Phlo Systems is pleased to announce a new partnership with Konexus Resources Group (KRG), a growing commodity trading and resources business, to accelerate KRG's digital transformation programme. Through this partnership, KRG will adopt opsPhlo, the modern modular Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, to bring its trading desk, risk function and finance operations onto a single, connected system.
The collaboration is designed to remove the operational friction that holds many mid market trading houses back: disconnected spreadsheets, manual reconciliation, delayed position visibility and finance teams working from data that is already out of date by the time it reaches them. By standardising on opsPhlo, KRG aims to give every team a shared, real time view of the business, from the first trade capture through to settlement and the general ledger.
Why KRG chose opsPhlo
Like many ambitious trading businesses, KRG had outgrown the patchwork of tools it relied on in its early years. Trade data lived in one place, risk calculations in another, and accounting in a third, with people stitching the pieces together by hand. That approach works at low volumes, but it becomes a brake on growth as deal flow, counterparties and commodities multiply.
opsPhlo was selected for a combination of reasons that matter to a scaling trader:
- A unified platform that brings trading, risk, logistics and finance together, so a single trade flows through the whole lifecycle without re keying.
- Real time position and exposure visibility, giving traders and risk managers a current picture rather than yesterday's snapshot.
- Built in financial management and multi entity accounting, removing the gap between the trading book and the official record.
- A modular design that lets KRG switch on the capabilities it needs now and add more as the business grows, without a disruptive replatform later.
- A modern cloud foundation, powered by Acumatica, that is fast to deploy and straightforward to maintain.
What the partnership delivers
The programme is structured to deliver measurable operational improvement rather than technology for its own sake. Working closely with the KRG team, Phlo Systems will configure opsPhlo around KRG's actual trading workflows, contract structures and reporting requirements, then migrate live data so the business runs on a single source of truth from day one.
One connected operating model
Trade capture, contract management, inventory and logistics, mark to market valuation, settlements and accounting will all sit inside one system. When a trade is booked, its impact on position, exposure, cash and the ledger is reflected automatically. That ends the daily ritual of exporting, merging and checking spreadsheets, and frees experienced people to spend their time on decisions rather than data wrangling.
Stronger risk control
With positions and exposures calculated continuously, KRG's risk function gains the timely, trustworthy numbers it needs to manage market, credit and operational risk with confidence. Clear limits, alerts and reporting help the business act early rather than discovering problems after the fact.
Faster, cleaner finance
Because the finance ledger is fed directly from trading activity, period close becomes quicker and reconciliation effort drops sharply. Multi entity accounting supports KRG's structure today and as it expands into new entities and markets, while accurate, current reporting strengthens conversations with banks, auditors and trade finance providers.
A shared view on digital transformation
Both organisations share a simple conviction: digital transformation in commodity trading is not about adding more tools, it is about removing the seams between them. Every handoff between systems is a place where errors creep in, where time is lost and where the business loses sight of its true position. The goal of this partnership is to close those seams.
For KRG, that means an operation that can scale deal volume without scaling headcount in the back office, that can onboard new commodities and counterparties quickly, and that can give leadership a dependable, real time picture of performance and risk. For Phlo Systems, it is another opportunity to prove that mid market traders deserve the same calibre of platform that the largest houses enjoy, delivered in a way that is practical, affordable and quick to value.
Looking ahead
The initial deployment focuses on unifying KRG's core trading and finance operations on opsPhlo, with a clear roadmap to extend into deeper analytics, additional reporting and further automation as the platform beds in. Because opsPhlo is modular, KRG can expand at its own pace, adding capability when the business is ready rather than committing to everything at once.
Phlo Systems looks forward to a long and productive partnership with Konexus Resources Group, and to supporting its growth with technology that makes the business faster, safer and easier to run. We will share progress and results as the programme advances.
