Discover the one tool that seamlessly and comprehensively supports trade execution.
Trade LCM is a powerful tool that delivers digital, integrated, effective trade management for companies in commodities trading and processing. Delivered as software-as-a-service, it enables commodity traders to easily manage the entire commodity trade lifecycle, all through a single integrated interface. Thanks to Trade LCM, every team member can rely on consistent data to set up contracts, execute trades, arrange for shipping, and control payments.
The problem with trade management is that Commodity traders use everyday tools including Excel to manage and execute contracts, so traders can’t consistently manage the contract lifecycle and risks. It means little end-to-end visibility into contracts and no single version of the truth, draining resources as even basic reporting requires a lot of work.
How Trade LCM solves trade challenges
Trade LCM helps you to manage trade more effectively so that you can time the market right and avoid outsize losses.
Accurate inputs and reporting improve financials
Efficient execution reduces overheads and improves contracts performance
Transparency for better risk management and cash flow
The Challenge
Commodity traders use everyday tools including Excel to manage and execute contracts, which means:
- Traders can’t consistently manage the contract lifecycle and risks
- Little end-to-end visibility into contracts and no single version of the truth
- Resources are drained because even basic reporting requires a lot of work
- Information is easily lost if a key employee leaves
The Outcome
Poor market timing and outsize losses due to ineffective contract management:
- Inadequate reporting and inaccurate inputs equal disappointing financials
- Inefficient execution hits overheads and causes contract underperformance
- Limited transparency means poor risk management
- Lack of control over the payment process and unpredictable cash flow
An integrated toolset to maintain efficiency and accuracy - from setup to execution, from shipment to treasury.
