ReadHow we work
Built from the daily practice of real trading teams.
Granel did not start from a UX brief. It started from watching spreadsheets with dozens of tabs, WhatsApp threads with forwarders, and margins disappearing between the deal and the payment. We build it from inside the business, alongside the people trading physical commodities every day.

Book a callWhat exactly is Granel?+
Granel is CTRM (Commodity Trading & Risk Management) software for physical commodity trading teams. It brings the whole life of a deal into one place: pricing, counterparties, contracts, logistics, itemised costs, multi-currency P&L, cashflow and document compliance. It replaces the mix of spreadsheets, emails and notes most small teams run on.
When is it time to stop running deals in Excel?+
When the signs show up: formula errors that keep coming back, no up-to-date view of P&L, several people overwriting the same file, cost lines forgotten or double-counted, and no single view of cashflow at 30/60/90 days. The CTRM vs Excel comparison goes through them one by one.
How much does Granel cost?+
Three plans: Launch at €149/month (up to 3 users), Growth at €399/month (up to 10 users) and custom Enterprise, with 15% off if you pay yearly. All of them include unlimited deals, multi-currency and migration support.
What is the difference between a CTRM and an ERP?+
An ERP is horizontal: accounting, HR, inventory and finance for any company. A CTRM is vertical for trading: it understands physical contracts, incoterms, logistics costs, FX exposure and per-deal P&L. The two coexist: Granel exports to CSV and Excel on every plan and offers a read-only API on Growth and Enterprise. The CTRM vs ERP comparison goes into detail.
Can I use it without migrating my whole spreadsheet?+
Yes. Start with new deals on day one and upload your history in batches whenever you are ready. The Granel team helps with field mapping during onboarding.
Will it fit my current process?+
It is built to sit alongside brokers, forwarders and finance teams. Today it captures messages over WhatsApp Business and Telegram with AI extraction, exports to CSV and Excel from the interface on every plan, and offers a read-only API (v1) on Growth and Enterprise. A custom integration with your ERP or accounting system is scoped under contract on Enterprise.
How quickly can I be up and running?+
The target is 2 to 3 days, depending on how much history you bring and how complex your setup is: products, counterparties, routes and base currency.
Where is my data stored?+
In a Postgres database managed by Supabase; the application is served from Vercel. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Thinktier OÜ staff access is limited to what is needed. If you use AI capture, the message text is sent for extraction to Groq, Inc. (USA) or to Google. Which providers are involved, which transfers leave the EEA and under what safeguards is set out in the privacy policy.
