Vesper has added forecasts on 1,800+ additional price series, covering both Vesper's own data and third-party sources. All forecasts run up to 52 weeks ahead.

What's new:

• 1,800+ new Vesper Forecasts now live

• Coverage includes US price series added through recent partnerships, European series, and Vesper Price Index benchmarks

• All forecasts run up to 52 weeks ahead with confidence intervals

• This is a major expansion for US-sourced data in particular, where forward price visibility was previously limited

Why this matters:

Buying decisions are forward-looking, but most price tools only show history. Vesper Forecasts give you a forecasted price for planning purchases, reviewing budgets, or deciding whether to lock in now or wait. With 1,800+ additional series covered, buyers in categories like grains, oils, meat, and packaging can access forward views for both US and European markets. And because forecasts cover third-party sources too, you get forward visibility on the same benchmarks your suppliers reference.

How to Use It:

• Price Forecast widget: add any covered series to see the 52-week forward projection

What's new:

• 388 monthly price series across four commodity categories

• Coverage sourced from Agrarmarktdaten, a Swiss public data provider

Why this matters: Swiss agricultural markets are often unique compared to surrounding countries.

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.

Vesper has launched Advanced Cost Model Collaboration & Forecasting, transforming how procurement teams build, share, and predict product costs. These features eliminate silos between team members and bring AI-powered forecasting directly into your cost models, enabling real-time collaboration on forward-looking procurement strategies.

What's New:

• Cost Model Forecasting: View your total product costs up to 12 months ahead (depending on forecast availability). Toggle between historical and forecasted values with full accuracy calculations, detailed forecast tables showing price movements per ingredient, and weighted accuracy scores.

• Cost Model Sharing: Share any cost model across your organization with granular access controls. Grant view-only permissions for stakeholder reviews or edit access for joint development, with all shared models appearing in a dedicated library.

• Cost Model Collaboration: Work collaboratively on shared models with real-time updates visible to all collaborators. Receive notifications when colleagues share models or make edits, ensuring alignment on the latest cost structures.

Why It Matters: Cost models trapped in individual spreadsheets create bottlenecks and duplicate work. Meanwhile, static historical data leaves teams reactive rather than proactive. This update enables procurement teams to collaborate on living cost models that look forward, not only backward, turning isolated analysis into coordinated teamwork with visibility into future cost drivers.

How to Use It:

1. Access forecasting by clicking the toggle in any cost model widget to switch between historical and forecast views

2. Share models by selecting "Edit" in the cost model widget, then using the share option under "Access"

3. Set permissions as either "Can view" for stakeholder visibility or "Can edit" for collaborative development

4. Find shared models in the dedicated section of your cost model dropdown, marked with company models

5. Monitor changes through the Notifications banner for updates on shared models

How to access? These features are live for all Vesper users. Contact your customer success manager at [email protected] for training on maximizing collaboration workflows.

Now, whether you're buying specialty coffee blends or regional meat cuts, you have data-driven predictions to guide purchasing decisions and budget planning.

What's included?

• Eggs: Shell eggs, liquid, and processed egg products

• Grains: Wheat, corn, barley, and specialty grain varieties
