BasisBuddy

BasisBuddy is a web + mobile app (traditional app with AI-assisted analytics) for commodity producers, merchandisers, and small trading desks who need a clear view of local cash prices versus futures (the basis) across elevators, ports, and regional hubs. Users ingest cash bids/offers from emails, PDFs, screenshots, and partner feeds, then map them to relevant futures contracts and freight/quality adjustments. The app normalizes messy real-world quotes, flags outliers, and builds a time-series basis curve by location and delivery window. It also provides simple hedge guidance: what contract month to use, implied carry, and “basis risk” warnings when liquidity is thin. This is not a Bloomberg replacement; it’s a focused workflow tool that turns scattered local pricing into an auditable, shareable basis dashboard for faster decisions and fewer costly surprises.
