Commodities producers, trading houses and consumers need a CTRM that is able to handle the products and processes they are currently dealing with. Most Generic CTRMs cover multiple commodities and standard functionalities (product life-cycle, inventory, accounting) but they lack flexibility of adapting to specificities.
Balsamo is designed for Refined and Metals Concentrate so adaptability to other commodities is a smooth transition.
Refined Metals and Concentrates is currently covered by no CTRM provider as they are limited by the depth of the content specificities.
