We support energy suppliers, generators, commodity traders, and portfolio managers in integrating their ETRM systems with external exchanges, market operators, scheduling platforms, and internal financial and operational systems. From architecture and development to testing, deployment, and ongoing optimisation, our integrations enhance trading accuracy, reduce operational risk, and support confident commercial decision-making.

Our mission is to help organisations build connected trading ecosystems that support agility, transparency, and resilience across the full trade lifecycle.

Understanding ETRM System Integration in Energy & Utilities

ETRM platforms underpin the management of physical and financial trading activities across electricity, gas, renewables, and broader commodity markets. They support trading workflows, risk assessment, position management, credit analysis, and regulatory reporting. However, these systems are only as effective as the quality and timeliness of the data they consume—and the ease with which they integrate into wider business processes.

Energy organisations often manage numerous data sources including market pricing feeds, scheduling information, forecasting outputs, metering data, settlement systems, and financial platforms. When these systems operate in isolation, trading desks face delays, inconsistencies, and manual processes that introduce risk and limit responsiveness.

ETRM integration brings these systems together, enabling real-time insight into positions, exposures, asset performance, and market conditions. This supports more accurate forecasting, improved hedging strategies, streamlined back-office operations, and stronger compliance with market and regulatory obligations.

Our ETRM System Integration Process

Our integration process begins with a detailed analysis of your trading workflows, system architecture, market interactions, and regulatory requirements. We work closely with trading teams, risk analysts, finance, operations, and IT to understand data dependencies, timing requirements, and areas of operational risk. This ensures the integration strategy is aligned with real trading activity and market constraints.

We then design a tailored integration architecture using appropriate patterns—APIs, secure data feeds, event-driven messaging, batch interfaces, or data platform connectors. Our approach accounts for data validation, reconciliation rules, latency sensitivity, auditability, and security controls aligned to trading and market standards.

During development, we build and configure integration components with a focus on accuracy, performance, and resilience. We test across a range of market and operational scenarios, validating pricing ingest, trade capture, position updates, scheduling data flows, settlement interactions, and reporting logic.

Deployment is coordinated to minimise disruption to live trading environments, with careful release planning, operational readiness checks, and controlled rollout. Post-deployment, we monitor performance, resolve issues, and provide optimisation to ensure integrations remain robust as markets, systems, and regulatory requirements evolve.

Readiness checklist for Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) System Integration

  • Identify which ETRM platform and external/internal systems need to exchange data.
  • Document current trading workflows, data dependencies, and manual processes.
  • Confirm regulatory, audit, and security requirements for trading data.
  • Assess challenges such as pricing delays, reconciliation issues, or inconsistent position data.
  • Prepare available API documentation, schemas, market interface details, or integration specs.
  • Identify key stakeholders across trading, risk, finance, IT, and operations.
  • Consider future trading strategies, market expansion, or system upgrades that may influence integration needs.
