Trading systems consulting, from people who have delivered them.
Our team has spent 20 years implementing, testing, running and replacing commodity systems for energy and commodity firms across Europe and Asia. We work on the platform you have, not only on ours.
- Power and gas
- Emissions
- Crude and palm oil
- Iron ore and base metals
- Swaps and futures
What we do.
From the first workshop to the hypercare after go-live. On leading vendor CTRM platforms, on in-house systems, and on the Zengentic platform.
CTRM and ETRM implementation
Programme leadership, requirements, trade modelling and configuration across the front, middle and back office. Upgrades, mergers and portfolio migrations.
Test management and assurance
Test strategy, entry and exit criteria, SIT and UAT, release regression, data migration reconciliation and go-live readiness.
Trade lifecycle and process design
Trade capture to confirmation, settlement, invoicing, VAT and cash. Operating models, controls and standard processes.
Integration and data
ERP and SAP integration, exchange and broker connectivity, data flows to analytics platforms and reporting.
Regulatory reporting
EMIR, REMIT and MAS trade reporting: requirements, configuration, interfaces and testing.
Platform governance
Security models, release management, defect triage and root cause analysis, so business-as-usual stays stable.
AI and agent adoption
Agents that work under your controls: use-case selection, MCP connections, permissions and audit. Neural-network forecasting models since 2007.
Business analysis capability
Training and coaching for BA teams: critical thinking, user stories and defects that developers can act on.
The experience behind Zengentic
Two decades of delivery, across Europe and Asia.
Utilities and energy traders
Physical and financial power and gas, emissions, renewables and gas capacity, in the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
Oil and renewable fuels
A two-year implementation of OTC and futures trading in crude and palm oil, from trade capture to invoicing and SAP.
Mining and metals
Platform ownership for iron ore and base metals trading in Singapore and London, including a demerger and trade confirmations.
A one-billion-euro trade novation
Migration of a utility's power and gas book to a new legal entity, with back-to-back structures and settlement changes.
How an engagement runs.
Short cycles. Working results early. A person approves every change, including the ones an AI agent drafts.
Shape
We map the process, the roles and the approvals with the people who own them, and agree what the first release must do.
Deliver
We configure, integrate and test. Test evidence is planned from the start, not assembled at the end.
Hand over
We support go-live, train your administrators and leave documentation your team can use.
Why the foundation matters.
AI coding tools have made it much cheaper to build an enterprise application. They have not made it safe to build one.
Identity, permissions, segregation of duties and an audit trail are the parts a small team is most likely to improvise. On the Zengentic platform they exist before anyone writes business logic, so your applications inherit the controls. About the Zengentic platform
Tell us about the system you want to change.
A 30-minute call. We ask about the process, the people and the controls, and suggest a first step.
