‘The Cloud’ – a lot of companies talk about the cloud. In most cases however, that merely implies that their systems are in the cloud and not on on-location servers. With Agiblocks, you can actually work from the cloud – 24/7, anywhere, on any device that has a browser. Why? Because we understand how important it is that you have quick access and get to keep up with all current and everyday developments in real-time and be able to check and adjust your position accordingly, whatever the situation may be.
“Imagine a world where you could trade commodities and manage your risk, any time and any place, with just a single click.”
Also, as true cloud pioneers, we were one of the first to do it. Agiblocks, our flagship CTRM software, can be made available in a classic server on site set up, sure, but as more and more clients have requested us to deliver it including the Microsoft Server and/or SQL platform (Platform as a Service) or in a hosted environment (Infrastructure as a Service), we started to provide whatever is needed. Each of these infrastructure services are tailored to specific client needs and, when hosted, are scalable to their changing needs.
We’ve started to offer all this in 2015, almost a decade ago. Imagine how things have improved since… However, that is not what this article is about. This one is aimed at the ‘operations people’, the ones with their boots on the ground in the commodity industry, who need to be able to check their statutes and positions on the go. Whereabouts are my outstanding deliveries? Are the right shipping documents uploaded yet? Is my risk sufficiently covered and my bet properly hedged? In other words, this one is about access in remote locations. For those in the industry that hold their office in planes, trains & automobiles rather than behind the company blinds. Because Agiboo brings something to the table that no other company does – including accessibility.
“Development of software solutions is dynamic, always – especially in our industry. You’re never done with developing. Agiboo gets that. We feel Agiblocks is future-proof for years to come, thanks to a modern development stack that is continually upgraded.”

The value of real-time
Real-time risk analysis and reporting enable better risk mitigation strategies. A proper CTRM software solution provides real-time data and analytics, which is essential for making informed decisions. What is also essential, is being able to access that wealth of information – anytime, anywhere.
The commodity trading industry is continuously evolving, and CTRM software must keep up with the changes to remain relevant. With the right development tools and practical experience, CTRM software can be automated to provide traders with the tools they need to remain competitive in an ever-changing market.

Risk mitigation on the go
Mitigating risks is crucial for successful commodity trading. A CTRM system empowers businesses with real-time market data, advanced analytics, and robust reporting capabilities. Armed with this information, you can better understand and manage risks associated with commodity trading. By monitoring price fluctuations, tracking market trends, and assessing portfolio performance, you can make informed decisions to hedge positions effectively and implement risk mitigation strategies. This proactive approach to risk management enhances your ability to navigate volatile markets and safeguard your profitability.
“The timely and enhanced reporting as well as the statistical reporting for analysis gave us a better understanding of our position for improved decision-making, in real-time.”
