Fully digital commodity trading & finance

A trading desk you can sell to, buy from, or build a deal with

FITSA is a fully digital commodity desk for South America and global markets. We originate, buy, sell, finance and settle physical commodity flows — and we structure deals brought to us by producers, consumers and trading partners.

How FITSA works

Three ways to work with FITSA

A first-time visitor should know exactly where they fit. You can sell commodities to us, buy commodities from us, or bring a trade idea and let us structure it together.

I have commodities to sell

You are a producer, exporter or seller in Brazil, South America or other origins. We originate the contract, arrange logistics, manage the documentation and settle — you deliver, we pay.

Sell to FITSA

I need commodities to buy

You are a consumer, processor, refiner or importer looking for supply. We source the cargo, hedge the price and currency risk, and deliver to your destination under one contract.

Buy from FITSA

I have a trade idea

You have an opportunity, an offtake agreement, a vessel, a storage asset or a structure in mind. Bring it to us. We analyse the flow, design the commercial and risk framework, and execute it as one book.

Three fronts that operate as a single desk

01

International Structuring & Trading

End-to-end import and export of commodities. We align origination, contracting, logistics and delivery so the cargo moves from origin to destination under one accountable desk.

  • Contract origination and counterparty negotiation
  • Logistics and documentary execution
  • Delivery and settlement coordination
Source & move cargo
02

Commodity & FX Risk Management

Hedging built around the physical cargo. We neutralise price, basis and currency exposure with disciplined, non-speculative cover.

  • Price, basis and FX exposure mapping
  • Hedge design and execution
  • Live mark-to-market and limit monitoring
Hedge the exposure
03

Structured Trade Finance

Working capital tied to the cargo cycle. Collateralised finance structures that support volume without adding balance-sheet strain.

  • Pre-export and import financing
  • Collateral structuring and control
  • Repayment tied to cargo settlement
Finance the flow

The platform

A fully digital commodity desk, built for speed and control

Spreadsheets, e-mail threads and manual reconciliation are replaced by a single flow. Behind the interface, an integrated network of processes coordinates every step — from data capture to approvals, settlement and risk checks — so the desk moves as one system.

24-hour executionOperations run across time zones without waiting for a desk to open — pricing, confirmations and settlements progress around the clock.
Fewer errorsContract data is captured once and reused everywhere, removing rekeying mistakes in documents, invoices and hedge tickets.
Faster SLAsApprovals, document checks and reconciliations move in minutes instead of days, shortening cash conversion cycles.
One-stop shopOrigination, logistics, hedge and financing handled by a single counterparty, under one contract and one point of accountability.
Physical-financial integrationEvery cargo carries its matching exposure, so the position is always marked as one consolidated book.
Workforce optimisationTeams spend their time on negotiation and risk decisions instead of repetitive administrative processing.
Onshore-offshore integrationLocal origination and offshore structuring operate on the same data set, with consistent pricing and documentation.
Compliance by designKYC, sanctions and documentary requirements are enforced in the flow, with a versioned and traceable audit trail.

Partners

Why partners and customers look for us

We remove the operational, financial and regulatory friction that slows commodity flows — so you can focus on the trade itself.

01

Focus on the trade, not the overhead

Free your team to negotiate and manage risk instead of building and running large back-office, technology and process layers.

02

Best-in-class onshore-offshore infrastructure

Access optimized local and offshore structures that reduce transaction costs across trade, tax and compliance.

03

Faster SLAs through advanced automation

Shorten response and settlement cycles by replacing manual steps with automation and intelligent processing.

04

De-risk through ecosystem leverage

Use our network of ports, vessels, pop-up assets and industrial partners to convert partial positions, secure full cargoes and distribute risk.

05

One physical-financial settlement

Settle physical and financial legs in one flow, eliminating reconciliation gaps and optimizing landed cost of goods sold.

06

Preserve institutional knowledge

Reduce disruption from team turnover with a single, versioned record of every operation, decision and counterparty.

07

Enforce risk policy in real time

Apply counterparty limits, stress tests, VaR, trader allocation and mark-to-market P&L in one controlled book.

08

Adapt fast to trade barriers

Respond quickly to new tariffs, tax codes and sanctions without rebuilding workflows or losing momentum.

09

Certifications and supply-chain compliance

Meet customer, supplier and accreditation requirements — ISCC, GAFTA, RED, RTRS, RSPO, WWF, ISO, SEDEX and traceability.

10

Industry presence without direct exposure

Stay represented in local and international industry bodies, associations and regulatory chambers through our network.

11

Build your own edge

Lower costs and reduce risk through an integrated people-process-technology approach — without creating new competitors.
