Efficiency and risk reduction through Allegro automation

95% Manual Effort Reduction Through Automated UK EMIR Reporting for Energy Trading Firms

Operational Challenge

Energy trading firms faced significant compliance challenges with UK EMIR reporting, spending countless hours manually extracting trade data from their ETRM systems, transforming it in spreadsheets, and manually uploading files to the ICE trade repository. This inefficient workflow was error-prone and created last-minute reporting pressures before regulatory deadlines.

The manual process created multiple compliance risks human errors in data extraction, inconsistent field mappings, missed lifecycle events, and potential regulatory breaches. With regulatory requirements becoming increasingly complex, firms needed a robust solution that could transform this high-risk, high-effort task into a streamlined, automated background process that ensures timely, accurate submissions every time.

A Strategic Approach to Process Transformation

Value Creed engineered an end-to-end automated UK EMIR reporting framework connecting trading systems to the ICE trade repository. Built for rapid deployment in Allegro, Aspect, Tempest, and other leading ETRM platforms, it streamlines the complete lifecycle from data extraction to submission and status tracking. By centralizing reporting rules, validations, and enrichment logic outside the ETRM, the framework enables fast regulatory adaptation without major development or lengthy release cycles.
