Unlock the value of your commodity asset network
Realize the value of balancing commodity market risk and return

The commodities industry is experiencing a surge in both complexity and scale. Shifting global economic conditions are creating new and promising opportunities―but may also present potential risks. International trading houses, whether dealing in energy, metals, or soft commodities, should consider expanding their influence and control over supply chains. Meanwhile, organizations with natural exposure and asset networks to manage commodities are seeking to extract more value from their operations.
With the anticipation of stricter regulations, financial constraints, price fluctuations, emerging resource nationalism, and intense competition, the ability to adapt and stay agile has become more critical than ever.
The gamechanger? Finding operating models, processes, and supporting data and technology that provide both transparency and the ability to capitalize on commodity flow for the enterprise.
Challenges
- Inadequate operating model to help empower decision-making authority and enhance commodity flow
- Siloed organizational structures that limit visibility and communications across the commodity value chain
- Untimely, nonstandard, and poor-quality data for critical factors of the commodity value chain (e.g., transactions, prices, inventory, transportation, financial derivatives, risk)
- Lack of process and financial controls to safely capitalize on risk prevention opportunities
Potential Benefits
- Increased financial performance via the ability to enhance commercial decision-making across internal asset networks and external market participation
- Improved cost of capital through increased control and understanding of risk and financial results
- Reduced costs powered by resource efficiency gains and process automation
- Improved control due to enhanced governance frameworks and monitoring capabilities
