AspectCTRM

AspectCTRM, now sold by ION simply as Aspect, is multi-tenant SaaS software for running a commodity trading business. It handles physical and financial trades from capture through to settlement, with market data, analytics and reporting built into the same web-based system.

What AspectCTRM offers

• Trade capture and risk management — covers physical and financial commodity trades from entry through settlement.
• Market data and pre-trade analytics — built into the front office modules for pricing trades and updating P&L.
• Real-time reporting — intraday views of positions, exposure and P&L rather than overnight batch runs.
• Exchange and data connectivity — standard exchange links plus ION's Decision Support Center for prices and news.
• Carbon and renewables module — an optional add-on for the carbon and renewable certificate lifecycle.

Who it works with

The software is aimed at firms that trade, refine, produce or market crude oil, oil products, petrochemicals and metals, and at carbon traders. It scales from a single user to thousands.
