INDUSTRIES & USE CASES
Configured for your industry. From day one.
TransRisk is not a generic risk platform adapted for commodities. It was built specifically for organisations where commodity exposure is an operational reality — where procurement, processing, trading, and finance teams make commodity-influenced decisions every working day. The platform is configured to each client's industry, commodity mix, and business process.
See Your Industry DemoIndustry-specific configurations
Auto & Auto Components
Industrial metals · Rubber · Plastics
Risk challenges
- Raw material cost volatility directly impacts margins on long-term OEM contracts
- Hedge performance is tracked separately from procurement — no single P&L view
- Management needs exposure by plant, by component, by quarter simultaneously
How TransRisk solves this
- Commodity-to-end-product conversion: view copper risk as wiring harness cost risk
- Four P&L measures including Margin P&L aligned to OEM pricing cycles
- Plant-level dashboard with drill-down to individual purchase orders
Edible Oils & Oilseeds
Crushing · Refining · Procurement
Risk challenges
- Multiple inter-related commodities with complex conversion ratios (CPO to PFAD, CPO to Olein)
- Crushing margins shift daily — difficult to track in real time across plants
- Basis risk between physical procurement location and exchange-traded futures price
How TransRisk solves this
- By-product and co-product conversion rules built into the exposure engine — configure once, auto-converts daily
- Margin Analytics module tracks crushing margin P&L daily across all plants simultaneously
- Basis risk quantified within the VaR framework — included in the portfolio risk number
Rubber & Tyre
Plantations · Processing · Manufacturing
Risk challenges
- Multiple natural rubber grades have different price dynamics — grade-level exposure tracking needed
- Tyre manufacturers need hedge performance tracked against production schedule and OEM commitments
- Plantation companies need visibility from farm purchase through shipment to final sale
How TransRisk solves this
- Grade-level exposure engine — track RSS 3 separately from SMR 20 in the same portfolio
- Shipment-wise P&L tracking from purchase through production to sale
- What-if simulation: model hedging different proportions of forward production before committing
FMCG & Consumer Goods
Procurement · Supply chain · Margin management
Risk challenges
- Consumer price commitments create long-term fixed-cost raw material exposure across multiple commodities simultaneously
- Procurement, finance and supply chain teams all need different views of the same risk data
- Multiple raw materials with different hedging liquidity — some hedgeable, some not
How TransRisk solves this
- Multi-commodity portfolio exposure in a single dashboard — all commodities consolidated with drill-down to individual procurement lots
- Role-specific dashboards: procurement sees exposure · finance sees P&L · management sees limit utilisation
- Separate P&L tracking for hedgeable vs. un-hedgeable exposure — clear accountability at each level
Metals & Mining
LME · COMEX · Exotic derivatives
Risk challenges
- Exotic instruments (Asian options, collars, barriers) require complex VaR calculations that generic systems cannot handle
- Multi-location inventory creates a complex net exposure picture across warehouses and entities
- Regulatory and audit requirements demand documented, reproducible risk methodology
How TransRisk solves this
- Full exotic derivatives support: Asian, Barrier, Collar, Digital options — all priced and included in VaR
- Location-level exposure consolidation with drill-down to individual inventory lots
- Documented VaR methodology with backtesting reports on LME commodities — audit-ready output
Commodity Trading Houses
Multi-commodity · Multi-desk · Multi-entity
Risk challenges
- Multiple trading desks with independent books need a consolidated portfolio risk view that updates automatically
- Limits need to be enforced across desks, traders and instruments simultaneously — not monitored manually
- Senior management needs a single-screen overview of the entire book without drilling through individual desk reports
How TransRisk solves this
- Multi-desk, multi-trader portfolio consolidation — all books visible in the Management Dashboard with full drill-down available
- Automated limit alerts across all dimensions simultaneously: desk · trader · commodity · market
- Strategy Cockpit gives senior management one-screen portfolio overview updated automatically each morning
ALL INDUSTRIES
13 industries. 30+ commodities. One platform configured to each.
Each TransRisk deployment is configured for the specific commodity mix, instrument types, and reporting structure relevant to that industry. What every industry shares is a business model in which commodity prices directly drive margin, budget performance, and competitive position.

THE COMMON THREAD
Different industries. The same underlying problem.
Every industry TransRisk serves faces a version of the same challenge: commodity prices move, but data about those price movements — and their impact on margins, P&L, and risk — is scattered across ERP systems, broker statements, trading tools, and spreadsheets. By the time it is consolidated, it is already out of date.
The consequence is consistent across sectors: procurement decisions made without margin visibility, hedging decisions made without an accurate net exposure number, management reporting that takes more time to produce than the decisions it supports can wait for.
TransRisk solves this at the data layer first — consolidating position information from every source automatically — and then delivers the analytics that each industry and each function actually needs. The commodity mix changes. The instrument types change. The business logic changes. The platform is configured to each. The problem it solves does not change.

