Live User Interface

Interfaces that evolve at the speed of your markets,
built and iterated inside the application, not outside it.

Interfaces that match the market

A user interface that evolves as fast as your business

In financial institutions, user interfaces are not static delivery artifacts. They are living instruments that evolve continuously as markets shift, workflows change, and regulatory demands emerge. Traders, risk managers, and operations teams expect interfaces that can be adapted in real time, without long development cycles or rigid release processes. A live user interface allows layouts to be built and edited directly within the application itself, using drag-and-drop components, dividers, tabs, and multi-monitor windowing to reflect how users actually work. Layouts can take shape at the speed at which they are described, turning conversations into functioning interfaces in minutes rather than weeks. User preferences, reporting, and distribution to email, Excel, and PDF are intrinsic to the interface, not bolted on. In finance, this immediacy transforms the UI from a fixed presentation layer into an operational surface where insight, action, and iteration happen continuously.

A Unified Front-end

One platform, every workflow

Across financial institutions, trading and execution architectures must scale seamlessly across asset classes, workflows, and ever-growing volumes of data. 3forge provides a high-performance front end that meshes data from multiple sources into highly responsive screens, while enforcing entitlements and access controls at every interaction point. On this foundation, institutions can evolve user experiences quickly and safely, adding features, iterating layouts, and refining workflows across dozens of applications.

True Real-Time Aggregation

Consolidates feeds from multiple OMS and EMS platforms into a single, responsive interface with millisecond refresh rates.

Purpose-Built Scalability

Handles millions of updates per second while maintaining consistent performance for hundreds of concurrent users.

Cross-Platform Integration

Connects to heterogeneous systems and protocols, normalizing data for coherent visualization and analytics.

Regulatory Readiness

Captures, stores, and presents data in formats tailored for supervision, surveillance, and enforcement needs.

Multi-View Transparency

Supports role-specific dashboards, from granular trader views to aggregated compliance overviews.

Low-Code Customization

Rapid creation of bespoke workflows and visual components without sacrificing enterprise-grade robustness.

Fault-Tolerant Architecture

Abstracting data sources ensures high availability and continuity even when individual source systems are under stress or offline.

Historical + Real-Time Context

Seamlessly blends live order flow with historical datasets for trend analysis, anomaly detection, and audit readiness.

Streamlined UI development

Building blocks for financial interfaces

Engineering teams are under pressure to deliver in weeks, not months. 3forge delivers the framework and components needed to build tailored, branded experiences that deeply integrate with hyperscale data in real time.

Tabs and nested panels illustration

Tabs and Nested Panels

Create highly structured interfaces by nesting navigation components, such as dividers within tabs or multiple levels of panels, for streamlined data exploration.

Dynamic HTML illustration

Dynamic HTML

Customize content presentation with dynamic HTML capabilities, enabling rich interactivity and highly flexible user experiences directly within the application.

Dividers with snap illustration

Dividers with Snap

Organize complex dashboard layouts with snap-in-place dividers, providing precise, intuitive control over workspace arrangement.

Transient panels illustration

Transient Panels

Context-sensitive views, temporary pop-ups, and on-demand interactions, keeping the interface focused, uncluttered, and highly responsive.

Advanced charts illustration

Advanced Charts

Add virtually any combination of bars, scatters, lines, areas, maps, heatmaps, canvasses, radial and 3D charts that update in real time.

Aggregation tables illustration

Aggregation Tables

Summarize large volumes of data by computing sums, averages, counts, and other statistical measures, consolidating records into meaningful insights.

Real-time pivot tables illustration

Real-time Pivot Tables

Slice large datasets into dynamic categories across hundreds of columns and millions of rows for pivots that update dynamically.

Real-time tree tables illustration

Real-time Tree Tables

Expand, collapse, and rearrange nodes to explore relationships. Customize hierarchies and formulas for precise, scenario-specific insights.

PDF and email reporting illustration

PDF and Email Reporting

3forge can produce and deliver automated email reports configured and composed using the same live layout model as the user interface. PDF reports also provide with extensive customization options, blending advanced analytics with rich, intuitive visualizations.

Common visualizations include: grouped bar charts, multi-line charts, transpose tables, pivot tables, CRUD tables, breadcrumb filters, heat maps, 3D charts, and area charts.

Real-time, high-volume, workflow-oriented

Built to scale without compromise

Many platforms work well when data volumes are small and workflows are simple, but scale changes everything. The 3forge application engine was built to let financial institutions start small and scale fearlessly.

  • Virtual charts and tables data windowing

    3forge offloads calculations to the server and returns only relevant results, like the rows visible on screen among millions or sorted and filtered rows, or the datapoints in charts in the viewport among millions of points, so bandwidth and front-end responsiveness are preserved witohut losing any information.

  • Designed for exponential data growth

    Distributed architecture and client streaming allow datasets, including the underlying data for charts, tables, and pivots, to be held server-side and transmitted to the browser only when visible on screen.

  • Visual workflows that evolve into automation

    A user might begin with simple tasks like highlighting discrepancies. With 3forge, the handoff to automation is native: visual workflows can be enriched with server-side logic and real-time event handlers in the same environment.

  • Real-time data propagation

    When one element changes, 3forge intelligently propagates that change across related datasets and views, keeping the UI coherent and reactive even as complexity increases.

Enterprise interoperability

FDC3 2.0 compliant, natively

3forge is fully compliant with the FDC3 2.0 standard, ensuring seamless interoperability and streamlined communication between financial applications across the enterprise. It is routinely deployed on enterprise-grade browsers, including industry-leading platforms.

This compatibility guarantees that 3forge integrates smoothly into existing financial technology ecosystems, facilitating rapid adoption and maximizing productivity within complex, multi-application environments.

High performance, independently measured

Benchmarked by STAC

A technology-research firm that benchmarks the performance of new technologies under workloads important to financial institutions, STAC has independently tested and confirmed that 3forge Web exceeds the real-time performance of traditional heavyweight front-ends.

"We found that on average, the system responded with charts of 2 million data points in roughly 3.7 seconds. We also found that as 25,000 records representing 700 thousand database fields streamed into the system every second, the system made new records available for user queries in less than 150 milliseconds on average."

Peter Lankford, Executive Director, STAC
