## Products

Modules: trading, risk management, financial management, inventory, supply chain, order management, warehouse management, multi-entity accounting. Powered by Acumatica. Typically ~93% lower total cost than legacy CTRM implementations, live in weeks rather than 12-18 months.
- [opsPhlo Lite](https://opsphlo.com/lite): self-serve CTRM for small commodity trading desks (roughly £5M-£25M turnover, 1-5 users) and trade finance professionals. Builds the deal book from documents (drop a recap or broker offer; each extracted value shows its source and nothing files until confirmed). Merchandising position board (KPI tiles, by-commodity long/short, contract and futures blotters) derived from deals; futures and FX hedging with per-broker margin, projected margin calls, books/rolls/spreads and mark-to-market; risk analytics (VaR, CFaR, PFE, stress); basis MTM; KPIs and position limits; full letter of credit workbench (paste the MT700 off the clipboard, workability review against the contract, back-to-back mirror, draft-vs-issued, amendments rolled into effective terms, soft-clause flags, shipping-instructions-vs-credit gate, document examination with findings before presentation, drafts the amendment request); laytime and demurrage; port disbursement accounts; letter of indemnity register with live exposure; counterparty 360; deal templates; documents inbox with its own email address (forwarded paperwork ticks the deal's checklist); per-user view/edit access per function; invoices, generated documents, and banking with receipts auto-attributed to deals. Nothing is paywalled today: the premium feature set is deliberately empty. Known gaps (documented in the product manual): no sanctions/vessel screening, no freight module, prices entered by hand (no live feeds yet), options counted at full notional rather than delta-modelled, no wider ops dashboard yet.
