3 areas of analysis

RELIABLE TRANSACTION INDICATORS

Our analyses are not based on declarations, but on actual flows. We cross-reference data from the Flat Cargo Hub (Transactions Volumes) with official indices (HPE / CEEB) to provide an objective view of the “delivered to customer” market price.

VOLATILITY MONITORING

Get notified as soon as a critical variation threshold (>5%) is crossed for lumber or polymers. Our alerts allow you to adjust your storage or destocking strategies in real time.

STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Beyond price, we analyze macroeconomic factors (Energy, Transport, ISPM 15). Our analysts issue positioning recommendations: “Spot Buy”, “Framework Contract” or “Wait and See”.
