Eka provides traders, processors, importers, merchants and exporters with a complete, comprehensive solution for managing their soft commodities operations. The solution covers the complete life cycle of both physical and financial commodity contracts, covering physical trading, derivatives, position management, mark to market and PnL, logistics, stocks, documentation, finance and reporting. In addition, it easily integrates with your other applications (accounting, ERP, live feeds, master data, etc), thereby creating the ideal real-time solution for your company.

Our rich experience in the soft commodities space has helped us identify and integrate the nuances of each soft commodity group into the application. This means that whether you deal in coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, cotton or orange juice, the highly configurable solution fully incorporates the individual requirements of each commodity for physical trading, pricing, packaging, position reporting, transportation, storage, derivatives as well as risk management. Therefore, with Eka, you can reap the benefits of a single, unified platform without any compromise on functionality.

For instance, for the coffee trade, Eka helps you easily manage the complexities involved with large volumes of containerized cargo, across a large number of grades, spread across multiple origins. Positions can be consolidated and viewed, based on origins and “main types”, thereby allowing easier analysis and control, and exposure reports per origin provides for effective risk management.

For cocoa products – liquor, butter, oil, etc - you can enter cocoa ratios, and price them against London or New York. Position reporting is consolidated based on cocoa beans equivalent quantities, and currency books maintained.

For sugar, Eka helps you manage cargo movement by both vessel and containers, captures polarization premiums and helps you calculate contract pricing accordingly. Moreover, Eka’s highly configurable mark-to-market solution allows you to accurately value the same commodity differently based on different market zones, locations and cargo shipment statuses.

Furthermore, Eka can effectively control the flow and management of data across different desks, office locations and profit centers. In other words, senior management can get a global perspective of the entire business across commodities, whereas line managers can have selective access relevant to their operations.

EKA’s CTRM solution has been deployed successfully by global trading and processing organizations, helping them to effectively manage risks while bringing operational efficiency in day-to-day operations.
