In plain words

PilarHQ automates commodity and currency hedging for companies managing physical commodity risk. It replaces manual spreadsheet-based processes with intelligent automation that ties each hedge to specific deals and adjusts quantities automatically. The platform allows users to trigger workflows through natural language commands via a web app or WhatsApp, eliminating month-end surprises and ensuring hedges are executed correctly the first time.
