Save Time & Money with Commodity Desk

If you buy, make or sell commodities in the metals, chemicals or agriculture market, then you know how powerful it is to have accurate commodity data and forecasts at your fingertips. Great commodity data and forecasts empower purchasing and sales teams to negotiate and ensure that price negotiations and planning move forward in your favour. Many firms struggle to make commodity sales or purchasing decisions for even the most common commodity products, like crude oil, steel, aluminium. And their teams are feeling the pinch.

As per Oliver Wyman, the commodity spend represents up to a whopping 70% of the revenue for major industries. McKinsey estimates an annualized volatility of up to 20%, with annual price swings of up to 70% of that year’s average price indicating an extreme uncertainty of earnings in the above industries. This volatility eats away the margins of several companies buying or selling commodities.

To solve these challenges, we’re excited to announce "Commodity Desk" - a powerful new NoCode AI product built for you. Commodity Desk enables you with a single source of truth as well as AI-powered predictive analytics & forecasts that ensure you and your team can negotiate with confidence.
