Assign products, purpose, and states.
Link counterparties to specific products, define whether you buy or sell, and manage relationship and risk states through configurable workflows.
Use relationship data across workflows.
Apply curated relationship data, counterparty analytics, and internal notes to enquiries, invite lists, compliance checks, and ongoing relationship oversight.

Product-Level Relationships
Define relationships by product and purpose. Assign whether a counterparty is relevant for buying or selling a specific product, in a single unified view.

Customisable States & Workflows
Configure product onboarding and risk states to match your processes. Define the initial onboarding states, allowed transitions, and rules for determining whether a counterparty is onboarded and included in default invite lists.

Risk States & Certificate Visibility
Track counterparty risk with configurable visibility. Assign risk states, optionally display them as chips on dashboards and company cards, and get notified when counterparty's certificates are about to expire.

Contact Person Management
Maintain full control over relationship contacts. Edit and assign contact persons per product or in bulk, without relying on counterparties to manage contact data.

Company Dashboard
View your entire counterparty landscape at a glance. See companies, relationship products, risk status, and certificates in one consolidated interface.

Discovery & Invitation Flow
Find and onboard new counterparties efficiently. Search existing companies, invite new ones, and ensure consistent role assignment throughout the onboarding process.

Counterparty History & Interaction Tracking
Capture context beyond transactions. Add internal notes and track key interactions at the relationship and product level so teams understand onboarding status, past discussions, and supplier/buyer history when evaluating offers and making decisions.
