Value Creed’s RAZOR AI-Powered Solution Streamlines Document Processing for 89% Faster Processing

Operational Challenge

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.

From Manual Processing to RAZOR Automation

RAZOR automates document intake, AI-powered extraction, ETRM matching, and exception handling to reduce manual effort.

Strategic Approach to Project Success

Value Creed integrated RAZOR with the client’s existing ETRM environment to automate key steps in confirmation processing. RAZOR captured confirmation documents, extracted trade details, and matched them against ETRM records, replacing manual document review and field-by-field comparison. When differences were identified, the workflow directed users to the specific exceptions instead of requiring a full confirmation review, while corrections could be reprocessed without repeating the entire ETRM specific to modernization.

RAZOR

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.

RAZOR

RAZOR is an AI-powered document intelligence accelerator that integrates with existing ETRM systems to transform unstructured business documents into validated, actionable data, enabling faster processing, intelligent reconciliation, and more informed business decisions

Key Takeaways

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.
