What do we do?

Our goal is to provide the industry-standard solution for commodity and trading companies worldwide. Commodities (like metals, grain, cacao, coffee, and milk products) are crucial for goods and products we consume daily. With constant disruptions in weather, climate, global security, and logistics routes, ensuring a stable supply of commodities can be challenging. Our software makes an impact by making trade and logistics processes more efficient and managing potential risks in time. This helps our customers to trade, deliver, or receive commodities in a more efficient, predictable, and profitable way.

The CTRM (Commodity Trade and Risk Management) platform we have developed over the past 20 years is powered by the latest Microsoft technology. With DycoTrade’s added functionality for Microsoft’s business solutions (Microsoft Dynamics 365), commodity trading organizations, small to very large, have an unbeaten software backbone at hand.

Join us in our mission to contribute to a better tomorrow with innovative solutions that make a positive impact on the world.
