Freight Market Infrastructure
Freight markets are route, capacity and time-window markets, not simply price screens.
ADEX Technology can support freight market infrastructure for configured route, capacity, reservation, clearing and settlement workflows.
Freight Market Technology Market Structure
Freight products may reference origin, destination, corridor, mode, capacity unit, container size, delivery window and settlement terms.
The operating model must define how capacity is offered, reserved, allocated, delivered or financially settled.
Technology Requirements
Freight infrastructure needs route definitions, capacity specification, reservation workflow, market data, risk controls, settlement records and reporting.
Capacity reservation can differ from standard financial trading because availability and allocation may be operational constraints.
Trading and Execution Workflows
Freight markets may use RFQ, order entry, auctions or capacity-reservation workflows where configured.
Trading records should connect route, capacity, delivery window and settlement obligations.
Risk Controls
Risk controls may include exposure limits, counterparty controls, capacity availability, settlement readiness and reservation controls.
Risk treatment depends on whether the product is physically deliverable, financially settled or reservation-based.
Clearing and Settlement
Clear Chain can support trade capture, obligation records and clearing workflows.
Clear Vault can support settlement records, delivery status, capacity confirmation and reconciliation.
Asset-Specific Integration Requirements
Freight markets may require integration with logistics systems, route data, capacity providers, reservation systems, delivery evidence or payment systems.
Integration design should preserve route, capacity, allocation and delivery-window evidence.
Market Surveillance and Reporting
Surveillance should monitor order activity, reservation events, capacity events, settlement status and audit trails.
Reporting should support capacity records, route records, trade records and settlement evidence.
API and Market Data
Freight markets may need trading, RFQ, market data, reporting, capacity, settlement and administration APIs.
Market data should expose route, capacity, contract status, trades and settlement values where configured.
