Case Study: EMETRA achieves streamlined cross‑platform metals trading and back‑office efficiency with OpenText Analytics

Emetra - Customer Case Study

EMETRA is a British marketplace for buying and selling non‑ferrous metals that serves automotive manufacturers across London, New York and Chile. Facing adverse market conditions and tight timescales, EMETRA needed to integrate its platform with cmXchange to create a cross‑platform marketplace and extend beyond front‑office trading into back‑office services like document handling and title transfer.

The team chose Actuate’s e.Spreadsheet Engine to provide Excel‑style, web‑based spreadsheet functionality (client‑side features and database writeback) capable of handling high volumes of XML, while eMiddleware’s Global Trading Platform supplied reusable components and a flexible development framework. The result was a successful, fast integration and launch of cross‑platform trading within a year, a streamlined web‑enabled document centre, and improved efficiency, scalability and competitive positioning.
