Commodity Trade and Risk Management, built modern and modular
opsPhlo brings contracts, hedging, positions, mark-to-market and physical flow into one real-time system. Start with a quick go-live, then add functionality as your trading desk grows.
From contract to settlement, with risk visible at every step
Commodity desks still run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, broker statements and disconnected accounting. The result is stale positions, manual reconciliation and risk that is only clear after the fact. opsPhlo replaces that patchwork with a single source of truth for every physical and paper position.
Capture purchase and sales contracts, link them to inventory and logistics, hedge on futures, options and FX, and watch your exposure, mark-to-market and cashflow update in real time. Because opsPhlo is modular, you adopt the pieces you need first and extend over time, without a high-risk big-bang implementation.
- Physical and paper positions in one consolidated view
- Real-time mark-to-market and exposure reporting
- Hedge accounting that ties straight through to finance
Everything a trading desk needs to run physical and paper
opsPhlo CTRM is composed of flexible modules that configure to your commodities, contract terms and trade lifecycle, whether you run agricultural softs, metals and minerals or bulk goods.
Contract Management
Flexible purchase and sales contracts with quality, weight, pricing terms, premiums, discounts and pricing basis tracked through to execution.
Position Keeping
Live long and short positions across physical and futures, netted by commodity, period and book, so traders always know where they stand.
Hedging & Derivatives
Trade futures, options and FX, link hedges to physical exposure, and reconcile broker statements against your own records.
Risk Management
Mark-to-market, price exposure, VaR-style measures and counterparty limits, with risk reports refreshed in real time.
Inventory & Logistics
Track stock by lot, location and grade, manage shipments and warehouses, and connect contract to physical movement end to end.
Settlement & Finance
Invoicing, costs, financing and cashflow flow straight into integrated accounting, so trade results and the ledger never drift apart.
Built by practitioners who have run these desks
opsPhlo was built by senior developers and executives after years inside the largest global trading houses. We know where legacy CTRM falls short: long implementations, rigid designs and a cost of ownership that locks out everyone but the biggest players.
Our answer is a modular platform with a flexible implementation approach. Clients usually start with a focused MVP, go live quickly, prove the value, then layer in modules as priorities evolve. That keeps risk low, capital outlay minimal and the system aligned to how you actually trade.

At any time, with a glance, I am able to track cocoa beans transferred from the various warehouses to production. I know which stack was sent and who authorised it. I can generate reports at the click of a finger and export any data I want. The system is very user friendly.
