New Feature: Inventory Tickets
v243 of Molecule was released this week! In it was an important new feature for our physical trading customers: Tickets – for delivery, shipping, and inventory.
What do Tickets do?
With Tickets, Molecule users can:
- Increment or decrement actual volumes when commodities schedule, ship, or arrive, and compare these to contracted volumes
- Compare contracted renewable credits with physical credit deliveries
- Manage, mark, and true up inventory buckets directly (as opposed to only via physical trades)
Why is this Important?
Molecule has been on a long journey to build the easiest-to-use & most technologically advanced ETRM/CTRM. We've supported physical and financial customers on our platform from Day 1 – but our physical customers have often advocated for more features.
Last December, we released our Inventory feature, which takes volumes from settled physical deals, increments/decrements stored amounts, and calculates weighted average prices. We've enhanced it since then – adding functionality and polishing rough edges – and put it into regular production use.
Tickets is the next logical step in our physical logistics journey: direct access to deliveries and all the complexity around them. We have many enhancements planned for this feature – from custom fields, to a world-class ticket/deal-linking screen, to special options for renewables. We owe a big "thank you," to the customers who have helped us design this feature.
We're working hard on our logistics stack, and there's much more to come – so keep checking in with us!
What fields do we capture?
Tickets are typically linked to a Trade, so can inherit all the trade's attributes. In addition, Tickets can override a price or quantity. Custom fields for tickets are coming soon!
How do I get the Feature?
All Molecule customers on the Core package and up, now have access to Inventory Tickets.
