Risk and market intelligence for physical commodity trading.

Kontor Terminal watches your firm's trade communications and flags operational risk while it is still cheap to fix: a letter-of-credit deadline about to slip, an unanswered logistics email, a moisture-sensitive cargo loading into bad weather. Alongside it, a view of global trade built on public customs data: shipment search, counterparty trade profiles, screening.

Risk

The backend ingests the desk's mailboxes, links messages to trades, and runs deterministic detectors over them: documentary deadlines against LC terms, weather along the routes of sensitive cargoes, threads that have gone quiet at the wrong moment. Every flag cites its evidence and suggests an action. Feedback on each flag tunes precision for your desk.

Market

Public customs and bill-of-lading records, searchable by product, HS code, or company. A counterparty rolls up into a trade profile: who they buy from, who they sell to, in what volumes. Country and company screening is built on the same data, with coverage disclosed per country.

How it fits together

Open client: The desktop terminal is source-available on GitHub. Build it yourself or download a release.
Private backend: The intelligence runs server-side. Each firm is an isolated tenant; your data is never visible to other firms.
Your credential: API key or login, stored in the OS keychain, sent only to the backend you configure.
Self-hosted option: If trade communications can't leave your infrastructure, the backend can run on servers you control.

Download

Builds for macOS (.dmg), Windows (.msi, .exe) and Linux (.AppImage, .deb) are published on the releases page. Early builds are not yet code-signed; see the install notes, or build from source.

Access

The terminal needs a backend and a credential. If your firm already uses Kontor, ask your Kontor contact. Otherwise, open an issue on the client repository and we'll follow up — including for the self-hosted option.
