Know your position and P&L by contract, every day
opsPhlo runs the physical trade from contract to cash: contracts, shipments, hedges, stock and the accounts in one system. Built for commodity traders who have outgrown spreadsheets and an accounting package.
Built for traders who carry the book
For physical commodity traders who hold the contract, the shipment and the price risk on their own book. If any of these sound familiar, opsPhlo is worth 20 minutes.
The position lives in a spreadsheet and is only as current as the last person who touched it
P&L by contract is rebuilt by hand, so you find out what a cargo made weeks after it sailed
The accounting package holds invoices but not contracts, hedges or shipments
Month end takes days because the trading book and the ledger never agree first time
What changes with opsPhlo
One system for the desk, operations and finance, all working from the same numbers.
A position you can trust
Every purchase, sale, split cargo and price fixation updates the open position and the P&L by contract as it happens. No Monday rebuild.
Contract to cash in one record
The contract, its shipments, documents, letters of credit, invoices and payments sit on one trade record. Anyone can see where a deal stands.
Books that close faster
Trades post to a full multi-currency ledger as they happen, with provisional and final invoicing. Finance reconciles exceptions, not the whole book.
Hedges tied to the physical
Futures and FX hedges link to the contracts they cover, so hedge cover and exposure are shown by contract and by book, not worked out in a side sheet.
What is inside
From the contract you sign to the cash you collect
Contract management
Purchase, sale and back-to-back contracts. Fixed, priced-later and differential pricing. Multi-currency, multi-commodity, your own clauses.
Position and P&L
Open position by commodity, book and counterparty. Mark-to-market and realised P&L by contract.
Inventory
Lot tracking, quality, multi-warehouse stock and daily valuation, linked back to the contracts that bought and sold it.
Shipments and documents
Shipments, containers, bills of lading and certificates on the trade record, not scattered across inboxes.
Accounting
Full ERP accounting on Acumatica: AR, AP, GL, multi-currency, bank reconciliation and fixed assets in one ledger.
EDI and API
EDI with retailers' ordering and invoicing systems, SFTP automation and a REST API for anything we have not pre-built.
Your team runs it, not consultants
Changing a workflow or a report should not need a change request. opsPhlo is set up so your own people can.
Configured, not coded
Workflows, approvals, fields and commodity rules are set up through configuration, with role-based admin.
Your own reports
Trading, operations and finance build their own dashboards and exports. A REST API covers anything else.
Start with what you need
Begin with the modules that fix today's problem and add finPhlo or tradePhlo later on the same data. See how pricing works.
Hedges that follow the physical book
When a physical contract is priced, the exposure it creates should show up straight away. opsPhlo links futures and FX hedges to the contracts they cover and shows what is still open. Our team has engineered automated hedging for a US futures brokerage's grain platform, and that experience shapes how opsPhlo handles hedging.
