Forge aHedge vs QUARTIX Markets

Forge aHedge is a cloud platform for managing commodity and FX risk, from exposure capture and hedging through treasury back office and hedge accounting. It brings procurement, treasury, finance, and accounting teams into a common system while integrating with existing ERP and treasury management systems through an API. The platform covers price, market, credit, and operational risk across forecasts, unpriced orders, fixed contracts, and existing positions. It supports forwards, futures, swaps, and options, and allows side-by-side strategy comparisons with cashflow outcomes across price scenarios. Treasury controls include role separation, approval chains, maker-checker workflows, and immutable audit trails. Hedge accounting supports IFRS 9 and ASC 815, including designation, effectiveness testing, valuation, journals, and disclosure data. The built-in Smithy assistant answers natural-language questions, provides insights, and can create deals and forecasts. Forge aHedge states it is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and describes encryption, tenant separation, enterprise identity controls, and Azure hosting. Pricing is available on request and scales with commodities or reference prices, currency pairs, and configuration.
