Trading platform

Trading, connected.

Price moves fast. Your paperwork should too.

Contracts, shipments, documentation, letters of credit, hedging and settlement on one platform — so contract margin is known before the documents are even presented.

The trade cycle

The margin is real. The leakage is administrative.

Contract, shipment, documents and settlement on one record — so a discrepancy is caught before the bank finds it, not after.

The trading platform

Capabilities, grouped the way a trading house runs.

Four domains, each opening onto a dedicated page with its own workflow, capabilities and connected modules.

Contract margin

The spread is not the margin.

Freight, finance cost, insurance, survey, demurrage and agency costs accrued against the contract from the day it is signed — so the trader knows the real number before the deal closes.

01
Price build
Purchase price, costs and target margin.
02
Contract
Buy and sell terms, tolerance and Incoterm.
03
Cost accrual
Every known cost booked to the contract.
04
Finance cost
Days of exposure costed at the facility rate.
05
Actual
Invoices matched against the accrual.
06
Contract P&L
Closed margin by trade, desk and counterparty.

Documentary compliance

Catch the discrepancy before the bank does.

Documents built from the contract, checked against the letter of credit terms before presentation — because a discrepant presentation converts a sight payment into a negotiation.

01LC terms — captured as a structured checklist, not a PDF
02Documents — generated from contract and shipment data
03Check — each document tested against every LC clause
04Correction — discrepancies fixed before presentation
05Presentation — presented clean, paid at sight

Operations and finance

One platform. Operations feed finance directly.

Contracts, shipments and trade finance feed financial data directly — so contract profitability and counterparty exposure are live figures, not month-end analysis.

Trading houses win on speed of decision and lose on documentation cycles. The margin is made in minutes and given back over the weeks it takes to present a clean set of documents.
