Our Customers Count on Us
We needed a more effective way to manage our FX exposures, so we launched a pilot project with DeftHedge, focusing on managing our currency P&L to monitor and protect our budget prices every six months. With outstanding support from the DeftHedge team, we quickly mastered the platform and validated its effectiveness. This success led us to expand its use to additional currencies.
Today, DeftHedge gives us clear visibility into all our positions and trading portfolios. The Pricer and market alerts help us track price trends, simulate hedging strategies, and test them before execution. The platform’s comprehensive reporting delivers real-time performance insights while preserving historical data for future analysis.
Throughout our journey, DeftHedge has provided ongoing assistance with data imports, documentation, and training. They’ve also engaged with us on strategic matters like budget pricing and hedging strategies. As a result, we now have a deeper understanding of foreign exchange risks and can make more informed hedging decisions with confidence.
