How Ekman Transformed Trade Finance Visibility
Ekman, a global forest products trading house, streamlined trade finance operations with Mitigram gaining full visibility, efficiency, and strategic control.
Centralized bank communication and pricing in one platform
Faster, more transparent deal execution across the team
Data-driven insights powering stronger bank negotiations
A Global Leader in the Forest Products Value Chain
With a long-standing presence in the forest products sector, Ekman operates across the entire value chain, from marketing and logistics to financial services and risk management. The company’s Sweden-based credit team manages complex international transactions and has made modernization of trade finance a priority.
From Manual Processes to Centralized Digital Workflows
Before modernization, fragmented communication, manual coordination, and lack of transparency slowed execution and weakened negotiating power. By adopting digital trade finance tools, Ekman centralized RFQ processes, consolidated conversations with banks, and gained real-time visibility into all Letters of Credit. These changes now underpin daily operations, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and scalability.
