Aratus
Aratus is a purpose-built platform that helps institutional brokers and trading teams price options faster, collaborate in real-time, and analyze opportunities with confidence. We designed and developed the web app and backend infrastructure to give traders an edge in a high-stakes and fast-moving market.
01. The Challenge – Complex Pricing & Disconnected Teams
Before Aratus, options desks faced critical bottlenecks:
- Manual spreadsheets slowing down pricing decisions
- No centralized system for pricing logic or collaboration
- Teams working in silos with no audit trails or visibility
- Difficulty analyzing trade potential in real time
The goal was clear: make institutional options pricing faster, smarter, and more collaborative — while staying secure and auditable.
