For the trader: capture the deal, see the position, know the P&L

Stop running your book across disconnected spreadsheets and screens. opsPhlo gives traders one real-time view of contracts, positions, hedges, mark-to-market and cashflow, so you can act on the market with confidence instead of chasing reconciliations.

The trader's reality

Your edge is speed and clarity. Your tools should not slow you down.

A trader's day moves between buyers, sellers, brokers, prices and exposure that shifts by the minute. Yet too often the book lives in a maze of spreadsheets, email threads and standalone tools that disagree with each other by the time you reconcile them.

opsPhlo brings deal capture, physical and paper positions, hedging, mark-to-market and settlement into one system, so the number you act on is the number that is true. Less time stitching data together, more time trading.

Capabilities that matter to traders

Everything the desk needs, in one platform

opsPhlo combines modern, modular CTRM with full ERP, built by practitioners who have traded, implemented and run these systems inside global trading houses.

Fast deal capture

Record purchase and sale contracts with quality, premiums, pricing basis and terms in a few clicks, ready for operations downstream.

Live position and exposure

Net long and short by commodity, grade, location and period, physical and paper combined, refreshed in real time.

P&L and mark-to-market

Realised and unrealised P&L with M2M valuation that moves with the market, so you always know where the book stands.

Hedging and risk

Link futures, options and FX to the physical book, track basis and flat price, and manage exposure across the desk.

Logistics and inventory link

Contracts flow straight into shipment, warehouse and inventory tracking, so the physical follows the trade automatically.

Reports at a glance

Trader dashboards and exportable reports for positions, P&L and exposure, ready when you need them, no spreadsheet rebuild.

Front to back, one book

From your deal ticket to settled cash

01

Trade

Capture the contract, see the position move and price your exposure, all in the same screen you live in every day.

02

Hedge

Place and link paper trades to the physical book, watch basis and flat price, and keep the desk inside its limits.

03

Operate

Operations inherit a clean contract for logistics, inventory and documents, with no re-keying and no version drift.

04

Settle

Invoicing, costs, financing and accounting flow through the integrated ERP, so the back office closes against the same numbers.

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.

FAQs

Questions traders ask

Can opsPhlo show my net position and P&L in real time?

Yes. opsPhlo nets physical and paper positions by commodity, grade, location and tenor, and values the book with mark-to-market that updates as prices move, so realised and unrealised P&L are always current.

Does it handle hedging on futures, options and FX?

It does. You can record paper trades and link them to the physical book, follow basis and flat price, and manage exposure across the desk alongside the contracts they hedge.

We run our book on spreadsheets today. How hard is it to move?

opsPhlo is modular and built for rapid deployment. Most desks start with a quick go-live (an MVP focused on deal capture, position and P&L) and add functionality over time, so you replace spreadsheets in steps rather than in one risky cut-over.

Will operations and finance see the same numbers I do?

Yes. Because CTRM and ERP are integrated, a captured contract flows into logistics, inventory, invoicing and accounting. Everyone works from one book, with no re-keying between teams.
