Case Study: Large Global Commodities Trading Firm goes live in 16 weeks with Eka CTRM

From Zero to a Billion Transactions in Weeks With Eka CTRM

Large Global Commodities Trading Firm needed to stand up grain trading operations in Europe before the next harvest season, with multiple locations across three geographies going live at the same time. With only six months to implement and an expected billion transactions during harvest, they needed a robust CTRM system from Eka that would avoid the risks and delays of a heavily customized solution.

Eka implemented its cloud-based CTRM platform using pre-configured, plug-and-play apps for Physical Trades, Derivatives, Accounting, Logistics, Inventory, Position and Mark-to-market, P&L Explained, and VAR. The firm went live in 16 weeks, choosing Eka in December 2017 and being operational by May 2018, delivering a faster and lower-cost implementation while enabling a flexible, scalable trading operation ready for the June harvest.
