Agriculture & soft commodities

CommOS runs the custom supply chain workflows each crop demands, across more than 100 commodities, so your team spend their time on decisions, not data entry.

Built for how soft commodities actually move.

Coffee, cotton, cocoa and sugar are four of the more than 100 commodities managed on CommOS, and none of them trade like a financial instrument. They are sampled, classed, blended, split and re-graded on the way from farm to buyer, and the position changes every time. And even the same crop can have a different workflow in each geography. CommOS reflects that physical reality for every virtual lot, keeping your MtM and risk in step with it through the day.

What CommOS does

One system, from sampling to settlement.

Logistics

Down to the bale, lot and tank

Define a custom workflow for every crop, then let CommOS run it.

  • Import lot and bale quality from suppliers, warehouses and inspection companies, by API or file upload.
  • Combine, split, process and blend lots, and manage tanks.
  • Track multimodal shipments with live vessel positions.
  • See the contents of any container at any point in the journey.

Pricing & quality

Pricing and quality stay in step

Pricing and cost estimates that update as the real-world picture does.

  • Premiums and discounts for location, crop year, cupping scores, staple, wet/dry weights, and more.
  • New HVI results and quality inspections recalculate Mark-to-Market against the updated quality.
  • P&L and Mark-to-Market reflect the actual live position.
  • Generate invoices and shipping documents with one click.

Risk

Real-time, global inventory management

See every lot, bale, or bag, updated throughout the day.

  • Operational data available across your business.
  • Build dashboards by counterparty, geography, grade or supplier.
  • NaNi surfaces what needs attention whilst CommOS automates daily tasks.
  • Create a resilient organisation that responds fast to supply chain disruption.

Agentic AI that already knows your book.

NaNi is the agentic assistant built into CommOS. Because she works inside your Commodity Management System, she already knows your contracts, lots, quality data and live positions. A trader running coffee in one region and cocoa in another can ask her a question and get an answer grounded in real data, not a generic guess.

That answer comes from inside the system, without anyone leaving CommOS or rebuilding a position in a spreadsheet. The complexity of agricultural trading does not go away, but it stops landing on your team one export at a time.

Traceability & provenance

An audit trail that writes itself.

  • Trace inventory back to the farm or gin, with a complete record of all physical movements, transformations, and processing across your operations.
  • Manage mass-balance credits, including Better Cotton Claim Units (BCCUs), Rainforest Alliance and other schemes, alongside a full physical Chain of Custody.
  • Supplier certificate management linked to each lot includes expiry reminders, so nothing ships out of date.
  • Emissions and regulatory reports, including EUDR and CBAM, can be created instantly and with a full audit trail.

In their words

What our clients say

With Gen10 we have passed from a rigid structure to a dynamic one in a real-time environment and this is helping us to see true value of a contract during all of its lifespan and exhibit our real exposure.

Loic Nordmann Cocoa Trader, Baronie

They understand the workflows with cotton and the bale identification numbers and follow all that. We thought the system was very well laid out, but the specifics for cotton was what really attracted us.

Ben Carrigan Brighann Cotton

With its contract entry, logistics & shipping and position management functionalities, CommOS has streamlined and synergised our workflows and our office operations. All of our teams are now beginning to operate in exactly the same way, which then enables us to obtain accurate and comprehensive management information and reports.

Soft commodities, since the first sample.

Gen10 was founded by a cotton trader. A quarter-century of work with the likes of Louis Dreyfus and Cargill, and with bodies including CSITC, the USDA and ICAC, sits behind every workflow. From the first sample to the final settlement, that experience is built into the Commodity Management System your team use every day.
