Grainterminal
An online platform for trading agricultural commodities that we designed and built. Grainterminal later merged with the CleverFarm project, and we continue to look after the trading module of the whole project.

Trading where location decides
The best price for a commodity in the required quality – for both sides.
Behind the platform was a vision of a convenient tool that lets farmers and traders quickly sell and buy commodities in the required quality and at the best price. Transport costs depend on location, so we built the whole system as a map application.
A user enters an offer or a request and the system looks for counterparts – and alerts the user by itself when a new suitable opportunity appears. Every deal shows what stage the negotiation is at. Grainterminal later merged with the CleverFarm project, where commodity trading runs as a module that we continue to look after.

The price depends on where the commodity is
With agricultural commodities, transport decides the price. So trading is built on a map: offers and requests with a loading area, counterparties within reach, plus current prices, exchange rates and weather – from offer to invoice in one place. Today as the trading module of the whole of CleverFarm.
Five areas the trading is built on
From the map and offer matching to market data and invoicing.
-
Map application
Offers and requests on a map with tools for working with location – loading areas, distances and transport availability.
-
Matching offers and requests
The system finds suitable requests for an offer and vice versa. It lets the user know about new opportunities by itself.
-
Market data
MATIF exchange prices, exchange rates and input from traders, logistics companies and brokers – from these the system calculates the best commodity prices for each region. Plus a weather forecast right next to the deal.
-
Trading from negotiation to invoice
Negotiating parameters and price, closing the deal and, thanks to an internal invoicing system, paying for services.
-
An interface for the field too
Trading works just as well from a phone in the field as from a computer in the office.
How the project runs today
From vision to a working platform
We prepared the concept, the interface design and the technical solution, and after launch we kept developing the platform based on how traders worked with it.
CleverFarm trading module
Grainterminal merged with the CleverFarm project. We continue to look after the trading module of the whole project – the code we built lives on in the new whole.
