Case Study: VaRWorksPlus achieves optimized hedging and €480M Q1 sales uplift with ION

VaRworksPlus - Customer Case Study

VaRworksPlus, representing a $60 billion chemical producer operating in over 90 countries, struggled to manage illiquid commodity risk, unclear unwind horizons, and lack of visibility into potential losses across multiple portfolios. To specify profit‑at‑risk measures and bring transparency to complex physical transactions, the company turned to ION and its analytics offering (FEA’s VaRWorksPlus) for an advanced risk‑analysis platform.

ION implemented FEA’s VaRWorksPlus across multiple sites and 355 production facilities within two weeks, delivering liquidity‑ and profit‑adjusted risk calculations, predictive and prescriptive portfolio modeling, and expert Ph.D. analytical support. The rollout optimized hedging and trade positioning, scaled trader productivity and decision support, and helped drive a roughly €480 million increase in Q1 sales year‑over‑year.
