X-ADP.

Compare delivery programmes before agreeing the dates.

X-ADP generates delivery programmes that meet the contract rules you enter. It calculates their margins and ranks the alternatives. When a counterparty requests a different window, you can see how that change affects the programme’s value.

Ranked programmes

DELIVERY WINDOWS AND MARGINS

See which permitted delivery programme has the highest calculated margin and what a requested date change costs.
