Quod Financial, the fintech firm known for its adaptive trading and liquidity management solutions, has unveiled Unity as a standalone product—an integration architecture designed to connect and streamline complex trading environments. Previously embedded within Quod’s broader trading technology suite, Unity can now be deployed independently to unify order management, execution, and analytics systems across asset classes.
The company says Unity provides financial institutions with a path to modernization without the disruption of full-scale system replacements. The framework allows firms to consolidate fragmented infrastructure, link existing OMS and EMS platforms, and integrate AI or third-party applications through a single, API-first layer.
Takeaway: Quod Financial’s Unity aims to help institutions reduce integration complexity, enhance agility, and accelerate innovation by serving as a vendor-neutral bridge between legacy and modern systems.
Addressing the Industry’s Integration Bottleneck
Trading firms often operate in siloed environments where OMS, EMS, risk tools, and post-trade systems function independently. These fragmented infrastructures lead to inefficiencies, costly upgrades, and data inconsistency across workflows. Integration efforts can stretch over years, making agility and scalability difficult to achieve.
Unity addresses these challenges by acting as a universal integration fabric. It connects disparate trading systems through normalized data exchange and real-time lifecycle tracking, enabling institutions to standardize operations while retaining control of their existing tools.
Core Features and Advantages
According to Quod, Unity is engineered to be both modular and vendor-neutral, with over 300 pre-built connectors that support rapid deployment. Its API-driven design facilitates real-time synchronization of order, execution, and market data across regions and asset classes.
- Cross-asset data normalization and lifecycle tracking for trades and benchmarks
- Integration of Quod’s OMS, EMS, and algo trading apps or external third-party systems
- Deployment timelines reduced from months to weeks
- Lightweight disaster recovery architecture for operational resilience
Unity represents a third way forward for the industry, said Medan Gabbay, Co-CEO at Quod Financial. For too long, firms have had to choose between living with legacy systems or embarking on disruptive, multi-year replacements. Unity allows institutions to unify their architecture, plug in the tools they want, and modernize on their terms.
How Firms Are Using Unity
Unity has already been implemented at Tier-1 and Tier-2 institutions to accelerate digital transformation across trading desks. Clients have reported integration times dropping from more than a year to under 60 days, while reducing system redundancy and unlocking data visibility across asset classes.
1. AI Integration
By unifying data streams, Unity makes trade and risk data instantly accessible to AI-driven analytics. This capability helps institutions feed clean, structured data into AI systems and automate decision-making directly within live trading workflows.
2. Reducing Vendor Dependence
Firms can now upgrade or replace components incrementally, connecting both old and new systems via Unity’s standardized integration layer. This approach lowers implementation risk and enables technology teams to evolve infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
3. Cross-Asset Coordination
Unity allows firms to link workflows across multiple asset classes—such as automating hedging between fixed income and FX or consolidating risk across trading desks—without replacing core platforms. It effectively creates a unified, normalized architecture underpinning diverse trading applications.
Takeaway: Unity offers institutions a pragmatic middle ground—modernize workflows incrementally while maintaining operational stability and compliance across global markets.
