ScrapeMonk Commodity
Every public index that moves your costs — energy, metals, polymers, steel, freight, currencies, inflation — in one place. Decades of clean history, the world events that moved each one, and your own licensed data right alongside.
Built on authoritative public data — plus your own licensed sources
And the data to see it clearly is scattered across expensive terminals, analyst PDFs, and spreadsheets that are stale by the time they reach you.
So price changes get justified on gut feel or last quarter’s numbers — and nobody can point to which index actually drove the move.
You’ll recognise yourself if you…
Cost-exposed
Have costs tied to raw materials, energy, or exchange rates.
Justify price changes
Lean on commodity indices to defend pricing to customers or management.
Assemble data by hand
Stitch together numbers from multiple sources every month.
Want the real drivers
Need to see which cost drivers actually move your prices — and by how much.
Feed models
Need clean, long-history series for pricing and forecasting.
Typical users
Pricing, procurement, category management, finance/FP&A and commercial teams — in manufacturing, distribution, packaging and processing.
Tracks any public index
Drawn from multiple authoritative public sources, across ten categories: energy, metals, polymers, additives, steel, packaging, transport, agriculture, currencies and economic indicators.
Direct vs. contextual
The indices in your bill of materials versus the forces around it — FX, inflation, freight — always shown apart.
Long, clean history
Gap-filled and normalised, stretching back decades — so trends and models have real depth to work with.
Events behind the moves
Overlays conflicts, tariffs, weather, pandemics and shocks — and measures each one’s impact on your indices.
Seasonality
Year-over-year overlays, monthly averages and the underlying pattern — so you can time buying and set budgets.
Bends to your view
Raw or rebased to 100, combined or split charts, custom dashboards you save and share, one-click clean export — and your own licensed data imported alongside.
The market picture that used to take an analyst a week — in a dashboard you build in minutes.
Every public index is sourced for commercial use; your own licensed data stays under your terms.
A packaging manufacturer needs to defend a price increase — and to know when to buy steel and resin.
Today that means three terminals and a stack of PDFs, rebuilt from scratch next quarter.
One dashboard of their inputs and drivers, the tariff and freeze impacts visible, clean series exported into their pricing model.

Trust & Security
Twenty years of hands-on data and engineering work behind it, by TopMonks, an EU software studio.
The philosophy is the same across the MonkSuite: clean, reliable, decision-ready data beats a dashboard full of numbers nobody trusts.
Each deck walks a whole scenario through the suite, with the numbers.
When your costs move, adjust the price — and prove it
A weighted basket of the commodity indices behind your costs sets exactly how much a price should move — component by component, defensible to the customer.
Catch a cost change before it eats your margin
The moment a tracked cost move lands, see exactly what it exposes: every affected product, quote and customer, and the margin at stake.
Every index that moves your cost — in one governed picture
Every public index that moves your cost, plus your own licensed series, weighted into one governed basket — with the events and seasonality that explain every move.