WHO BENEFITS
Who benefits — by function.
TransRisk is not a risk department tool that the rest of the organisation reads summaries from. It is a working platform for every function that makes decisions when commodity prices move. Each role gets the view appropriate to their accountability.
PROCUREMENT
The buying decision and the hedging decision are inseparable when commodity prices are volatile. TransRisk shows what structural margin a purchase locks in, what MtS P&L looks like against open sales commitments, and how the new purchase changes net exposure — before the purchase is confirmed, not in the monthly finance review.
MtS P&L · landed cost estimates · net exposure by commodity and supplier · budget variance
HEDGING
Hedge sizing without an accurate net exposure number produces over-hedging, under-hedging, or both simultaneously. TransRisk provides the consolidated net exposure that hedging decisions should be based on — updated daily, segmented by commodity, plant, forward month, and instrument type.
Net unhedged exposure by commodity and maturity · hedge effectiveness · rollover risk · pre-trade impact
TRADING DESK
Speed and accuracy depend on having the full risk picture before execution. TransRisk gives traders real-time visibility into their own positions, limit utilisation, and the risk impact of a proposed trade — before it is executed. Basis risk and rollover risk are visible alongside the net position.
Real-time position and P&L · limit utilisation · pre-trade risk assessment · basis and rollover risk
RISK MANAGEMENT
TransRisk automates the enforcement layer: limits are defined, utilisation is tracked, breaches trigger notifications, and the audit trail is maintained without manual intervention. The risk manager's job shifts from building the morning risk report to acting on what it shows.
Portfolio VaR and component breakdown · limit monitoring · scenario analysis · stress testing · audit trail
FINANCE / CFO
Commodity P&L is one of the most volatile and least transparent lines in a manufacturer's accounts. TransRisk gives finance teams a daily, auditable, position-level view across all four P&L measures — replacing the end-of-month reconciliation with a continuous reporting capability.
Realised P&L by period · structural margin vs. budget · MtM and MtS P&L · closed position reconciliation
EXECUTIVE / CXO
Board-level commodity risk reporting requires a summary that is accurate, timely, and does not depend on a finance team spending a day preparing it. TransRisk's executive dashboard shows net exposure, margin status, VaR relative to policy, and limit utilisation — daily, without manual preparation.
Enterprise exposure summary · margin vs. budget · limit utilisation · risk-to-policy comparison
COMPLIANCE & GOVERNANCE
Every limit breach is logged with a time stamp. Every notification is recorded. Every position change that preceded a breach is traceable. Compliance teams have a complete, queryable record of how the book has behaved against policy — without reconstructing it from emails and spreadsheets after the fact.
Breach history and audit log · limit utilisation records · governance reporting for board or regulatory review
USE CASES
Six scenarios where TransRisk changes the outcome.
PROCUREMENT
Buy at the right price, not just at the available price.
A procurement manager at a palm oil refiner needs to decide whether to cover the next quarter's CPO requirement at today's forward price. TransRisk shows the structural margin that price locks in — using actual FIFO inventory costs, plant yield rates, and current forward sales — before the purchase is confirmed.
HEDGING
Size the hedge against the actual unhedged book.
A hedging team at a metals manufacturer needs to determine how much copper to hedge for Q3. TransRisk shows the net unhedged exposure by maturity — after netting all open physicals, committed purchases, derivative positions, and forward sales — so the hedge quantity is calculated from the real exposure, not a spreadsheet last updated three days ago.
TRADING DESK
Know your limit headroom before you execute.
A trader wants to add a position in nickel. Before executing, TransRisk's pre-trade analysis shows the position's impact on portfolio VaR, the resulting limit utilisation across all relevant dimensions, and the change in net exposure. The trade proceeds with full risk visibility — or is sized differently to stay within policy.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Replace the weekly breach discovery with daily prevention.
A risk manager at a trading house currently discovers limit utilisation issues in the weekly report. With TransRisk, warning-level alerts fire when utilisation crosses 85% — giving the risk manager and desk head time to reduce the position before the limit is reached. Breaches that previously appeared in Friday's report are addressed on Tuesday before they become breaches.
FINANCE
Reconcile commodity P&L without the Monday consolidation exercise.
A finance team at an FMCG company currently spends Monday morning consolidating commodity P&L from procurement, trading, and operations before the management meeting. With TransRisk, the consolidated P&L — across all four measures — is available each morning, already reconciled, with position-level detail on drill-down. The Monday consolidation exercise disappears.
EXECUTIVE
Answer the board's commodity risk question in the meeting, not after it.
The CFO is asked in a board meeting: "What is our current commodity risk relative to the risk appetite the board approved?" With TransRisk's executive dashboard, the answer — portfolio VaR vs. policy limit, net exposure by commodity, structural margin vs. budget — is on the screen, current as of this morning, without anyone having prepared a separate briefing.
