A turnkey solution
Our users need the simplicity of Excel models, the expertise of banks and consultants, delivered within a SaaS solution
They trust us
We began with a test phase on the PNL currency, with the aim of monitoring and defending our budget prices every 6 months. Well supported by the DeftHedge teams, we were able to become autonomous in just a few weeks and validate the relevance of the tool. We then took on board our other currencies. DeftHedge allows us to clearly monitor all our positions and trading portfolios. Thanks to the Pricer and market alerts, we can follow price trends, simulate and test hedges before taking action. Clear reporting gives us live performance information and allows us to archive historical data. Throughout the process, the DeftHedge teams are on hand to help us with data import, provide documentation and tool training, and discuss more operational and business aspects (defining price budgets, hedging strategies, etc.). We have a better understanding of foreign exchange issues and we have a better picture of the situation to make hedging decisions.
DeftHedge is a powerful SaaS platform designed to enable CFOs, Treasurers, Controllers, Accounting Managers and Buyers to effectively manage their foreign exchange and commodity risks.
