Cadran Consultancy launches Arantys: ERP software for Commodity Traders

Today Cadran Consultancy launches Arantys. Arantys is a unique software solution for Commodity Traders, which fully integrates ERP and Commodity Trading & Risk Management (CTRM).

Unique product

Since the introduction of ERP systems in the 1970s, numerous sector-specific ERP solutions have been developed. However, Commodity Traders have lacked such solutions due to their specific and complex trading and logistics requirements. Without an integrated solution, many Commodity Traders rely on separate ERP and trading systems, leading to rounding errors, limited flexibility, and a lack of insight. Arantys is designed as the first integrated ERP solution for Commodity Traders, enabling trading companies to manage trading, finance, logistics, and risk management processes in a single package.

Product development

“Arantys has evolved into a powerful, complete system,” says Sjors Oosterwaal, Solution Architect of Arantys. “Since 2015, we’ve worked closely with customers in developing software tailored to the needs of the ‘Data Driven Commodity Trader.’ These traders want to work efficiently and access the right information quickly to make decisions. Arantys provides real-time insights into positions, such as value-at-risk and market-to-market, and facilitates efficient transport and financial planning.”

Marjan van Son, Product Owner of Arantys, adds: “In the world of Commodity Trading, where large volumes and narrow margins are the norm, maintaining a clear overview is essential. Combining various contracts and managing costs can become complicated, especially with multiple systems in place. Arantys brings everything together in one system, allowing all departments—from logistics to finance—to collaborate seamlessly, with everyone clearly understanding what’s needed at any given time. This shared insight helps maximize profits.”

Arantys

“At Cadran, we employ more than 30 consultants and developers who know both the Commodity Trading market and ERP software inside out,” says Bart Dix, Managing Partner at Cadran. “They have worked tirelessly over the past few years to make this solution something special. Their efforts have led to Arantys, a standalone brand that deserves its own place in the market. While we work with clients in manufacturing and wholesale, Commodity Trading is such a unique field that having its own brand name further emphasizes our expertise and experience.”
