The Only ETRM Designed Specifically for Natural Gas
We all know that the natural gas business spans wellhead to pipeline, to city gate, and ultimately to the meter. Businesses have looked at ETRM systems to supply operational functionality from the beginning to the end of that path covering both wholesale and retail. However, traditional ETRM systems are built to support a wide variety of commodities: Power, crude, refined products, corn, wheat, metals and more. Accommodating the needs of such a broad range of commodities means most ETRM systems come at the expense of wholesale natural gas complexities; not to mention being devoid of retail functionality.
Natural gas companies are looking for a way to help traders procure physical supply, for risk managers to protect against loss while maximizing profit, positions for schedulers, and accurate settlements with reliable accounting. Natural gas businesses that acquire a traditional ETRM software product often find themselves compensating for functionality shortcomings with costly software customizations that fail to fully meet their needs. Expensive consulting hours escalate, time passes, users grow increasingly frustrated, and the business suffers. Commonly, businesses regress to manual methods such as spreadsheets, devaluing the return on their considerable multi-commodity ETRM investment.
