Put simply CTRM (Commodity Trading, Transaction and Risk Management) software has been designed to automate the processes involved in trading commodities.

CTRM software will be made up of a range of applications typically including:
- Trade and operations.
- Hedging and risk management.
- Inventory management and reconciliation.
- Financial accounting.
- Reporting/Analytics.
