For bunker traders
Know the margin before you send the quote.
Supplier offers, landed cost, your floor price and every limit sit in one panel, so the trader sees the whole deal while it is still being made.
Try the panel: move the margin, change the size.

Limits are in front of the trader, not behind them.
Set each trader's order and daily limits, a named approver and a company net-exposure threshold. A deal that crosses a line waits for approval, and the decision is on record.
- Single-order and daily limits for each trader
- Company net exposure against a threshold you set
- Customer credit checked on every save
