In physical trading, valuing your inventory can seem like a complex process - commodities are commingled, and trades overlap across multiple tanks and terminals. Market prices shift every day, but your spreadsheet lags behind, waiting for manual updates.

CoreTRM simplifies this with real-time, automated inventory valuation that ensures accuracy and real-time insight into your storage and trading positions.

Automating Weighted Average Price and Moving Weighted Average Price

The heart of CoreTRM’s inventory management module is its ability to automatically calculate Weighted Average Price (WAP), Moving Weighted Average Price (MWAP), and other methodologies for each storage tank.

Once inventory tracking is enabled, CoreTRM continuously monitors every build, draw and adjustment and recalculates the average cost of inventory based on the latest transactions.

For example, when 250,000 barrels are built and subsequently a further 100,000 barrels are built, CoreTRM automatically updates WAP and MWAP and more, ensuring that every valuation reflects the most updated average price.

Designed for Real Trading Workflows

CoreTRM’s inventory valuation features are not just conceptual. They are built around real operational workflows used by trading companies daily.

Using our Operations Interface, operators can:

• Enable inventory tracking directly from the Mark-to-Market Group linked to physical deals
• Rename MTM Groups for clear tank-level visibility (e.g. “SG Terminal 3 – Sep 25”)
• Match buy and sell trades through a simple drag-and-drop function
• Record inter-tank transfers with full traceability
• Close tanks at month-end and roll over balances seamlessly into new MTM Groups

Every movement and valuation update is tracked in one central system, giving front, middle, and back office teams consistent, real-time data.

Why It Matters: From Efficiency to Accuracy

Having an accurate inventory valuation is crucial. It drives sharper trading decisions, affecting trading performance and financial reporting.

Manual or delayed valuation processes can create hidden costs:

• Misstated MTM and exposure
• Delayed month-end close
• Audit and compliance vulnerabilities
• Clouded visibility of true profit and loss

By automating WAP, MWAP, and revaluation processes, CoreTRM eliminates these risks and free your teams to focus on analysis and decision-making, not reconciliation and data cleanup.

Built for Transparency and Control

Each valuation event within CoreTRM is fully auditable. Every new build, draw, or adjustment is logged and tied back to its source.

This level of detail gives finance and risk teams a reliable trail for validation while providing leadership with confidence that valuations are both current and compliant.
