Regulated & Trusted

Our ties to regulated broker-dealer entities set us apart from typical precious metals firms. Clients deal with a counterparty held to institutional standards.

Born from ZMhedge

Our first product allowed dealers to automate hedges down to the ounce. We saw that many dealers didn't know the benefits of hedging — so we built the tools to fix that.

A Full Suite of Solutions

As we worked with clients we saw deeper needs: inventory management, eCommerce integration, price widgets, APIs. So we built an entire platform to address them.

People First

We don't just sell software and wish you the best. Our brokers, developers, and support team are hands-on partners in your success — helping you sell more and connect more, with confidence.
