final report, get in touch with us today, and we’d be happy to connect you with some of our current clients so that you can hear what they think of CommOS and working with Gen10 first-hand.
