INDUSTRIES & USE CASES

Configured for your industry. From day one.

TransRisk is not a generic risk platform adapted for commodities. It was built specifically for organisations where commodity exposure is an operational reality — where procurement, processing, trading, and finance teams make commodity-influenced decisions every working day. The platform is configured to each client's industry, commodity mix, and business process.

Risk challenges

  • Multiple inter-related commodities with complex conversion ratios (CPO to PFAD, CPO to Olein)
  • Crushing and refining margins shift daily — difficult to track in real time across plants
  • Basis risk between physical procurement location and exchange-traded futures price

ALL INDUSTRIES

8 industries. 60+ commodities. One platform configured to each.

Each TransRisk deployment is configured for the specific commodity mix, instrument types, and reporting structure relevant to that industry. What every industry shares is a business model in which commodity prices directly drive margin, budget performance, and competitive position.

THE COMMON THREAD

Different industries. The same underlying problem.

Every industry TransRisk serves faces a version of the same challenge: commodity prices move, but data about those price movements — and their impact on margins, P&L, and risk — is scattered across ERP systems, broker statements, trading tools, and spreadsheets. By the time it is consolidated, it is already out of date.

The consequence is consistent across sectors: procurement decisions made without margin visibility, hedging decisions made without an accurate net exposure number, management reporting that takes more time to produce than the decisions it supports can wait for.

TransRisk solves this at the data layer first — consolidating position information from every source automatically — and then delivers the analytics that each industry and each function actually needs. The commodity mix changes. The instrument types change. The business logic changes. The platform is configured to each. The problem it solves does not change.

WHO BENEFITS

Who benefits — by function.

TransRisk is not a risk department tool that the rest of the organisation reads summaries from. It is a working platform for every function that makes decisions when commodity prices move. Each role gets the view appropriate to their accountability.

Function What they work from Key metrics
Procurement The structural margin a purchase locks in — before the order is confirmed, not in the monthly finance review MtS P&L · landed cost estimates · net exposure by commodity and supplier · budget variance
Hedging The consolidated net exposure a hedge should be sized against, updated daily Net unhedged exposure by commodity and maturity · hedge effectiveness · rollover risk · pre-trade impact
Trading desk The full risk picture before execution, including basis and rollover risk Real-time position and P&L · limit utilisation · pre-trade risk assessment · basis and rollover risk
Risk management The enforcement layer running itself, so the job shifts from building the report to acting on it Portfolio VaR and component breakdown · limit monitoring · scenario analysis · stress testing · audit trail
Finance / CFO A daily, auditable, position-level view across all four P&L measures Realised P&L by period · structural margin vs. budget · MtM and MtS P&L · closed position reconciliation
Executive / CXO A board-level summary that does not need a day of preparation behind it Enterprise exposure summary · margin vs. budget · limit utilisation · risk-to-policy comparison
Compliance & governance A complete, queryable record of how the book has behaved against policy Breach history and audit log · limit utilisation records · governance reporting for board or regulatory review

USE CASES

Six scenarios where TransRisk changes the outcome.

PROCUREMENT

Soyabean refining margin build-up — imported and home-consumption quantities and prices, customs duty, freight and refining cost resolved into refining, raw material, closed sales and replacement margin
Structural margin locked in by a purchase at today's forward price

Buy at the right price, not just at the available price.

A procurement manager at a palm oil refiner needs to decide whether to cover the next quarter's CPO requirement at today's forward price. TransRisk shows the structural margin that price locks in — using actual FIFO inventory costs, plant yield rates, and current forward sales — before the purchase is confirmed.

HEDGING

Plant-wise commodity net cash position — net exposure per commodity split across refineries and forward months, with an opening column and a running total per commodity
Net unhedged exposure by maturity, after netting physicals and derivatives

Size the hedge against the actual unhedged book.

A hedging team at a metals manufacturer needs to determine how much copper to hedge for Q3. TransRisk shows the net unhedged exposure by maturity — after netting all open physicals, committed purchases, derivative positions, and forward sales — so the hedge quantity is calculated from the real exposure, not a spreadsheet last updated three days ago.

TRADING DESK

Limit headroom — net open quantity charted against both the absolute and the dynamic quantity limit day by day, with commodity-wise MtM P&L, purchase and sale quantity and unit cost below
Pre-trade check — VaR impact and limit utilisation before executing

Know your limit headroom before you execute.

A trader wants to add a position in nickel. Before executing, TransRisk's pre-trade analysis shows the position's impact on portfolio VaR, the resulting limit utilisation across all relevant dimensions, and the change in net exposure. The trade proceeds with full risk visibility — or is sized differently to stay within policy.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Warning alert at 85% utilisation, days before the limit would be reached
Warning alert at 85% utilisation, days before the limit would be reached

Replace the weekly breach discovery with daily prevention.

A risk manager at a trading house currently discovers limit utilisation issues in the weekly report. With TransRisk, warning-level alerts fire when utilisation crosses 85% — giving the risk manager and desk head time to reduce the position before the limit is reached. Breaches that previously appeared in Friday's report are addressed on Tuesday before they become breaches.

FINANCE

Consolidated commodity P&L — quantity, unit cost, market price and P&L for every commodity in the book, reconciling to one all-commodities total
Consolidated commodity P&L, already reconciled, with position-level drill-down

Reconcile commodity P&L without the Monday consolidation exercise.

A finance team at an FMCG company currently spends Monday morning consolidating commodity P&L from procurement, trading, and operations before the management meeting. With TransRisk, the consolidated P&L — across all four measures — is available each morning, already reconciled, with position-level detail on drill-down. The Monday consolidation exercise disappears.

EXECUTIVE

Open Long and Short Position Statement — net open quantity per commodity against its quantity limit with raw material and refining MtM, over a per-commodity long, short and net breakdown
Portfolio VaR against board-approved policy limit, current as of this morning

Answer the board's commodity risk question in the meeting, not after it.

The CFO is asked in a board meeting: "What is our current commodity risk relative to the risk appetite the board approved?" With TransRisk's executive dashboard, the answer — portfolio VaR vs. policy limit, net exposure by commodity, structural margin vs. budget — is on the screen, current as of this morning, without anyone having prepared a separate briefing.
