Cloud4Commodities
Are you looking for the best support system for your commodity trading organization? Cloud4Commodities lets you control your trading processes from A to Z.
The Microsoft landscape with its variety of apps is one of the most complete and advanced application platforms available. The development department of Dynamic People took several of these applications and built their commodity trading layer on top. This resulted in Cloud4Commodities, an industry-recognized Microsoft-certified solution, which covers the full trading process from leads, inquiry and quotation phase to final invoice.
Full trading process covered
Trading companies are used to work internationally which result in complex VAT strategies, hedging of foreign currency positions and country specific legislation. This demands a system which can handle your product, country and customer-specific parameters and apply them automatically, the right way, on every deal. In today’s market a trader has to work lean-and-mean, and that makes good trading system critical.
The process starts within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales (CRM) where counterparties are onboarded via the Know Your Customer (KYC) module. Use the inquiry module to create a quotation which can result in a purchase or sales contract including cost calculations and initial forward deliveries. Different contract approval workflows can be setup using Microsoft PowerApps and after final approval the contract documents can be signed digitally.
All Finance and Backoffice processes are handled by the connected Microsoft ERP which is linked via a standard integration. Depending on the company size and complexity of the business processes either Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain management or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is chosen as ERP.
Microsoft PowerBI will bring all data together to ensure advanced analytical reporting. Our PowerBI reporting pack already contains many standard reports and additional reports can be created either by the customer themselves or by us.
