Our first few customers are agriculture based. Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa and more things like this that have similar distribution supply chains.

We believe we have the tools and expertise to expand to energy and metal in the future. They are much different, but we believe with the tools we have developed, they can be repurposed quickly to support a wide range of commodities.

I used to trade those products, but futures only. It sounds like this is software for physical traders, so I can't offer much in the way of feedback, but wish you luck. A question based on my past experience: are you required to report transactions on your platform, and if not, would you publish some aggregated data anyway?

Just curious because I always heard physical volume was always several orders of magnitude smaller than futures (for good reasons!) and was curious in which commodities that was most true.

Today we are not doing transactions on our platform.

Today our tools come into use immediately after a contract is closed and handed off to operations.

It gives a single place for traders and operations people to view and manage their shipments and related documents.

Interesting, and makes sense. Good luck with it.
