IMS is the operations platform for metals and alloys trading. It keeps contracts, inventory, shipments, invoicing and cashflow in one place, so the numbers your team works from are the same numbers wherever they are. CONTRACTS AND SALES Track purchase contracts and sales orders from agreement to delivery, with per-line quantities, pricing formulas and the shipment status attached to each. INVENTORY AND SHIPMENTS See what is in each warehouse, what it cost, how long it has been sitting and what it is worth today. Follow shipments from loading to arrival. CASHFLOW One view of money in and money out — client balances, supplier balances, stock value and expenses — with forecasting for what is still to come. INVOICING AND EXPENSES Raise client invoices against the contract lines they cover, record supplier expenses, and keep both reconciled against the underlying trades. MARGINS AND ANALYSIS Margin per contract, per material and per period, calculated from the same records the rest of the app runs on. AI ASSISTANCE Upload a supplier document or material certificate and IMS reads it, extracts the values and prepares the record for you to confirm. Ask the built-in assistant questions about your own data in plain language. SECURITY Sign in with Face ID or Touch ID. Access follows the role your administrator assigns, so people see the parts of the business they are responsible for. IMS is a subscription product for trading companies. Accounts are provided by your organisation's administrator; the app does not offer public sign-up.
