How BRidge works
BRidge is a production commodity exchange built for the scrap industry. It connects yards directly to institutional buyers, prices material transparently, and settles real tons against real Bills of Lading — with futures hedging built in.
List, price, settle
List your inventory
Push material in the way that fits you — a CSV export, our API, or a direct tap into your yard-management system through BRidge-Connect. No manual re-entry and no double bookkeeping; your existing inventory and vendor quotes flow straight into the order book.
Transparent price formation
Every listing is priced on a published, auditable blend — 70% live vendor quotes, 20% recent contract VWAP, 10% reference. No black box: material is priced fairly out of the gate, and buyers and sellers meet on one order book.
Execute & settle
Contracts and Bills of Lading lock at execution — no post-trade renegotiation cycle. Every step is recorded to a defensible audit trail and exportable for compliance. Lock price forward with futures hedging when you want to.
Trade, data, and partner channel
Three operating layers that work independently or together.
Apply as a buyer, seller, broker, or trader. List inventory or source it, with no monthly minimums. Yards reach mill and trading-house buyers directly — without broker spread — and buyers get aggregated quotes in one order book with price and BOL locked at execution.
Granular, yard-level vendor-quote and contract data under entitlement-based access — pseudonymized but detailed, structured for procurement analytics, hedging desks, and benchmark diligence. It captures live price formation that forward curves don't show: transaction-adjacent quotes, not derivative settlements. Available in tiered coverage; talk to us for access.
Multi-site operators and networks bring downstream flow onto BRidge and share revenue on what they introduce, disbursed through Stripe Connect. Terms start at 30% of trade fees and 50% of data revenue on introduced flow, and are negotiable for anchor partners. It turns relationships you already manage into a margin line.
