MarketPlace Commodities Enhances Trading Efficiency with a Custom AV Solution from Sapphire



MarketPlace Commodities, a leader in the agricultural trading industry, required a centralized way to display key trading information on their floor. With multiple traders relying on real-time data to make informed decisions, the company needed a solution to display crucial market information in a clear and accessible way. The solution needed to include live data updates for the commodities they trade most frequently, along with opportunities emerging in the market. Unfortunately, the current platform could not scale to the size or resolution required for a large-format display. Without a reliable way to consolidate and visualize this data, their trading floor lacked efficiency and consistency. That’s where Sapphire stepped in.


Sapphire took a collaborative approach and was able to provide a design-build solution tailored to MarketPlace Commodities' needs. They worked closely with the client’s data provider to understand what market data could be accessed via API. By engaging a skilled Brightsign app developer, Sapphire proposed a custom-built, data-driven app that could transform raw market data into a user-friendly HTML format.


This solution involved extensive collaboration between Sapphire, MarketPlace Commodities, their data provider, and the Brightsign app developer. Sapphire managed the process, ensuring the app could seamlessly translate API data into real-time, visually dynamic market updates. Sapphire’s comprehensive approach included integrating all hardware, developing the custom app, and providing a turnkey solution that would address all aspects of the project.


Sapphire installed a stunning 25 foot wide, 32:9 aspect ratio Absen KLII 2.5mm video wall, customized to provide sharp resolution for high-density data display. A Brightsign digital signage player was the perfect solution to host the custom app that seamlessly displayed live data. This combination of advanced hardware and innovative app development created a high-performance, scalable solution for MarketPlace Commodities’ trading floor.


MarketPlace Commodities now has a fully integrated custom stock ticker and commodity tracker that displays live market data in real time. The trading floor benefits from clear, consistent visibility of key commodities and trade opportunities, all delivered through a centralized LED video wall. This new system has drastically improved efficiency, allowing traders to focus on decision-making with up-to-date information at their fingertips. The real-time data updates ensure all traders remain aligned, making the trading pit more productive than ever before.

Sapphire’s solution for MarketPlace Commodities is a great example of how customized AV systems can increase efficiency and transform operations. By partnering with MarketPlace Commodities, Sapphire delivered a system that enhances productivity, collaboration, and decision-making. MarketPlace Commodities now operates with a cutting-edge AV setup that meets their dynamic business needs, further solidifying their position as a leader in the agricultural trading industry.
