Case Study: SGM Shipping Services achieves collaborative, automated Monte Carlo risk analysis and secure reporting with Visyond

Managing Logistics and Analyzing Risks with Monte Carlo Simulations

SGM Shipping Services, a Switzerland-based shipping and asset-management firm, needed a better way to collaborate on risk management and run Monte Carlo simulations for freight and fuel exposure. Their process relied on Excel add‑ons installed on every stakeholder’s machine, manual version tracking, and static PowerPoint updates — creating time-consuming setup, version chaos and data‑security risks. Visyond’s cloud platform (Monte Carlo, tornado and sensitivity analysis modules) was chosen to replace that fragmented workflow.

Visyond delivered an integrated, browser-based spreadsheet, simulation and dashboard environment that fits distributions from historical data, runs Monte Carlo analyses in a few clicks (e.g., 10,000-iteration runs) and auto-updates presentation-ready visuals. The result: no per‑machine installs, immediate availability of new assumptions for analysis, secure role/object-based sharing, and interactive dashboards that let stakeholders stress‑test scenarios without breaking the model — improving collaboration, reducing data‑leak risk and speeding decision-making. Visyond’s platform also produces traceable probabilistic outputs (min/max/mean and PDFs) to support confident value‑at‑risk management.
