FINTRADE is a powerful solution that enables the simple and swift manipulation of typical trading transactions,
especially within the soft commodities and energy markets, including biofuels, oil and gas. Its workflow closely follows
the lifecycle of a deal, from the contractual phase to the execution phase before finally producing the accounting
and financial reporting. Specific functions include:
Physical contracts
Enables the comprehensive management and tracking of physical contracts. By matching sales and purchases it provides an up-to-date view of the profitability of each operation, so you can control of the overall risk exposure throughout the lifecycle of the transaction.
Derivatives
Handles Futures contracts, Swap and Options, so these derivative contracts can be linked to physical contracts and evaluated daily in the global position report.
Logistics
Ensures the complete traceability of commodity items and helps organise the logistics of delivery. The profitability of the operation can then be accurately reconciled by profit centre, in the balance sheet and against the budget.
Collateral Management
Provides a solution that meets the individual requirements of both banks and regulators; enabling a framework of credit lines and approval levels to be defined by client and facilitates the tracking of the movement of goods from source to destination, including full traceability of the operation with the complete history of the status of the goods, the documentation and approvals.
Trade finance
Provides the information necessary to evaluate the best ways of financing an operation, so you can minimise the overall risk and cost of the transaction. It also supports the Swift format (MT7xx), so data can be directly imported.
Invoicing
Automatically generates invoices as well as all other required documents and predefined accounting entries. It can also automatically generate the broker commission, credit insurance premium and intercompany transactions or advance payments reduction.
Risk management
Prices all floating price contracts and marks to market all contracts, based on the latest market prices stored in the database. It also issues a risk report showing the daily exposure to the different markets.
