Crop year, origin, and the buyer who went quiet
Built for desks trading sugar, grains, oilseeds and pulses — where origin and crop year decide the deal, shipment windows move, and half the work is finding out which of thirty counterparties actually read the offer.

Who this is for
Brokers and trading desks in softs and grains, on either side of the trade.
You sent it to thirty and heard from four
A parcel of ICUMSA 45 goes out to the buyers who might take it, and four reply. The other twenty-six are silent, and every silence looks the same — the one who opened it three times is indistinguishable from the one whose address bounced.
By the time you work out who was interested, the shipment window has moved and the offer needs re-sending with new dates to people who may not have read the first one.
What changes
See who actually read it
Per recipient: opened, read the specification, downloaded it, came back twice, or never opened it at all. The follow-up writes itself because you know which conversation you are having.
Move the window without re-sending
Post an update on the brief. Everyone who received it is told, and the offer stays at one address rather than becoming a second version in somebody's inbox.
Origin and crop year where a buyer looks for them
The specification is laid out the way a counterparty reads it, so origin, crop year and shipment are not buried in a paragraph.
In your terms
The specification carries whatever the trade uses, not a fixed set of fields for one commodity.
What it costs
Free to have a desk and receive briefs. Paid when you are publishing and distributing your own.
Questions
- Can I run a monthly contract rather than a single parcel?
- Yes. A brief carries a trial quantity and a contract quantity separately, so "12,500 MT first vessel, 25,000 MT a month after" is one offer rather than two.
- What about counterparties who are not on Inco?
- Most of your book will not be, and nothing changes for them. They get a link, read the brief and reply — no account, no password.
Open a desk and try it against your own flow
It takes a minute, costs nothing, and your counterparties never pay to deal with you.
