Case study: Grain Bridge Brokers

Welcoming Grain Bridge Brokers on Completing Their GrainTrack Integration!

Grain Bridge Brokers is a rapidly growing brokerage firm with clients in the DACH region, Spain, Italy, Turkey, the UAE, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Serbia, handling a monthly trade volume of over 200,000 tons.

With a small team and a CEO actively engaged in brokerage operations, efficiency and automation were top priorities. GrainTrack provided the necessary digital infrastructure to centralize operations and document management, enhancing transparency and control.

Challenges Faced by the Company

  • 🎯 Brokers spent significant time updating market prices and sending updates to clients.
  • 🎯 The absence of a centralized system made it difficult to create and distribute offers.
  • 🎯 Managing brokerage commissions was challenging due to high transaction volumes and various contract execution stages.
  • 🎯 Since Grain Bridge Brokers offers contract execution support, tracking all bills of lading manually was complex.
  • 🎯 Invoice generation and document creation were done manually.
  • 🎯 Invoice issuance depended on an execution manager manually changing the contract status to “Payment Confirmation,” slowing the process.
  • 🎯 Key reports were built manually, consuming a lot of time.
