ElyonIO Commodity Trade ERP
Complete operational control without enterprise CTRM complexity.
An end-to-end SaaS ERP for physical commodity traders, covering purchase and sale contracts, allocations, containerised logistics, inventory, costs and commissions, invoicing, VAT and accounting.
Focused by design
Built for a precisely defined type of physical commodity trader.
The platform is intended for import-export businesses whose operational chain runs from commercial contract through container, stock, landed cost, invoice and ledger.
It replaces disconnected spreadsheets and manual hand-offs with a shared system of record. It does not pretend to be a broad trading platform for every commodity, derivative or risk model.
- Physical purchase and sale contracts
- Containerised and delivery-led logistics
- Inventory, landed cost and commissions
- Invoicing, VAT and integrated accounting

Platform scope
One chain, one source of truth.
Each event updates the context needed by the next team—without re-keying the same trade in separate operational and accounting tools.
| Domain | Included scope | Operational outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Parties & articles | Counterparties, customers, suppliers, articles and reference data | Consistent master data across every transaction |
| Contracts | Purchase and sale terms, quantities, prices, dates, Incoterms and conditions | Current balances and commitments at all times |
| Allocations | Links between purchase contracts, sales and delivery quantities | Traceable fulfilment from supply to demand |
| Logistics | Loadings, deliveries, routes and unique container identifiers | One operational view of physical execution |
| Inventory & costs | Stock, freight, duties, commissions and incidental costs | Earlier visibility of landed cost and margin |
| Invoicing & VAT | Invoicing conditions, supplier and customer flows, tax treatment | Controlled billing from verified operational events |
| Accounting | Party entries, general ledger movements and standard reporting | Financial records generated from the operational source |
Capability status
Clear scope, with no inflated claims.
The website proposal distinguishes available product scope from roadmap items and functionality that belongs in a broader CTRM.
| Capability | Status | Positioning |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts, deliveries, stock, costs, invoicing, VAT and accounting | Core platform | Central product proposition |
| Container status through shipping-line APIs | Integration roadmap | Presented as configurable integration, not an existing universal feed |
| Advanced derivatives, hedging and market-risk analytics | Outside current scope | Not used to position the product |
| Custom workflows and specialised modules | Engineering option | Handled through the separate custom ERP offer |
Controlled implementation
Four to eight weeks when fit, scope and data are ready.
The timeframe is a qualification target—not a generic promise. It depends on product fit, decision availability, data quality and controlled scope.
Configuration
Set up parties, articles, contracts, accounting rules, VAT and workflows.
Migration & validation
Load controlled data, test end-to-end scenarios and resolve exceptions.
Go-live
Train users, complete cutover and stabilise the first operating cycle.
Qualification
Designed to make fit explicit.
A focused product is valuable only when it is clear who it is—and is not—built for.
Strong fit
- Physical import-export commodity trading
- Container, delivery and stock-centred operations

Requires separate assessment

- Advanced hedging and real-time market-risk analytics
- Very broad multi-commodity enterprise scope
- Large global transformation with extensive legacy replacement
- Highly bespoke processes that cannot align with the product model
Test product fit against your real process.
