The liquidity is there. The workflow isn’t. So the trader becomes the integration layer.
Smaller institutional desks can reach the market. But every route has its own screen, data model and fees, and enterprise OEMS platforms take months and a budget line most desks don’t have.
Dealers, venues and voice all live in different places
Direct streams, electronic venues, phone and chat. Each one is a separate window and a separate record.
Orders and fills are typed in again, by hand
From the trade ticket to the OMS to booking and reporting. Every hand-off is a chance for a break.
The alternative is a replacement programme
Enterprise licences, long implementations and per-trade charges, sized for Tier 1 firms rather than your desk.
One connected record, from order to book
Run the whole lifecycle in Ignite, or use it as the execution and connectivity layer above the OMS you already have.
Order
Stage from your OMS, a PM request or the desk. Limits, notes and approvals travel with it.
Price discovery
Every dealer you face, side by side on one liquidity ladder, with hit rates and size.
Execute
Click a stream, send an RFQ or log a voice fill. The execution lands in the same record.
Book
Allocations, commission and markup calculated once, then booked to your OMS or downstream.
Report
A full audit trail of every quote, decision and fill, ready for compliance and TCA.
Built around the things desks told us they do by hand
Pricing and execution run in the MVP today. The screens below show the workflow we are building with our early adopters.
Voice and electronic, one record
Phone and chat fills are captured at source against the live order, including RFQs and missed trades.
The commercial arithmetic, done for you
Markups, commissions and client tiers are calculated once, by rule, and carried through to booking.
Booked where it belongs
Fills flow to your OMS and downstream systems automatically, with status the whole desk can see.
Configure your order workflow. Don’t rebuild it.
No two Rates desks run orders the same way. Ignite adapts to yours: who approves, how you route, how you charge and where it books. No bespoke development programme.
- Approval and limit steps that match your controls
- Routing by dealer list, protocol and size
- Commission, markup and client-tier rules
- Booking targets: your OMS, back office or both
Institutional Rates workflow, without enterprise costs.
Institutional capability at mid-market economics.
Reasonably priced
Transparent annual subscription per user. Supported connectivity, updates and support included. No per-trade fee, ever.
Easy to install
Runs standalone or above your existing OMS. We are targeting weeks to go live, not months, with no rip-and-replace.
Adapts to your workflow
Approvals, routing, commissions and booking configured to how your desk trades today, and changed as it evolves.
One Rates platform. Three kinds of desk.
The workflow is shared. Where you start differs.
Hedge funds and asset managers
Macro, RV and systematic funds · asset managers · pensions and insurersNeutral access to the dealers you already face, electronic and voice in one record, and booking straight into the OMS that runs your portfolios and compliance.
Broker-dealers
Non-bank broker-dealers · agency desks with CLOB accessClient and hedge legs, markups and commissions, voice capture, booking and reporting, all in one place instead of four.
Bank Rates desks
Regional and specialist banksModern market access, client pricing and execution without the cost and burden of an enterprise front-to-back platform.
