Case notes
A commodity trading & import/export operation came to Devlynks with a familiar set of symptoms. Contract margins were calculated in fragile spreadsheets. Our diagnosis phase mapped the full workflow, quantified the hours lost, and identified the highest-leverage points to intervene. A trade ledger with position, hedging, and margin tracking. We rolled out in phases with the operations team embedded throughout, migrating historical data, training key users, and instrumenting every process so improvement could be measured rather than assumed. Improved margin accuracy to within 1%. The system now runs as the daily backbone of the operation, with a support retainer covering monitoring and continuous optimisation.
