An energy trading organization was processing confirmations through a repetitive sequence of email handling, ETRM searches, and field-by-field validation. Each document had to be downloaded, reviewed, associated with the right trade, and checked against ETRM data, even when all confirmation details matched. When a discrepancy in price, quantity, date, product, or other trade attributes was found, the process moved into investigation, communication, correction, and another round of matching.
Value Creed’s RAZOR transformed this workflow through AI-driven document processing, reading and interpreting incoming confirmation documents, extract trade attributes, and match them against the corresponding ETRM records. Rather than sending every confirmation through the same manual review cycle, the workflow surfaces only the fields that require attention. Corrections can then trigger re-matching, while communication and status tracking remain part of the same process.
Confirmation processing moves from approximately 45 minutes to under 5 minutes.
Re-matching after corrections reduces repetitive validation work & streamlines the overall workflow.
Higher confirmation throughput with significantly less manual intervention.
Operational Processing Velocity
RAZOR captures confirmation documents from existing email workflows, replacing manual retrieval and processing. This can reduce confirmation handling from approximately 45 minutes to under 5 minutes per document.
Exception-Focused Operations
Discrepancies are identified during automated validation systems and routed for review, allowing teams to bypass routine checks and concentrate their efforts on confirmations that require investigation.
Improved Data Quality
Each confirmation is reviewed against the related ETRM trade record, which in turn allows us to identify any differences in trade details prior to completion of the confirmation, and which in that process also reduces the risk of inconsistent trade information.
Faster Issue Resolution
RAZOR’s AI- based document processing, which we present to you, identifies issues of misalignment and brings them to your notice for you to act upon. It automates communication that will inform the related trader or counterparty of these issues.
One Operational Workspace
Confirmation reports, trade details, match results, decisions, workflow status, and history are kept in one place, which in turn allows teams to track each confirmation through its processing lifecycle.
Scalable Operational Capacity
As transactions increase in volume, teams are able to scale their operation without putting in the same amount of manual effort; we now see consistent processing as demand increases across trading operations.
The transition from manual to automated processing reduced the operational effort. The trading environment can move from reviewing each confirmation individually to concentrating on the exceptions, decisions, and follow-up activities that require attention.
Value Creed’s RAZOR supports this transition through AI-driven confirmation processing and trade matching within the ETRM workflow. This creates a practical foundation for faster confirmation cycles, focused exception management, and confirmation operations that can scale with trading activity.
