WHY CAI
Built for the Realities of Refining and Assay
A refiner's inventory is fluid – aggregated from production, assaying, scrap reclamation, and customer consignment. CAI DataVue Precious Metals gives you a single, accurate picture of your metals position, wherever the material is held.
Lot Control
Identify every ounce by lot number, source, arrival date, and precise form – from clean scrap to sweeps – regardless of where it's physically held.
Settlements & Contracts
Settle accounts using current market pricing or an agreed-upon fixed price, factoring in refining charges, assay fees, and advances automatically.
Hedging
Gain control over variable metal costs with hedging capabilities that cover metals exposure within each transaction.
Metal on Account
Track customer pool and toll accounts, along with unsettled lots, as both an asset and a liability for an accurate real-time picture.
Business Intelligence
Access up-to-the-minute data on transactions, KPIs, and trends, with reporting options that export directly to Excel.
Green Initiatives
Segment and manage "green" lots to meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced, traceable metal.
Built to Fit
One System From Receiving to Recovery
CAI DataVue Precious Metals tracks material through every refining work center – receiving, vault, fire assay, and wet chemical analysis – and settles accounts using current pricing or a fixed rate, on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
