ETRM & CTRM Platforms
Modernise the platforms supporting physical and financial trading.
Overview
What this means for your business.
Energy and commodity platforms connect deal capture with scheduling, logistics, valuation, risk, invoicing and settlement. Platform choices need to reflect the products, markets and operating requirements of the business.
Capmark supports ETRM and CTRM selection, implementation, upgrades and programme recovery. We work across operating requirements, vendor evaluation, configuration, data, integration and controls.
Our support connects the physical and financial lifecycle with reconciliation, credit exposure, commodity risk and operational reporting.
What we do
The expertise we bring.
We score candidate platforms against your actual deal types, including power purchase agreements, storage, transport capacity and physically settled products. Demonstrations are scripted around your book, and total cost is assessed across licence, integration, support and upgrade cycles.
We deliver the platform from deal capture through confirmation, scheduling, actualisation, settlement and invoicing. Book structure, curves, workflows, controls and interfaces are configured around how the desk trades.
We build the reconciliations that prove scheduled, actualised and invoiced volumes agree with the financial books. Break management, P&L explain, exposure reporting and month-end close are designed to run from the system, not from offline workarounds.
We design surveillance, position limits and exposure controls for energy and commodity markets. Abuse scenarios, alert calibration, credit exposure, margining, collateral and escalation paths are built around physically settled trading and trading-speed decision making.
We define control points across deal capture, confirmation, nomination, actualisation, settlement and invoicing. Segregation of duties, exception workflows and evidence are built into the process, so commitments can be traced, tested and evidenced where enforcement or independent review is involved.
We run version upgrades as full delivery programmes and take on recovery work where implementations have stalled or gone live unstable. We stabilise break backlogs, reconciliations, interface failures and manual workarounds, then re-baseline scope, vendor commitments and delivery plan.
What to expect
A team shaped around the work.
A Principal leads from day one with a small senior team. The first weeks focus on your book: deal types, book structure, interface inventory, reconciliation breaks, control gaps and the workflows the desk actually runs.
We then agree the target design with trading, operations, risk, compliance and technology, and deliver in phases through configuration, integration, testing, cutover and hypercare.
Engagements range from a focused platform selection or health check to full implementation, upgrade, control-build or recovery ownership.
Work may cover a platform decision, an implementation workstream or a wider modernisation programme.
