Bangalore, India, October 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Eka, the leading provider of multi-commodity trade and risk management software, announces the release of its product for managing metal concentrates and ferro alloys. Highly flexible in its design and functionality, the solution greatly helps towards better administration of concentrate and ferro alloy contracts, from trade capture, pricing, shipment, inventory, assaying and umpiring, valuations, price risk and position management through to settlements and invoicing. The new functionality is aimed to provide various metal industry participants, including mines, smelters, marketers, traders and processors, with a complete, modern and end-to-end solution for their business including handling of raw material.

The LME week is the perfect opportunity for us to make such a major announcement, and we look forward to showcasing the product to our customers in the months to come”.
