Vesper  Updates

Commodity Copilot available from every dashboard

AI

Commodity Copilot is now accessible from any dashboard through a side panel. Ask questions as you work with your data.

What's new:

  • Copilot side panel is available on every dashboard. Open it without leaving your current view.

  • See your prices, charts, and reports on the left. Ask Copilot about them on the right.

  • Spot something in the data you want to understand? Just ask.

Why this matters:

Before this update, using Copilot meant navigating to a separate page. Now you can look at a price move in your chart and ask what's driving it without losing your place. Data and interpretation, side by side.

How to access?

Open the Copilot side panel using the icon in the top-right of any dashboard, or contact your Customer Success Manager at [email protected].

Fish & Seafood Prices via Undercurrent Partnership

Fish & Seafood

Over 2,000 Fish & Seafood price series are now available on the Vesper platform through an integration with Undercurrent, a specialist seafood data provider.

What's new:

  • 2,000+ price series across 15 product groups within Fish & Seafood

  • Global and regional coverage from a specialist seafood data provider

  • Data accessible through your existing Vesper dashboards

Important: Bring Your Own License Undercurrent data requires an active Undercurrent subscription. If you already subscribe to Undercurrent, contact your Customer Success Manager to activate access within Vesper. This model lets you view your Undercurrent data alongside all your other commodity benchmarks in one platform.

Why this matters: Seafood markets are among the most fragmented and volatile in food commodities. Prices vary by species, origin, catch method, and season. That makes it difficult to track costs or compare supplier quotes with any confidence. With Undercurrent data in Vesper, teams across procurement, finance, and category management can check quotes, compare prices, and track trends for fish and seafood. All in the same workflow you use for other commodities.

How to access? Contact your Customer Success Manager at [email protected] to activate Undercurrent data on your account.

Consolidated Import/Export, Supply & Demand, and Futures Widgets

by Vesper Team
Improvement

Import/Export, Supply & Demand, and Futures widgets each had multiple versions for different views of the same data. These are now consolidated into a single widget per data type. For example, where you previously had three separate Futures widgets, you now have one that covers all views.

What's new

  • Toggle between table and graph views within each widget

  • Switch between historical and forward data without leaving the widget

  • All controls are built into the widget, so one widget now does the job of several

Your existing widgets have been automatically replaced with the new versions, using the same parameters you had selected. Nothing changes to your dashboards. If you want different views side by side, you can duplicate a widget and set each one to a different view.

Why this matters

Where you previously needed multiple widgets to see the same data in different formats, one widget now covers it. Dashboards stay cleaner, and you spend less time setting up views.

On mobile, the consolidated widgets will follow at a later stage. For now, the previous versions remain available there.

New US data partner: Sosland Publishing

Data
Partnerships
Oils & Fats
Grains & Feed
Sugar & Sweeteners
Cocoa

Vesper has partnered with Sosland Publishing to bring 114 weekly spot price series into the platform. Sosland is a leading US trade publisher covering food ingredient markets.

What's new:

  • 114 weekly spot price series from Sosland, now live
  • Coverage spans four commodity categories: Oils & Fats, Grains & Feed, Sugar, and Cocoa
  • All series are weekly frequency, reflecting US spot market conditions
  • A second batch covering forward cash prices and basis prices is planned for Q2 2026

Why this matters:

Sosland prices are widely referenced by buyers and sellers in North American ingredient trade. Having them in Vesper means you can compare US spot prices directly against European benchmarks in a single view. For categories like cocoa, oils, and grains where US and EU prices regularly diverge, that cross-regional visibility matters in negotiations.

How to Use It:

  • Prices Widget: search Sosland series by commodity or keyword
  • Price Comparison: set up US vs EU price comparisons for the same commodity
  • Cost Models: use Sosland weekly prices as inputs alongside existing European series

Weekly Forecasts

New
Forecasting & Outlook
Improvement
AI
Data

Price forecasts now display weekly data points instead of monthly. The same 12-month coverage now gives you 52 weekly forecasts; 6-month coverage gives you 26 weekly forecasts.

What it does: Shows forecast at weekly intervals rather than monthly What you can do: Track expected price movements week-to-week and time purchases more precisely Why it matters: Spot trends between monthly intervals and answer the tactical question: commit this week or wait? Especially valuable when markets are volatile.


Pro Tip: If forecasts look flat due to scaling (multiple products or long price histories compress the view), zoom in on the graph, temporarily hide other products using the legend, or hover for exact forecasted values.

Shipping and Freight Transport Prices

by Vesper Team, Product Marketing
New
Energy & Transport
Data
Partnerships

Vesper has launched Commodity Shipping Intelligence through an exclusive partnership with Upply, bringing freight rate benchmarks directly into the platform. This integration enables procurement teams to track delivered costs by combining commodity prices with real shipping rates for their specific inbound lanes—creating true landed cost visibility.

What's New:

  • Inbound Freight Benchmarks: Real shipping rates for strategic procurement routes, not generic freight indices

  • Upply Partnership Integration: Access to validated freight data from one of Europe's leading logistics intelligence providers

  • Route-Specific Pricing: Targeted lanes for commodity imports (origin ports to destination factories)

  • Multi-Modal Coverage: Ocean freight, road transport, and intermodal combinations where relevant

  • Integrated Cost Analysis: Combine commodity prices with freight to calculate true delivered costs

Why It Matters: Commodity prices at origin tell only half the story. With shipping costs representing 10-30% of delivered prices and extreme volatility in freight markets, procurement teams need visibility into both components. This integration transforms Vesper from a commodity price platform into a complete landed cost intelligence system—critical for accurate budgeting and supplier selection.

How to Use It:

  1. Search freight routes using origin-destination pairs in the platform search

  2. Add to dashboards alongside relevant commodity prices for complete cost tracking

How to access? Freight rates are available to all Vesper users who have access to the Energy and Transport category. For more information, contact [email protected].

Supply and Demand Map Improvements

Improvement
Data

Enhanced S&D Map visualization now provides Year-to-Date (YTD) comparisons across regions, enabling instant visual insights into global production, import/export, and stock trends and regional shifts.

Why it Matters:"If I were interested to see where growth in EU milk production is happening, this would really quickly show me that it is not happening in Ireland, Netherlands or France. It's great for presentations, as not having to click through all countries at the same time makes it ideal for regions or groups of countries."

Jasper Endlich, Dairy Market Analyst

How to Use It:

  1. Find the World Map Widget in the S&D category

  2. Select your metric and timeframe of interest

  3. Compare countries and spot regional trends through color coding

  4. Export directly into presentations or add to your custom dashboards
