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].

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.

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.

Upload your own budgets, purchase prices, and supplier quotes directly into Vesper. Your internal data now lives alongside global market intelligence, all in one place.

What's new

• Add your own data via manual entry or CSV upload

• Store budgets, contract prices, supplier quotes, or any internal pricing data

• Unlimited series and products with no caps on what you can bring in

• All your uploads organized in a new dedicated "Your Data" section

• Access your data in the Prices widget, Price Comparison, and Cost Models

• Use the full Vesper toolbox on your own data: visualize spreads, calculate averages, and add notes directly in graphs

• Use your data as inputs for cost models and custom formulas

Why this matters

Vesper already lets you build custom benchmarks using formulas and cost models. Now you can go further. Bring in your actual purchase history, budget targets, and supplier offers to see the full picture.

• Track performance: Compare what you paid against what the market did

• Spot opportunities: See where your prices diverge from benchmarks over time

• Centralize everything: Stop toggling between spreadsheets and Vesper. Make it your single source of truth.

Your data stays yours

Everything you upload is siloed, secure, and never shared with other users or used in any Vesper Price Index. Your competitive information remains private.

Share dashboards with your team or your entire company. Build once, keep everyone aligned.

What's new

• Share any dashboard with individual colleagues or your whole organization

• Admins control who sees what: choose specific team members or open it up company-wide

• Shared dashboards appear in a new "Shared" category in your dashboard list

• Everything carries over: charts, notes, visualizations, and any customizations you've added

• Builds on existing cost model sharing, now extended to full dashboards

Why this matters

Dashboards already help you bring together the data that matters most. Now you can make that work once and share the view with everyone who needs it.

• Weekly reviews: Set up a category dashboard and share it with your team. No more rebuilding the same charts every Monday.

• Negotiation prep: Build a dashboard with price trends, forecasts, and supplier benchmarks. Share it with colleagues so everyone walks into the room with the same context.

• Leadership updates: Create a cross-category overview for your CPO or finance team. Keep them informed without scheduling another meeting.

Availability

All users get free access to dashboard sharing during Q1 2026.

You can now compare your cost models directly against actual prices and other cost models in the Price Comparison widget.

What's new

• Cost models now appear as selectable series in the Price Comparison widget

• Select cost models from the product dropdown, labeled with their cost model name

• View cost model historical data alongside multiple other cost models, price series, or any combination of both

• Same visualization and interaction as product prices (line charts, tooltips, trends)

• Note: Notes cannot be added to cost models

Why this matters

For finished goods, this bridges cost modeling and price analysis:

• Compare different recipe options to find the most cost-effective formulation

• Validate actual paid prices against theoretical cost models to spot inefficiencies

• Track variance trends over time to identify negotiation opportunities

For commodity and ingredient buyers, this opens up new ways to analyze contract structures:

• Build indices for weighted baskets and compare against other indices or your own prices

• Model multiplier or fixed cost-plus structures on top of any benchmark

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.

Clear your widget selections instantly with the new "Deselect all" button in dropdown menus. Start fresh analysis without manually removing each selection or dealing with cluttered views.

What it does: One click clears all active selections in a widget What you can do: Reset widgets to empty state for clean analysis Why it matters: Faster workflow, cleaner screens, less clicking

Find it in the dropdown menus across most widgets.

Summary: Vesper has launched Technical Analysis, a new forward-looking capability that translates complex market behavior into clear, actionable timing signals. Previously reserved for trading experts using specialized tools, technical analysis is now accessible to every procurement professional through simple, visual indicators. This feature helps teams identify optimal buying windows by analyzing price patterns and momentum, delivering straightforward signals that answer the critical question: "When should I act?"—no financial expertise required.

What's New:

• Three procurement-focused indicators that signal market timing without financial jargon

• Moving Averages show if prices are trending above or below "normal" levels

• MACD detects when price movements are accelerating or losing steam

• RSI identifies when markets are overheated or oversold, highlighting potential reversals

• Clean visual signals (green/red arrows + Interpreted text) that make complex analysis instantly understandable

Why It Matters: Fundamental data tells you why prices should move, but not when the market will react. Technical Analysis bridges this gap by revealing when markets start believing the fundamental story. In volatile markets where timing can mean the difference between saving and losing on purchases in volatile markets. These indicators help procurement teams spot early trend changes, identify optimal entry points, and avoid buying at market extremes, without requiring trading expertise.

How to Use It:

1. Add Technical Analysis to any dashboard by using the search function

2. View the summary panel showing all three indicators at a glance

3. Green arrows indicate upward pressure/momentum, red indicates downward

4. Click the extended view for in depth analysis of the indicators

5. Combine with Vesper's other forward-looking tools for complete forward looking intelligence

Related Features: Technical Analysis completes Vesper's forward-looking toolkit:

• AI Forecasting predicts where prices are headed (the "how much")

• Dashboard fundamentals explain market drivers (the "why")

• Market reports provide expert context

• Now Technical Analysis reveals entry point (the "when")
