Achieving optimum trading performance while minimizing business risk, and reducing transport and inventory costs against supply disruptions and unplanned market events is complex. Add constantly fluctuating market prices, ongoing credit issues with the banks, and changing accounting regulations – and the jobs of marketers, risk managers and operations professionals are difficult without a centralized and professional system. AspectCTRM is the leading energy trade risk management software choice for oil trading companies.
AspectCTRM supports several types of business for oil products. See our complete solution set for oil markets which includes these Modules: Trade Management, Risk Management, Physical Operations and Financial Operations.

Many companies are using multiple spreadsheets to perform mark-to-market (MTM) and to hedge physical positions. This causes major risks, inaccuracies and an inability to manage and reconcile front and back office activities efficiently and cost-effectively. Companies know spreadsheets are not the answer – but the costs and risks associated with implementing traditional energy trade risk management software have been prohibitive for small to medium size companies until now. With AspectCTRM straight through processing ensures your trades are accurate from trade capture to settlement.
Hedging is important in trading and in fuel procurement to protect the business from rising fuel costs. Optimizing fuel procurement is a necessity for large consuming businesses like airlines, transportation companies and industrials. AspectCTRM is an affordable, quick implementation choice for these companies, where trading is not their main business, but fuel is one of their largest costs. AspectCTRM is also the obvious choice for trading companies as it provides complete visibility to market exposure. Positions reports bring complete visibility to your hedges and associated physical trades in one system to help you understand when you’re fully hedged, and when you need to take new positions and unwind positions. AspectCTRM allows companies to manage margins more effectively through long-term deals, hedging and position management, and through efficient invoice validation and settlement.
