Commodity Traders

Veson Nautical’s IMOS provides functionality to address the complexity that commodity traders face with their marine operations. IMOS can treat transport as a cost center, profit center, or combination of the two.

The key IMOS module for commodity traders is Cargo Planning. This module enables companies to store purchase and sale contracts of cargoes. It can store details of a contract of affreightment (COA) as well as individual cargoes grouped under such a contract. Cargoes entered in this module can be attached to or used to initiate a Voyage Estimate and/or a Fixture Note.

The command center of Cargo Planning features a graphical display of the cargo units with status of offer, confirmed, in-fixture or in operation (charter). It can be used to enter open cargoes available on the market. Using the cargo match function, the open cargoes can be matched to open voyages for optimal revenue generation. In this case, it is the freight value of the cargo that concerns the user – the details of the cargo are not important.
 
IMOS can also seamlessly integrate with third party trading systems.
