Commodity Trade Operating System
Meridian is a multi-user commodity trade platform built for a three-person team — managing deal pipelines, compliance, logistics, trade finance, and port intelligence from a single interface.
The Problem
Commodity trading firms coordinate deals across continents, tracking vessel movements, port schedules, compliance documents, and counterparty relationships. Most small trading desks run on email and spreadsheets.
The Solution
An integrated trade operating system:
- Deal Pipeline — Kanban-style deal tracking from initial contact to contract execution
- Intelligence Globe — Mapbox-powered logistics visualisation with vessel tracking and port intelligence
- AI Opportunity Radar — ML-powered deal discovery scanning market conditions and counterparty signals
- Compliance Engine — Document management, sanctions screening, KYC tracking
- Trade Finance — Letter of credit management, payment tracking, margin calculations
- Multi-User — Role-based access for three team members with activity audit trail
Impact
- Mapbox globe with real-time logistics tracking
