CTRM Next is an AI-powered commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) software platform. It covers the full trade lifecycle — from pre-deal analysis and trade capture through risk management, operations, chartering, and settlement — for oil, gas, power, agriculture, metals and derivative products.

What commodities does CTRM Next support?

CTRM Next supports agriculture, gas, crude oil (and its derivatives), power, LNG, metals and other illiquid markets. The platform handles both physical and paper trading across all supported commodity classes.

How much does CTRM Next cost compared to other CTRM systems?

CTRM Next is priced at approximately 50% of the cost of traditional CTRM/ETRM systems. It uses a modular subscription model — you only pay for the modules you use, with no forced bundles or hidden fees.

What is the difference between CTRM and ETRM?

CTRM (Commodity Trading and Risk Management) and ETRM (Energy Trading and Risk Management) are closely related. CTRM covers all commodities including metals, agriculture, and energy, while ETRM focuses specifically on energy commodities like oil, gas, power, and LNG. CTRM Next covers both — it is a full CTRM/ETRM platform.

Can CTRM Next be deployed on-premise?

Yes. CTRM Next supports flexible deployment options: cloud-hosted, on-premise, or hybrid. The API-first architecture ensures seamless integration with your existing systems regardless of deployment model.

How does AI work in CTRM Next?

CTRM Next is AI-native — intelligence is built into the platform from the ground up, not bolted on. AI powers predictive analytics, automated workflows, natural language trade entry, market intelligence, and decision support across the entire trade lifecycle.

Does CTRM Next support physical commodity trading?

Yes. CTRM Next is built for the full complexity of physical commodity trading including operations, chartering, logistics, inventory management, and settlement — alongside paper trading and derivatives.

Privacy policy

Updated 5 November 2026

Next Commodity Technologies L.L.C collects personal data on https://ctrmnext.com, including applications to the Founding Traders Program. This page describes that setup.

Who collects applications

Next Commodity Technologies L.L.C, formation number 2647726, Sharjah Media City, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, offers CTRM Next and the Founding Traders Program. This is the company that collects applications for the program on https://ctrmnext.com.

Privacy requests go through the contact form on this website.

What we collect and why

On the Founding Traders application we collect the details you type so we can decide whether the company qualifies, contact you about the application, run screening, and prepare a program agreement if you are selected.

Company name, where the company is registered or operating, and website
Your name, job title, email address, and telephone number
Whether you are the decision-maker, and who decides if you are not
Commodities, annual physical sales, and deals per year
How many people would use the system, and what you use today
Your written answers about the problem, why we should select the company, and what success looks like
Whether the company is prepared to pay after the free period, and your confirmation of the program commitments
Your agreement to be contacted about the program and for the details to be used to assess the application

Other forms on this website

A demo or contact request collects your name, work email, telephone number, company, how you heard about us, and your message. Company is required. Personal mailbox addresses such as Gmail are not accepted. We use that to reply. Those requests follow the same recipients, retention, and rights as an application.

The CTRM Next Fit Check at https://ctrmnext.com/ctrm-fit-check runs in your browser. The answers you select stay on that page. They are sent only if you ask for a walkthrough and agree that we may contact you. We then email the result to your work address and to our team, and we record the request the same way as a demo request.

Lawful basis

We handle this personal data under the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data.

The basis for an application or a demo request is your consent, given in the form, and the steps you ask us to take before a contract. If you are selected, the program agreement or subscription then covers the customer record.

Advertising and analytics cookies use a separate consent. They stay off until you accept them. Rejecting them does not stop the application form.

Who receives or can access it

An application is posted to this website and then shared only as far as we need to read it and reply.

This website (ctrmnext.com) receives the form in your browser and stores the submission long enough to deliver it.
Resend sends the application email to our inbox. Resend processes that message in the United States.
Foss Company Manager, our CRM, stores a prospect with the company, contact name, email, phone, and a summary of the application. People who work on the program can open that record.
LinkedIn receives advertising events only after you accept advertising cookies. That covers conversion tracking and retargeting.
Google receives analytics events only after you accept analytics cookies.

LinkedIn conversion tracking and retargeting

If you accept advertising cookies, we load the LinkedIn Insight Tag (partner ID 10010578) from snap.licdn.com. LinkedIn uses it to measure visits, including the application confirmation page, and to build audiences so we can show LinkedIn ads to people who visited. That is conversion tracking and retargeting.

The tag does not load if you reject advertising cookies or if you have not chosen yet. We do not use the no-JavaScript image, because that image would record a visit before a choice. You can withdraw advertising consent from Cookie settings on the Founding Traders Program or on this privacy policy. Withdrawal stops new LinkedIn events from this browser. It does not delete an application that was already saved.

Overseas processing and access

We are established in the United Arab Emirates. Some processing happens elsewhere.

Resend processes application and contact email in the United States. If you accept advertising cookies, LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, part of Microsoft) processes those events outside the UAE. If you accept analytics cookies, Google processes those events outside the UAE. Staff may open the Foss Company Manager prospect from outside the UAE. The website and the CRM may also be hosted outside the UAE.

How long we keep applications

We keep an application, and a demo or contact message, for 24 months from the day we receive it. We then delete it or reduce it so that it no longer identifies you.

If a program agreement or subscription is signed, that contract is kept for its term and for as long as UAE law requires after it ends. Copies in our email inbox follow the same 24 months where we still control them.

LinkedIn and Google keep event data under their own policies once a tag has run. Withdrawing consent stops further events from this browser.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, or restriction, object to a use, and withdraw consent through the contact form on this website. We may ask you to confirm that the request is yours.

Cookie settings withdraws analytics and advertising consent. Use the contact form to withdraw the agreement to be contacted about an application. Withdrawing a cookie choice does not erase an application already saved. You can also complain to the UAE Data Office.

Cookie information

A necessary record of your cookie choice is stored in this browser (local storage key ctrm_cookie_consent). It is not advertising and it is not analytics. The application form does not need it.

Analytics cookies, only after you accept them: Google Analytics (_ga and related cookies) and our own page measurements (local storage ctrm_mkt_visitor_id and session storage ctrm_mkt_session_id). We use these to see which pages are used.

Advertising cookies, only after you accept them: the LinkedIn Insight Tag, for conversion tracking and retargeting. LinkedIn may set cookies such as lidc, bcookie, bscookie, UserMatchHistory, AnalyticsSyncHistory, lms_ads, lms_analytics, and li_sugr. We use the confirmation page to count a completed application in LinkedIn.

Cookie choices are offered on the Founding Traders Program, on the confirmation page after you apply, and on this privacy policy. The rest of the website does not ask for analytics or advertising cookies. The choice applies on the next page, and we also stop the tags on the current page as far as the browser allows.
