Case Study: Integrated Metal Producer Company achieves streamlined hedging, real-time risk management and increased sales with Brady Plc

Streamlining hedging and risk management processes to increase sales and profitability

Integrated Metal Producer Company was struggling with spreadsheet-driven, manual hedging and risk processes that produced inaccurate positions, unreliable P&L, no centralised data or SAP interface, and limited ability to offer flexible pricing and scale sales of value‑added products. After evaluating CTRM vendors for metals, the company selected Brady Plc and its trading and risk management (CTRM) solution to replace the legacy platform and automate portfolio, position and counterparty management.

Brady Plc implemented its Brady solution to deliver real-time position visibility, automated broker reconciliation, mark‑to‑market, margin calculations and a seamless SAP interface. The result was a jump in annual hedged tonnage from 300,000 to 1.5 million tonnes, ROI within one year, management reports reduced from two days to seconds, average savings of about 10 minutes per transaction and half a day per broker roll, plus significantly lower input errors, reduced operational risk and greater pricing flexibility (M-1 to M+5) that supported higher traded volumes.
