The Case of TradeCloud:
Digitalizing the Commodities Trading Industry
The technological leaps of the last decade have forced industries to rethink their long-term strategies and embrace digitization as the game-changer of the future. Leaders in commodities trading are prepping themselves for the next digital era that is rapidly approaching by seeking to become more agile and automating many of their activities and services.
The Challenge
Despite its global reach, Commodities Trading is still a low-tech, person-to-person relationship based industry. This hinders its efficiency and seriously compromises issues around compliance, putting trading houses at risk. Founded by senior leadership from Trafigura, TradeCloud set forth to become the next-generation digital metals communications platform and one of the first to reimagine commodity trading though a high-performance, cloud-based commodities trading communications system. The company is set to change the way the commodities community (producers, traders, consumers) communicate and connect them in an unprecedented way.
