Run physical and financial trade from offer to final settlement

PALBONTradeFinance runs a trade house's back-to-back trades end to end: contracts and their addenda, letters of credit and their amendments, bank facilities, vessels, laytime, surveyor documents, risk and treasury, and the final settlement of every leg - each step with its own process, deadlines and audit trail, and an assistant that answers and acts by voice or text.

Questions about PALBONTradeFinance

Does it need an outside AI service?

No. The assistant and document reading use the suite's local model; no data leaves your servers.
