What is cieTrade?
cieTrade is specialized business management software for recycling companies, commodity traders, brokers, processors, exporters and waste operations. The platform brings commercial, operational and logistical information together in one system so teams can manage transactions from initial pricing and order creation through inventory, dispatch, shipping, documentation, billing and financial reporting. It is designed around the workflows of recycled materials and bulk commodities, helping companies replace disconnected spreadsheets and repetitive data entry with a more structured, traceable process.
For recycling plants and scrap operations, cieTrade supports scale activity, inventory control, material processing, dispatch and shipment management. For commodity brokers and international traders, it connects buy and sell transactions with pricing, logistics, documentation and profitability data. This gives users a consolidated view of each load or trade while keeping related emails, documents, photos and financial information accessible from the same operational context.
