Inventory Management for commodity traders
Know exactly what you hold, where it sits and what it is worth, at any moment. opsPhlo tracks every lot from purchase to delivery with quality, weights, location and live valuation, all linked to the contracts and positions behind it.
Real-time stock, valued the way traders think
Commodity inventory is more than a quantity on a shelf. Each lot carries a grade, a moisture or assay figure, a gross and net weight, a location, a cost basis and a contract it belongs to. opsPhlo holds all of that in one place, so your stock ledger and your trade book never drift apart.
Receive against purchase contracts, move goods between warehouses and production, allocate stock to sales, and watch balances and valuation update in real time. No overnight batch, no end-of-month spreadsheet reconciliation.
Everything you need to control physical stock
A complete inventory layer that speaks the language of physical commodity trade, built into the same system as your contracts, logistics and finance.
Lot and stack tracking
Track stock by lot, stack, bag, container or parcel, each with its own history, so you always know which goods moved and who authorised it.
Quality and grading
Capture grades, assays, moisture, count and other attributes against each lot, and trade on quality, not just quantity.
Gross and net weights
Manage tare, gross and net weights with weighbridge and tally support, and reconcile shipped against received with full variance visibility.
Multi-warehouse balances
See live balances across owned, third-party and in-transit locations, with one consolidated view of total holdings.
Live stock valuation
Value inventory at cost or at market in real time, feeding mark-to-market and your daily position with no manual rollups.
Traceability and audit
Follow goods from origin to delivery with a complete movement trail, supporting compliance, recalls and customer assurance.
Inventory that is wired into your trade book
Most ERPs treat inventory as a warehouse problem. For a trader it is a position problem. opsPhlo links every lot to the purchase that brought it in and the sale it is allocated to, so stock, exposure and margin move together.
- One real-time ledger across trading, logistics, inventory and finance.
- Receipts, transfers and deliveries post straight through to accounts.
- Unsold and unpriced stock surfaced on your position automatically.
- Total Cost of Operation less than one-fifth of traditional systems like SAP.
A better way to run commodity inventory
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.

Can opsPhlo track inventory by lot, grade and weight?
Yes. Stock can be tracked at lot, stack, bag, container or parcel level, each holding its own quality attributes (grade, assay, moisture, count) along with gross, tare and net weights and a full movement history.
Does inventory link to my contracts and positions?
It does. Receipts post against purchase contracts and stock is allocated to sales, so inventory, exposure and margin move together. Unsold and unpriced stock flows automatically into your position and mark-to-market.
Can we manage stock across multiple warehouses and entities?
Yes. opsPhlo gives live balances across owned, third-party and in-transit locations, consolidated into one view, and works across multiple legal entities where you trade through more than one.
Do inventory movements update our accounts automatically?
Receipts, transfers and deliveries post straight through to the integrated finance ledger, so stock valuation and your accounts stay in step in real time with no re-keying.
