6B works with energy traders, commodity merchants, refiners, shippers, producers, and multi-commodity organisations to integrate Aspect CTRM with upstream market data sources, downstream financial systems, logistics platforms, optimisation tools, and analytics environments. Using APIs, secure file exchange, event-driven workflows, microservices, and cloud-native architectures, we enable fast, reliable, and high-quality data exchange across the full trade lifecycle. From discovery through deployment and long-term optimisation, we ensure your Aspect CTRM integration is robust, compliant, and built for future growth.
Understanding Aspect CTRM
Aspect CTRM is a cloud-based commodity trading and risk management platform designed for oil, refined products, fuels, metals, agriculture, and multi-commodity markets. It supports front-, middle- and back-office workflows including deal capture, position management, risk analytics, market data processing, logistics, settlements, and compliance reporting.
Aspect provides extensive integration capabilities via REST APIs, market data connectors, secure SFTP interfaces, FIX adapters, and event-driven workflows. It integrates seamlessly with exchanges, brokers, market data providers, ERP/finance platforms, risk engines, optimisation systems, BI tools, and document management environments. Its cloud-native design allows organisations to scale easily across teams, portfolios, and geographies.
Our Aspect CTRM Integration Process
We begin with an in-depth discovery phase to understand your trading workflows, commodities, market exposure, data structures, and regulatory requirements. Whether your goal is automated deal capture, improved risk visibility, real-time position updates, logistics synchronisation, or market data ingestion, we map your objectives to Aspect’s APIs and integration endpoints.
Our architects then design a secure and scalable integration architecture using REST APIs, secure file exchange, event-driven microservices, ETL pipelines, or scheduled synchronisation depending on your operational landscape. We also account for essential non-functional requirements such as latency, data quality, cybersecurity, auditability, and compliance.
During development, we leverage reusable integration accelerators — trade-mapping templates, reconciliation engines, data validation layers, transformation pipelines, and monitoring dashboards — to accelerate delivery and reduce risk. We conduct comprehensive functional, performance, and security testing to ensure integration integrity across the trade lifecycle.
Once validated, we manage deployment in close collaboration with trading, risk, operations, and finance teams to ensure a smooth transition. After go-live, we provide ongoing optimisation, support, monitoring, and enhancements to keep your Aspect CTRM integration aligned with platform changes, market evolution, and internal process improvements.
Benefits of Aspect CTRM Integration
Integrating your systems with Aspect CTRM improves operational efficiency, trading performance, and risk visibility. Automated workflows reduce manual effort and errors, enabling faster deal capture, more accurate pricing, and real-time position reconciliation across global commodity portfolios.
Integration enhances middle-office accuracy through consistent mark-to-market calculations, VaR modelling, exposure analysis, and compliance reporting. Back-office teams benefit from faster settlements, smoother invoicing, and reliable audit trails.
Connecting Aspect CTRM with analytics platforms enables deeper insights, scenario modelling, and performance benchmarking. For trading organisations, integration results in improved responsiveness, optimised hedging strategies, better financial control, and more confident decision-making.

Readiness Checklist for Aspect CTRM Integration
- Identify the trading workflows your integration must support (deal capture, positions, risk, logistics, settlements, compliance).
- Confirm your organisation’s data governance, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements.
- Determine which Aspect interfaces — APIs, SFTP, FIX, or event streams — your solution will rely on.
- Decide whether you require real-time updates, event-driven processes, or scheduled synchronisation.
- Prepare a system map showing upstream (markets, brokers, data vendors) and downstream (risk, finance, analytics) data flows.
- Establish key requirements for latency, reconciliation accuracy, auditability, failover, and operational resilience.
