SOLUTION:

We provided CommodityNetwork with a turnkey solution that is entirely hosted and maintained by Barchart. The service leverages both our physical data center infrastructure (Equinix) and our cloud-based infrastructure with AWS.

The Barchart Trader platform serves as the base for the CommodityNetwork solution we developed. It is designed to be customized and white-labeled by third-parties.

We were able to integrate CommodityNetwork’s news feeds into our news distribution system and build customized tools within the platform.

The entire platform is branded for CommodityNetwork and has it own unique identity.

Founded in 2009, San-Francisco-based missingSTEP is a leading investment analysis tool provider for the mobile market.

missingSTEP reaches over 100,000 users worldwide through their mobile applications and provides a variety of tools on a range of online platforms.

NEED:

missingSTEP required real-time and delayed stock, commodity and forex market data to power its mobile apps.

They wanted a normalized data feed to receive market data for multiple markets through a single web services API, as well as a solution that directly connected END user devices to Barchart servers, with Barchart responsible for market data distribution.

SOLUTION:

The Barchart OnDemand service allowed missingSTEP to connect their apps directly to Barchart’s virtualized servers at Amazon / AWS.

Mobile apps can talk directly to our servers via simple APIs like getQuote and getHistory, and deliver market data quickly to app users.

As missingSTEP develops additional apps, they can leverage the exact same APIs, and as a Barchart client, access dozens of other APIs providing a vast array of financial content.

Comark's business includes grain trading, merchandising, risk management, logistics, and accounting for grain purchasing facilities.

NEED:

As a leader in the procurement and management of grain, Comark and their member network must communicate competitive grain prices to farmers. They needed a managed solution to calculate and distribute these prices, as well as hosted websites and notification tools for delivering commodity market information to their farmer clients.

In addition, the company needed a solution to automate the flow of futures prices into their grain accounting system to prevent costly errors and slippage.

SOLUTION:

The Barchart AgriCharts platform provided the technology needed by Comark.

AgriCharts’ Cash Grain Bid Management System which manages and distributes cash bids to websites, and via text and email notification services. Barchart also integrated our system with Comark's grain accounting systems to ensure an efficient flow of data.

The resulting data is maintained and delivered back to Comark's members' websites for use by thousands of farmers through our hosted solutions.

In addition, Comark uses our AgriCharts Content Management System (CMS) to manage the content and services made available through their websites.

TradingView is an advanced financial visualization platform that uses HTML5 and cloud technology to provide charting on stocks, indices, commodities and forex, with premium options for subscribers.

NEED:

TradingView required access to a broad set of market data to power its platform, in real-time, delayed and OnDemand delivery—as well as historical time series data. The data had to be accessible on a wide variety of devices.

SOLUTION:

Barchart provided TradingView with both real-time and delayed broadcast streaming data feeds in a normalized format. TradingView was also able to utilize Barchart’s .NET API to significantly lower the investment for the feeds.

As TradingView expands their exchange coverage, they can easily bring on new markets with less development.

TradingView is also using Barchart’s OnDemand historical data service, so they don’t have to maintain historical data on their own.

Exchange Data International (EDI) is a premier provider of securities administration data, providing back-office securities data services to most of the major brokerage houses, custodians, and data vendors in the world.

NEED:

EDI needed a cloud-based enterprise data management (EDM) infrastructure, along with modern web services APIs, in order to quickly get their market data to clients.

SOLUTION:

With Barchart’s cloud-based EDM, Barchart OnDemand, EDI can now access a modern data distribution platform without having to build anything on their own.

Because of Barchart’s early adoption of cloud-based computing, our clients can benefit from what we’ve learned managing an infrastructure virtualization through Amazon Web Services (AWS).

We saw early on that with this option, clients could easily integrate their own data with data sets from third-parties.

EDI sENDs their daily and historical price data to Barchart to integrate into our on-demand infrastructure. EDI was then able to use Barchart’s same APIs to deliver market data in formats like XML and JSON, and traditional FTP file delivery, as well as using Barchart’s analytical tools and displays.

Clients can now access both EDI and Barchart data through a single API, representing hundreds of consolidated equity and futures exchanges.

The exchange wanted to offer market data content and tools for website integration to increase the exposure of their financial instruments.

They needed a custom solution that could easily integrate into multiple brokerage firm websites, as well as a managed service.

SOLUTION:

It now serves as a model for the exchange to expand their marketing.
