Built by practitioners to digitise physical commodity trade
opsPhlo is a product by Phlo Systems. We build software for companies that trade physical goods across borders: the trading book and the accounts (opsPhlo), trade finance (finPhlo) and customs (tradePhlo).
Take the spreadsheets and re-typing out of international trade
A single shipment still passes through a trading spreadsheet, an accounting package, a customs broker, a forwarder and a bank, and the same data is typed again at every step. We are building one connected set of products so it is entered once.
opsPhlo is where the trade itself lives: contracts, hedges, stock, shipments and the general ledger. Phlo Systems was founded in 2017, is headquartered in London and is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.
One platform, built from the ground up for commodity trade
opsPhlo was built by senior developers and executives after years working inside the largest global trading houses. We have developed, implemented, managed and used these systems first hand, so we understand the realities of moving physical goods, hedging exposure and closing the books.
The result is a single system with a suite of flexible modules that can be configured to drive trade, supply chain and financial efficiencies. Powered by Acumatica, opsPhlo lets clients start with a quick go-live and add functionality over time, in line with business and operational priorities.

We build a workplace where people are trusted to do their best work, learn openly and treat one another as equals. These values shape how we build software and how we serve our clients.
Continuous Learning and Accountability
An environment where everyone is encouraged to learn and grow. Making mistakes is seen as an opportunity for improvement and innovation.
Respect and Equality
We value each individual's contributions, regardless of seniority or skill set. Mutual respect and equal treatment form the foundation of our team dynamics.
Collaboration and Support
A culture where seeking assistance and collaborating with colleagues is actively encouraged. We know that asking for help leads to better outcomes and collective success.
Flexible Time Off
We prioritise work-life balance and trust our people to manage their time. There is no rigid holiday calendar, just an emphasis on taking the breaks needed to recharge and stay well.
One record of the trade, shared across products
opsPhlo sits alongside finPhlo for trade finance and tradePhlo for customs. The three are designed around one record of the trade, so the data entered for a shipment serves the trading book, customs and finance without being typed again.
