The Problem

Commodity Trading Operates on
Broken Infrastructure.

A $25 trillion industry. Still running on fragmented, manual, trust-dependent systems that have not evolved in decades.

01
Counterparty Opacity

Principals unverified. 3–5 intermediary chains per deal. No KYB, no accountability before execution.

67%
of trades use unverified brokers
02
Documentation Fraud

COAs, inspection reports, and warehouse receipts routinely falsified. Grade mismatches cost millions.

$15B
lost annually to doc fraud
03
Zero Transaction Visibility

Trades managed on WhatsApp and email. No centralized record. When execution fails, no audit trail.

1 in 8
trades fail execution
04
Non-Scalable Trust

Risk management equals personal networks. Every new counterparty takes 12–24 months to establish.

05
Existential Capital Risk

In $10M+ deals, one failed trade halts production. No institutional infrastructure exists to prevent this.

The Solution

Hermagon makes transactions
verifiable, structured, and traceable.

Not a marketplace.  ·  Not a data platform.  ·  Not an ERP system.  ·  The execution layer between market access and transaction completion.

1

Verified Counterparties

KYB-lite onboarding with risk profile and tiered access. No unverified party transacts on Hermagon.

2

Structured RFQ Engine

Formal request, offer, and negotiation — 100% on-platform. Every step timestamped and permanently recorded.

3

Document Authentication

COA, BL, and inspection reports validated by accredited analysts. All credentials stored on-platform.

4

Warehouse Confirmation

Hermagon-partnered warehouses confirm stock, grade, and loading readiness before transactions advance.

5

Logistics Tracking

Real-time shipment status, ETA, and delivery confirmation via accredited partner logistics network.

6

Permanent Audit Trail

Every document, communication, and payment permanently archived — accessible at any time by either party.

Core Workflow

From verification to settlement.
One system. Full lifecycle.

Stage 01 — Onboarding & VerificationACTIVE MODULE

All buyers and sellers complete a structured verification process before platform access is granted. Company registration, KYB-lite compliance, trade history review, and risk profile assignment. No unverified party executes a transaction on Hermagon.

Phase 1 — Focused Execution

Controlled launch.
Not mass-market rollout.

Hermagon does not scale before it proves. Phase 1 executes one high-value use case with precision before expanding.

Cu / FeCr
COMMODITY FOCUS
Copper & Ferrochrome

Phase 1 focuses on copper, ferrochrome, and base metals — the highest-value commodities where the platform creates immediate demonstrable impact.

10–20
INITIAL COUNTERPARTIES
Invitation-only onboarding

The first cohort of verified buyers and sellers is personally onboarded through the founder existing trading network. Zero cold acquisition required.

$5–$10M
MONTHLY GMV TARGET
Phase 1 transaction volume

A controlled target that validates the workflow, proves the revenue model, and builds the foundation for Phase 2 expansion.

Founder Advantage

Built by an operator.
Not an observer.

“I was on the wrong side of a $10M+ transaction that failed — no verification layer, no document accountability, no tracking. That trade nearly stopped our operations. Hermagon is the platform I needed. It did not exist. So I built it.”
