Aspect Enterprise Solutions Wins CTRM Deal With Geneva-Based Integral Petroleum

Black Sea and Mediterranean distribution specialist Integral Petroleum has moved from paper-based to Web-delivered trade capture in a first-phase deal with Aspect Enterprise Solutions (AES).

The Geneva and Moscow-based trading house, which deals in crude oil, petroleum products and LPG, selected AES's AspectCTRM solution to help it more efficiently manage a growing volume of business.

Director of trade risk Maxim Bekenev says AspectCTRM offered Integral a rapid and cost-effective route to automated trade capture, with a clear upgrade path for inclusion of middle and back-office functions later this year. “AES has made software as a service (SaaS) CTRM come of age and when we compared its cost and speed of implementation against the enterprise software model, it was very clear which way we should go.”

Founded in 2008, Integral Petroleum (http://www.integral-petroleum.ch/) has a distribution network serving countries around the Mediterranean and Black Sea. It specialises in the transportation and logistics of crude oil, petroleum products and LPG, together with financing, and risk management.
