Every feature, in plain terms
Contracts through outbound shipment, in one data model. Here's what the platform actually does — no setup story required.
Walk through a live workflow
A tour, not a pitch
Short version: contract, price, ship, receive, invoice, hedge — end to end. Long version below for those who want it.
This page walks the workflow the way you run it. Every feature explains what it does and what changes for the team using it. Read the summaries, or scroll into the detail. No setup required beyond an appetite for specifics.
Why it holds · iRely runs coffee trading end-to-end in one system — purchase contract, pricing, shipping, warehouse receipt, inventory, sales contract and outbound shipment.
Weight and quality claims, built in
Coffee absorbs and loses moisture in transit, so shipped and landed weights rarely match. We turn those disputes into a managed workflow.
Moisture-driven discrepancies
Traders hit weight discrepancies on roughly 90% of shipments. Claims handling absorbs them instead of leaving them to email chains.
Thresholds and adjustments
Set tolerance thresholds, apply vendor adjustments, and resolve slack bags or missing containers as a step in the flow.
Audit trail inside the system
Every claim and adjustment sits in the core record, not in a folder beside it. Ready when finance or an auditor asks.
Risk reports your buyers actually pay for
Mark-to-market, unpriced contracts, hedge positions. Today they live in formulas built years ago. Here they're system-generated.
Mark-to-market and exposure
See position and exposure straight from the contracts already in the system — not from a workbook someone rebuilds each month.
Unpriced contracts and hedges
Track what's priced, what's open, and what's hedged in one place. Traders keep their judgment; the numbers stay current.
Closes the audit gap
Risk lives in the core record, auditable, instead of in spreadsheets outside it. That's the analysis buyers pay for.
Digitized dispatch and driver workflows
Drivers stop keying gallons, BOLs, tank info, and product codes — the entries where an estimated 20–40% carry a billing-corrupting error.
Digital capture, not re-typing
Drivers capture the load digitally on mobile. The re-typing goes away; the human touch stays.
Feeds billing directly
Validated data flows straight into billing, so you invoice the same day instead of chasing corrections all morning.
Fewer credits and rebills
Clean inputs mean fewer credits and rebills landing on the billing desk — and fewer apology calls to customers.
End-to-end trading, one system
The full commodity lifecycle, from purchase contract to outbound shipment — each step usually lives in its own spreadsheet today.
Contract and price
Enter purchase contracts and apply pricing in the same record. Most operations still track this in a shared workbook.
Ship, receive, inventory
Log shipping, warehouse receipts, and inventory as one continuous flow instead of three disconnected tracking sheets.
Sales and outbound
Close the loop with sales contracts and outbound shipment, tied back to the purchase and the inventory that fed it.
One platform, the whole ingredient basket
Coffee, cocoa, sugar, cotton, wheat, eggs — procurement in one system, not one tool per commodity.
Every commodity, one model
Multi-commodity F&B manufacturers run the full basket on the same contracts, claims, and risk logic.
No stitching costs
One nine-system operation paid more to maintain integrations than replacement software would have cost. One model ends that.
Layered on your ERP
Runs on top of the ERP you already have, so you add commodity depth without a rip-and-replace.
How to compare platforms — what actually matters
Feature checklists all start to look the same. What separates platforms is workflow fit, data reliability, and time-to-live.
Ask every vendor three things. Does the workflow match how your traders and dispatchers actually work? Does the data reconcile without manual patching? And how many customers are live and reconciling today — not signed, live?
We'll answer those same questions about ourselves, plainly, on a call. If a workflow isn't a fit, we'll tell you.
How iRely compares to PDI, Vertrax, and Agvance
Each of these vendors is genuinely good at something. Here's a fair read.
PDI Technologies is strong in c-store and wholesale petroleum back-office. Vertrax is built around fuel logistics — bobtail and tank-wagon dispatch, transport, delivery visibility. Agvance covers agronomy and grain accounting for ag retailers. If your need sits squarely inside one of those, they're worth evaluating.
iRely's edge is commodity depth — risk management and processing — carried across every line on one data model. Contracts, claims, and hedging aren't separate modules stitched together; they share the same trade record.
In grain, that depth shows up in the head-to-head. Against 11 competitors, only two — Ever AG and Stone Ridge — win direct comparisons with us. The differentiators are risk management and processing, the same places generic ERPs leave gaps.
