The Finsemble Smart Desktop
Interoperability simplified
Finsemble is a no/low code Smart Desktop platform that allows any type of application to sync, link, and share information, even if they weren’t originally designed to. This is known as “desktop interoperability” in the industry, and Finsemble does it best. Smart, automated workflows improve efficiency, reduce error rates, and allow users to focus on higher value tasks.
In this clip, Finsemble CEO Dan Schleifer discusses the benefits of interoperability.
Work (flow) like never before
Interoperability allows you to automate rote tasks your traders, PMs, compliance officers, and back office engage with, freeing them for higher value tasks. Connect your OMS, market data terminal, inventory management system, CRM, etc. in intelligent ways so that multi-step processes are streamlined. Benefits include:
- Respond to client requests faster
- Deliver contextual insight and trade ideas to clients during calls/chats
- Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the trading desk
- Deliver a better client experience
From expediting the RFQ process to streamlining FX Swap, automating workflows is what Finsemble is designed for.
With Finsemble, a unified desktop environment can be built without excessive coding. Communication between any type of application (native, web, in-house, and third-party—including Citrix virtual apps) extends across multiple windows and monitors. Smart desktops can be built on both MacOS and Windows. What makes Finsemble the industry leader?

Pictet had created some standard trading workflows, but trying to share information from different types of applications—in-house, third-party, native etc.—was the challenge. Interoperability was top of mind, and Pictet selected Finsemble to begin their application integration journey. The results? In some cases up to ten minutes a trade has been saved.
This cumbersome, multi-step process has now been streamlined. Yield calculations are automated, including pricing future cash flows with currency exposure by connecting directly to Bloomberg using Terminal Connect in order to price FX forwards. The result is all of this information can be captured by a single action by the user
Axe data from specific counterparties and market aggregators is consolidated and made available from a single click inside Charles River, immediately showing the trader the liquidity of a specific instrument and the current pricing available. Traders can then collaborate with the fund manager to find alpha, by seeing the contents of existing portfolios, interested buyers, and being presented with similar bonds.
