Unlock efficiency by automating your commodity trading
Meet Commodity Link – our proven concept for automating and standardising order processes, bringing clarity to the chaos.
Are unstructured processes draining your time and resources?
System delays, manual steps and inefficiencies can hit your margins, increase risk, and slow down performance. Here are some of the challenges we can help you tackle:
Manual work raises operational risk
Outdated processes depend on manual tasks and fragmented communication – slowing workflows and increasing error rates.
Errors drain time and trust
Manual data entry and disconnected tools lead to avoidable mistakes that are slow to fix.
Lack of visibility delays decisions
Without real-time tracking, it’s hard to act quickly or align trades with market fluctuations.
Systems can’t cope with volume
High loads during market shifts often cause execution delays, missed trades, and added cost.
Poor timing eats into margins
Processing lags force trades at the wrong time, reducing profits and increasing risk.
Legacy systems slow progress
Older infrastructure is hard to integrate, harder to scale – and a barrier to efficiency and growth.
Bring structure and speed to your commodity trading
Commodity Link is a flexible, custom-built solution designed specifically for commodity trading. It’s not a rigid SaaS platform – it’s a proven concept built on our deep expertise, optimising and automating your unique processes in a way that’s tailored to your needs.
Structured order management with full trade context
The solution supports advanced order packages like One-Cancel-Other and time-linked trades, capturing details such as timestamps, pricing rules, execution strategies, and instruments. Ready-made templates for common order types streamline recurring workflows, and orders can be auto-generated from contracts.
Flexible editing with built-in control and traceability
The platform allows quick edits for non-critical changes and approval-based editing for execution-sensitive fields. Traders can approve or reject changes with full traceability. Users can also cancel unexecuted portions of partially filled orders.
Dedicated client and trader modules with end-to-end oversight
Clients manage orders and view execution history, trader comments and statuses. They can also clone previous packages. Traders use a centralised module with full execution visibility, priority inbox, batch selection, and tools to prepare or aggregate trades – especially when fulfilling exchange minimums.
Real-time execution monitoring and broker platform integration
Our solution integrates with broker platforms at three levels: manual, read-only, or full read/write. Traders can stage orders for execution, monitor partial fills in real-time, and use scheduled tasks to check status conditions and push updates.
Automated OTC price generation with full scheduling and validation
Using client-defined formulas and real-time input data, our solution calculates OTC product prices on a schedule. Prices are stored and validated against pre-set rules before publication. The engine supports multiple similar products simultaneously and is highly configurable for new listings.
Smart notification engine for internal and external comms
The platform sends real-time alerts for orders, modifications, execution changes, and errors via in-app updates, emails, and Microsoft Teams. Notifications dynamically update interfaces without reloads, and emails follow configurable templates.
How it works
From order to execution: a simplified flow
Order creation
A client or internal team member creates a comprehensive order package with all the necessary details.
Order review
The order is sent to the trading module, allowing traders to easily review and approve it.
Execution
Once approved, the trader executes the order, with the system automatically syncing data to the broker’s platform.
Real-time updates
Status updates and execution details are tracked and communicated to all relevant parties in real-time, keeping everyone in the loop.
Measurable impact – a case study in efficiency
Although formal metrics aren’t always available, the improvements we’ve seen for our clients speak for themselves. For one of the largest commodity traders in Europe, implementing a solution like Commodity Link reduced the time to process a single order from 5-6 minutes to under one. This represents a 5x acceleration in efficiency.
