30 Brady Plc Testimonials

"We chose Brady metal hedging and risk management solution because of its robust risk management functionality, including broad range of derivative pricing module and inventory control capabilities, in a platform that directly addresses our business."

"This was a strategic project for our credit department and extremely timely given the current turmoil across the markets. With Brady Credit Risk, we benefit from a global view of our counterparty exposures and we know where our collateral is on a daily basis. This is absolutely essential in the current climate. Furthermore, by automating out operations, Brady Credit Risk should allow us to focus on our core business."

"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 robust risk engine and its expertise and experience in providing specialised tools for trading and risk management of base metals have provided us with a solid foundation for the continuing development and growth of our business."

"Having relied on Brady energy solutions for several years and following a recent review of all the leading vendors in the space, it was clear to us that Brady provided all the advanced functionality to meet our needs, the lowest implementation risk and the most credible customer references in the Nordic markets, with the largest install base in the region. Additionally, we find the team at Brady very responsive and easy to work with, resulting in a great partnership. Already using Brady’s Energy Data Management solution for our business, we now have the very best solution for both the physical and financial energy markets supported by a single vendor."

"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."

"It was clear that Brady’s metal hedging and risk management solution was an appropriate solution for our business."

"We have been familiar with Brady and its products for some time and had no hesitation in selecting Brady’s option pricing and risk management solution for our trading needs. We were highly impressed at the understanding of our business needs by the Brady team. This partnership will be a key factor as our new business enterprise develops as well as the extra functionality available within the solution that will support our business expansion plans as we grow the business."

"Investing in a new software platform is an important decision, which is also associated with a degree of risk. To meet the challenges we face in the complex and highly volatile markets in which we operate, we are confident that we have sufficiently mitigated that risk by selecting a solution that can support the full requirements of the metal processing value chain. The Brady team affords the most thorough understanding of the metals markets in the CTRM space, which coupled with its unparalleled portfolio of customer references, provides us with the proven assurance of Brady’s capability to meet our requirements and deliver."

"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."

"During our selection process we were convinced that Brady’s EDM offered the most solid solution to meet the market requirements for the forthcoming Nordic Balancing Settlement initiative, which is fundamental to companies operating in the Nordic market. Key to our decision is Brady’s partnership approach working with ourselves and other customers to ensure that the NBS project requirements are met, in time and on budget, without compromising on quality."

"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."

"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."

"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."
