Executive Summary:

Commodities producers face many industry-specific challenges, including: manual and archaic processes; a wide variety of outputs and related contracts; large, unstructured datasets; and unique pricing dynamics whereby pricing power is minimal, making revenue streams potentially highly volatile. This presents a major opportunity for FinTech and technology solutions to automate workflows and improve risk management, long-term visibility and forecasting, and overall efficiency. A number of vertical-specific solutions have emerged in recent years, aiming to streamline Office of the CFO functions specifically tailored for commodities producers. The space has attracted recent attention following Blackstone's $6 billion+ acquisition of commodities software and data provider Enverus, as well as Tokio Marine's ~$1 billion acquisition of Commodity & Ingredient Hedging. Investors and strategics are clearly recognizing the market opportunity for innovative, tech-forward solutions.
