Hard & Soft Commodities 3PL Warehousing: Optimising Stock Traceability, Ownership, Storage, Handling & More

 
 
Bulk Hard Commodities such as aluminium, zinc, copper, nickel, lead and Bulk Soft Commodities such as coffee and cocoa all pose unique storage and handling challenges. Often, they can be store loose, bagged, palletised, crated can be stored indoors or secure outside storage sites, and usually involve a number of value added services such as bonded warehousing, cutting, customs formalities etc.
 
 
 While hard commodities can be stored off exchange, more often they are placed on exchange with the LME or CME. Our software adheres to the strict security requirements both exchanges require as well as being widely accepted by the major international banks and insurance companies. On the soft commodity side our software enables users to offer a collateral management service by providing the highest level of information and documentation to financiers.
 
In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software is used to produce warrants and for non-warrantable commodities we provide warehouse receipts to provide owners with a document of possession for internal purposes and/or to facilitate pledging of the materials under financing agreements.
