CM Navigator Winner Of “Supply Chain Analytics Solution of the Year” In 2025 AgTech Breakthrough Awards Program
Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in Agricultural & Food Technologies Around the Globe
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global agricultural technology markets, today announced that CM Navigator, a Copenhagen Merchants company, the world’s largest wheat and barley brokerage, is the recipient of “Supply Chain Analytics Solution of the Year” in the 5th annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards Program.
Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director at AgTech Breakthrough:
“CM Navigator’s freight software is a genuine innovation in agricultural supply chain analytics. A challenge in bulk agricultural trade is the lack of access to reliable, timely freight information. Commodity traders are often forced to rely on outdated benchmarks or intermediaries, resulting in inefficient trade flows, missed market opportunities, and suboptimal value capture at the farm/export level. CM Navigator turns freight from a hidden cost into a strategic decision variable. The level of insight it provides reduces information asymmetry and enables more efficient and transparent trade execution.”
CM Navigator have built the world’s largest automated freight calculator for commodity traders. The freight software for commodity traders enables instant CFR (Cost and Freight) price calculations between any two countries, regardless of vessel size or trade complexity. Developed in collaboration with Copenhagen Merchants global brokerage team, the platform is grounded in operational knowledge and real shipping data. With access to 3500 CFR prices across 590 destination ports, the CFR matrix identifies optimal trading opportunities. The full freight matrix cover over 500,000 routes, and the custom calculator for instant freight rates allows any type of commodity trade to be calculated.
CM Navigator integrates data on global port infrastructure, vessel compatibility, cargo handling requirements, draft restrictions, seasonal limitations, and real-time rate movements. Freight estimates are built around what is logistically feasible, considering whether a specific vessel type can physically perform the voyage between two or more ports. This is especially useful during periods of disruption, such as the congestion at the Panama Canal, when users need to evaluate alternative routes. Updates are processed every 15 minutes to ensure responsiveness to changed market conditions, carbon- and energy prices.
Anders Valentin Vogt, CCO, CM Navigator
“We are driven by innovation, and our latest development - the Instant Freight Rate Tool -underscores our dedication to optimising complexities and delivering full transparency to the commodity markets. By integrating our dataset of market prices with our vast amount of global freight rates, we can offer a tailored and simple overview, enabling clients to compare origin competitiveness quickly. We are delighted to accept this award from AgTech Breakthrough 2025. We will continue empower our customers to trade with precision.”
