Commodity verticals, physical-first

System of record, trade to settlement

To go live — not years

Spreadsheets bridging the gaps
Legacy CTRM wasn't built for physical commodity complexity.
01
Spreadsheet chaos
Deals, shipments, and stock spread across dozens of Excel files — no single source of truth, and every number typed twice.
02
No real-time P&L
Margin and exposure are always last week’s number, assembled by hand from scattered tabs.
03
Inventory blind spots
Tank stock, batches, and quality data live outside the trading system entirely.
04
Slow trade documentation
Banks want clean letters of credit and shipping documents that take days to assemble manually.
An AI that works your trades — not just talks about them.
Trade intelligence
Create and update purchase orders, sales orders, invoices, and payments from a single natural-language instruction.
Document intelligence
Counterparties, quantities, prices, and terms extracted from broker emails and PDFs — turned into draft trades automatically.
Multi-channel capture
Inbound email, WhatsApp, and Telegram become structured trade records — the agent asks for anything missing.
AI copilot
Ask about trades, inventory, and shipments in plain English. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot through MCP.
Workflow automation
Event-driven automation chains orders to shipments, receipts, invoices, and payments — no manual handoffs.
Positions & exposure
Snapshot positions, track market prices, and net internal trades — exposure by commodity and counterparty in seconds.
One system for the whole trade lifecycle.
Trade Capture & Contracts
Capture every physical and financial deal in one place.
Physical Inventory & Storage
Real stock visibility across terminals, tanks, and batches.
Shipments & Logistics
Track every cargo from load port to delivery.
Costing, Invoicing & Settlement
True landed cost and margin on every trade.
AI Agent Automation
Create trades by typing — or let your inbox do it.
Tax, Compliance & Controls
Stay compliant across every jurisdiction you trade in.
Built for the commodities you trade.
