opsPhlo for Risk Managers
See your true exposure the moment the market moves. opsPhlo gives risk managers real-time positions, mark-to-market and stress views across physical, futures, options and FX, all in one system instead of a tangle of spreadsheets.
Exposure lives in spreadsheets, and so does the risk
When positions sit in workbooks that are stitched together by hand each morning, your risk view is always one step behind the market. A single broken formula, a stale price feed or a missing hedge leg can hide a real exposure until it is too late to act on it.
opsPhlo replaces that fragile chain with one live source of truth. Physical contracts, paper positions, FX and financing all roll up automatically, so the number on your screen is the number that is actually open in the market right now.
From morning reconciliation to live oversight
opsPhlo is built so the risk function spends its time on judgement, not on rebuilding the position from scratch every day.
- See net and gross positions update in real time as contracts and trades are booked.
- Mark every position to market against live or imported price curves, with full audit trail.
- Match physical exposure to its hedge and surface any unhedged tonnage at a glance.
- Track counterparty, credit and FX exposure alongside market risk in one place.
- Set limits by commodity, desk, counterparty or entity and get alerted on breaches.
- Produce board and bank ready risk reports at the click of a button, not after a day of collation.
The risk toolkit, integrated end to end
opsPhlo brings position keeping, valuation and exposure management together with the trading and finance data they depend on, so your risk picture is complete and current.
Real-Time Positions
Net and gross positions across physical, futures, options and FX, recalculated as each trade and contract is booked.
Mark-to-Market
Value open positions against live or imported curves, with realised and unrealised P&L and a clear valuation trail.
Hedge & Coverage
Link physical exposure to its paper hedge and instantly see what is covered, over-hedged or running open.
VaR & Stress Views
Quantify market risk and run scenarios on price, basis and FX shocks so you understand the downside before it arrives.
Limits & Alerts
Configure exposure, credit and counterparty limits by desk, commodity or entity, with breach alerts in real time.
Risk Reporting
Generate position, M2M, exposure and P&L reports for the board, banks and auditors, and export the underlying data freely.
One data flow, from trade to exposure
Capture at source
Contracts, trades, shipments and FX are booked once in opsPhlo, so risk reads the same data the trade and finance teams work from.
Value continuously
Live and imported price curves drive mark-to-market and exposure the moment positions or prices change, with no overnight batch to wait for.
Control with limits
Limits and approvals are built into the workflow, so breaches are caught as positions are taken, not discovered after the fact.
Report with confidence
Every number on a risk report traces back to a booked transaction, giving you a defensible audit trail for boards, banks and auditors.
Why a system beats the workbook
I can see our open position and mark-to-market at any moment, not just at the end of the day. When the market moves, I know exactly where we are exposed and what is already hedged, and I can put a report in front of the board in minutes.
Risk-grade insight without enterprise-grade cost
opsPhlo is modular, so you can start with the position and mark-to-market view your risk team needs most and add limits, VaR and reporting depth over time. A quick go-live (MVP) gets a credible risk picture in place in weeks, not the years a full traditional rollout demands.
Because it runs in the cloud and is powered by Acumatica, opsPhlo delivers a Total Cost of Operation less than one-fifth of traditional systems like SAP, with no heavy capital outlay. You get institutional-quality risk oversight at a cost that fits a growing trading house.

Risk manager questions, answered
What risk measures does opsPhlo provide?
opsPhlo covers net and gross positions, mark-to-market, realised and unrealised P&L, hedge coverage, exposure by commodity, counterparty and entity, plus value-at-risk and scenario stress views, all driven from the same live trade and contract data.
Can it value physical and paper positions together?
Yes. opsPhlo brings physical contracts, futures, options and FX into a single position and links each physical exposure to its hedge, so you can see net market risk and any unhedged tonnage in one place.
How does opsPhlo handle limits and breaches?
You can set exposure, credit and counterparty limits by desk, commodity or legal entity. Limits are checked as positions are taken and breaches raise real-time alerts, so control is built into the workflow rather than reviewed after the event.
We rely on spreadsheets today. How hard is it to move?
opsPhlo is built for rapid, modular go-live. Most risk teams start with position keeping and mark-to-market, get a live risk view in weeks, then add limits, VaR and reporting depth over time, so you are not waiting on a multi-year programme to retire the workbooks.
