"We were specifically looking for an easy-to-use, reliable, integrated system across all our copper, raw materials, and refined good operations, including concentrates, blister, anode, cathode, molybdenum, dore, slags, slimes and residues. Brady offers a specialisation and focus across all aspects of metals trading and its architecture is easy to integrate."
"Brady's new software allows us to link our physical aluminium positions to our hedge transactions at all times and we have the reassurance that our data and assets are protected by Brady's multi-layered security, in line with the industry standards. In addition, the new software provides a level of management information over our physical and hedge positions which is unparalleled in the industry."
"Brady delivers continuous support to Enecogen. The support is also handled by the highly skilled ‘Edinburgh’ team, that team achieves very fast response times via their online Customer Wise tool. Just to summarize, the Enecogen team is very satisfied with the CMS system and also with Brady’s support."
"With Brady’s physical metal trading solution, we have installed a technologically advanced solution that is well adapted to petroleum commodities trading and meets many of the challenges associated with tracking logistics. We really appreciated the reactivity and availability of Brady’s teams."
"Brady’s professionalism stood out in the selection process. We sought a trading solution that was easy to implement and support. Brady’s team were highly knowledgeable and consistently demonstrated integrity and flexibility in their responses to how the software could deal with the particular nuances of renewables and our needs."
"Without having a dedicated back-office system means that a lot of time is dedicated to updating multiple systems and databases, where it could be better spent on activity related directly to the business. With the Brady CTRM solution in place, we will have better clarity for analysis, improved efficiency and reliability through the reassurance of an automated platform, enabling us to fully concentrate all our efforts into our core business of trading and risk management. As we expand the business into physical trading and extend our commodity portfolio, we know that the solution we have chosen is scalable to meet the demands of these new markets quickly and efficiently."
"In recent years the base metals market has seen the exit of many traditional broker dealers and liquidity providers. There has also been a significant growth in regulation (such as Dodd Frank, EMIR and MIFID II), increasing the need to capture and retain more trade data. Koch’s exchange volumes are higher than ever before which requires a stable and robust CTRM to manage these challenges as efficiently and effectively as possible. We view Brady’s solution as the best-in-class for base metals trading and particularly in addressing LME requirements. It continues to play a central role in our business and helps us maintain our competitive edge."
"Brady’s solution offers the best coverage and flexibility we’ve seen in the market. The breadth of contracts that can be entered and valued is extensive. Even though we use it largely for metals trading, we can just as easily book interest swaps, FX deals or incorporate ags or petroleum deals. Another major advantage is the ease in which we can incorporate our own calculations, extract and import data, slice and dice information in the way we want to, without the need to invest in additional resources. For example, we have seen some systems take a significant number of fields just to import a futures trade. With Brady’s solution we only need to fill a much smaller number of fields for the same trade."
"Brady offers a wide range of interfaces for specialised packaged software products in areas such as accounting and credit management. This makes the process of integrating our data less complicated, quicker to implement and more cost-effective."
"As part of the transaction, we required a ‘greenfield’ trading and risk management system which can be deployed in an exceptionally short timeframe. Brady’s new software allows us to link our physical aluminium positions to our hedge transactions at all times. We have the reassurance that our data and assets are protected by Brady’s multi-layered security, in line with industry standards. We are confident that the team and the solution will meet our trading and compliance needs."
"For more than 25 years Brady has been developing leading software for customers to successfully manage the volatility, risk, and complexity of commodity trading and as the leader in their field and an existing supplier to us, the selection process was relatively simple. We have every confidence in the solutions and support that Brady provides, as well as their ability to deliver the right set of tools on time and within budget."
"Compared to our old in-house system and other commodity trading and risk management applications on the market, Brady metal derivative trading solution is first-class and I’d certainly recommend it."
"Brady Energy Power Scheduling Solution for power provides us a proven market offering, and a flexible and robust tool which is most importantly scalable to meet our strategic growth requirements. With a careful evaluation process of the general functional support, TSO communication and overall European coverage readily available, ElectroRoute recognised Brady is unrivalled in this space with a very compelling solution."
"Having been a customer of Brady since 2010, we are highly impressed by the team’s understanding of our business and the professional partnership that we have enjoyed to date. This coupled with Brady’s unique position in being able to cover almost all European markets within one modern technology platform, made Brady the right partner for CLENS. We were looking for a way to improve the transparency of the balancing and scheduling processes, whilst simultaneously gaining greater efficiency in streamlining the processes by automating the time-consuming stages of the various processes. We are confident that we have chosen the best product on the market to improve the efficiency of our business, resulting in reduced costs and shorter release cycles."
"We are delighted to see the impact Brady’s Energy Reporting Service has made on our business. Our mid office team has experienced around 80% reduction in manual tasks upon being operational with this solution. Before it took roughly 2.5 hours to run reports. Now we can run highly insightful reports in around 30 mins. Setting up jobs is quick and easy. We can now focus more on analysis work to provide the insights our traders need more efficiently."
