Bid and ask curves
Price curves per material and purity grade, built from your executed trades rather than a vendor index.

How it works
From an executed trade to a tracked shipment
Your own trades become a price reference, and every shipment stays visible.
- 01
Normalise the trades
Executed trades are normalised to a common incoterm so a CIF and an FOB price can be compared.
- 02
Read the curve
Bid and ask curves per material and grade, with each point linked back to the trade behind it.
- 03
Plan the legs
Set the sea, road, rail or air legs of a shipment, with the required cargo readiness.
- 04
Track and alert
Live vessel positions and automatic readiness alerts flag a slip before it reaches the client.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the price curves come from?
From your own executed trades, normalised to a common incoterm. The reference price is your book, not a third-party index.
Which transport modes are tracked?
Sea, road, rail and air, as legs of a single shipment, with delivered, in-transit, scheduled and open volume per contract.
How current is vessel tracking?
Live AIS positions are held on a six-hour cache and shown against the shipments they carry.
What triggers a readiness alert?
Cargo-readiness tracking raises an alert automatically when a lot falls behind its schedule, so you hear about it early.
