For concentrates

Manage the complexity and optionality of concentrates trading. Give trading teams all the information they need, automate manual tasks and gain visibility and control.

Automate manual tasks

Use workflow-based process automation to manage declaration cut-offs, generate shipping documents, create tasks and deadlines, and improve governance processes.

Control assays with greater optionality

Price all assays independently within one contract. Automate calculations for premiums and discounts, wet/dry weights, average pricing and composite curves for futures and interest – all automatically recalculating after inspections or contract changes.

Manage inventory and contracts

Keep track of your inventory positions around the world, and reconcile with your warehouse reports automatically. Match contracts easily to optimise your inventories and credit lines. Closely tied with your trade finance requirements, securely streamline your release requests and transfer of title.

Report live events

Automatically populate risk reports, MTM and P&L as the situation changes, with live reporting for real-time, accurate data sharing. Use inventory data and visualisation tools for forward planning and analyse positions in real-time as markets fluctuate.

“The key items that stood out were the workflow engine, the calendar functionality that shows clearly what step in the booking, operations and finance process are outstanding and the automatic generation of invoicing. This is in addition to the core CTRM functionality which is also very rich.”
