Commodity companies typically face challenges when dealing with the complexity of the physical logistics associated with their commodity products. Supply management software helps manage the physical logistics for any commodity, whether it travels by wire, pipeline, tanker, barge, rail or truck, and is critical to the profitability of a company’s transaction lifecycle. In order to optimize operations, companies seek to have front- to back-office workflow, from physical and financial deal capture through to risk position reporting, logistics, settlement and accounting, in their physical commodity logistics and scheduling tools.
