Partnership enables customers to reduce costs, improve cash flows and mitigate security risks.
OfBusiness, the fastest growing commodity trader in India, has selected TradeCloud to digitize its communications with customers and third parties across its full supply chain. OfBusiness will market and fulfil orders for multi-commodities across its customer base in metals, steel and energy markets on the TradeCloud platform.
“TradeCloud is the only platform offering a full supply chain digital solution from contract issuance to cash settlement that is mobile and secure. At OfBusiness our mission is to leverage best in class technologies to deliver better prices, better execution and better flexibility to our customers. TradeCloud’s solutions enable us to engage digitally with our customers and grow together, creating greater visibility and trust in our business which translates to tangible benefits for our customers”, commented Abhishek Kaushik, Business Head Metals at OfBusiness.
OfBusiness will build liquidity for its customers via the TradeCloud Metals and Energy applications bringing the marketplace to every user’s mobile, phone, tablet and desktop. Internal customer teams and external parties are then digitally connected around the contract, building trust and efficiency currently lacking in paper-based businesses.
George Wykes, Head of India at TradeCloud explained, “OfBusiness and TradeCloud share a vision to help our customers digitise their business. We recognise our customers care most about price and cost. The combination of TradeCloud technology with OfBusiness’ ability to offer finance and flexibility helps customers achieve their core goals and build for the future.”
