We created 2DA with the vision to help commodity supply & trading organizations unlock their true potential. Our company was inspired by the realization that while the industry was amassing huge amounts of data, it lacked the tools to properly harness it. With this in mind, we began working with forward-thinking organizations in downstream oil, crafting a solution around their biggest data challenges. The result is BAYZYEN - the world’s first cloud-based operational planning & optimization app built specifically and solely for oil value chains. 2DA was started in 2016 by former traders and consultants but has since grown to include operations researchers, data hunters, scientists and developers. Being as passionate about tech as we are about oil, we’ve built BAYZYEN using cutting-edge components to create a solution that is both flexible and scalable. While our company has grown, we still keep the same focus on industry collaboration that we’ve had since day one. By continuously testing and gathering feedback about the app, we uncover new ways to serve the people that use it every day. The days of longing for the “luxury” of true data insights in downstream oil are over. Welcome to the new industry standard.
