Enterprise-grade ETRM, without the enterprise price tag
Many multi-commodity desks run on spreadsheets and manual re-keying because platforms like Openlink Endur, Allegro, or RightAngle are priced and scoped for the largest players. Gravitas brings straight-through processing, real-time risk, and one governed model to the teams those systems leave behind, and the savings can run into the millions.
Priced out of the incumbents, stuck on spreadsheets
The established ETRM/CTRM platforms were built for the largest trading houses and carry the licence fees, implementation timelines, and headcount to match. For a growing multi-commodity desk, a small or mid-size OTC shop, or a team just outgrowing Excel, that puts a real system out of reach, so the desk keeps running on spreadsheets, email confirmations, and manual re-keying between systems.
That works until it doesn’t. Every manual hand-off is slow, every re-key is a chance to introduce an error, and no one has a real-time, reconciled view of position and risk. The cost is paid quietly, every single day.
From manual re-keying to straight-through processing
On a spreadsheet desk, a trade is entered and re-entered at every stage, capture, valuation, risk, confirmation, settlement. In Gravitas it is captured once and flows straight through, because every function reads the same governed model.
Legacy landscapes stitch separate systems together and reconcile between them; a modern ETRM puts every function on one governed model, so numbers agree by construction.
Estimate what STP could save you
Straight-through processing saves money two ways: the hours your team spends re-keying and reconciling, and the cost of errors that manual handling introduces. Enter your numbers for a rough, illustrative estimate.
Illustrative only, based on your inputs and an assumed 80% reduction in manual-keying errors under STP. Real savings depend on your workflows; a demo produces a grounded estimate.
If this sounds like your desk, Gravitas is for you
Excel-based trading desks
Running position, P&L, and risk across a web of linked spreadsheets that break when someone leaves or a tab is overwritten.
Pain: no single source of truth, version chaos, key-person risk.
Small & mid-size OTC shops
Trading bilateral OTC deals with manual confirmations and settlement, where each trade is re-keyed several times between capture and cash.
Pain: manual re-keying, reconciliation breaks, slow settlement.
Multi-commodity desks
Trading across power, gas, oil, ags, or metals, needing positions to net and risk to aggregate across commodities, which spreadsheets simply can’t do cleanly.
Pain: siloed books, no cross-commodity risk view.
Priced out of Endur / Allegro / RightAngle
Teams who evaluated the incumbents and found the licence fees, multi-year implementations, and headcount requirements far beyond their budget.
Pain: enterprise cost for a mid-size need.
Growing desks outpacing their tools
Volumes and complexity rising faster than the spreadsheet stack can handle, but not yet ready for a seven-figure platform commitment.
Pain: scaling manually, controls not keeping up.
Producers & end-users hedging
Corporates managing procurement or production hedges who need real exposure and hedge tracking without a full trading-house system.
Pain: unclear net exposure, hedge tracking in Excel.
Enterprise capability, right-sized economics
- One governed data model, capture once, flow straight through to risk, settlement, and reporting
- Real-time valuation and risk on live positions, not an overnight spreadsheet roll-up
- Multi-commodity on one platform, so positions net and risk aggregates automatically
- Cloud-native and configuration-driven, no multi-year implementation or large IT team
- Priced to the shape of your desk, so you start where you are and grow
- A complete audit trail replacing fragile spreadsheet version history
Common questions
We can’t afford Openlink Endur or Allegro, is Gravitas realistic for us?
Yes, that is exactly the gap Gravitas is built for. It delivers the governed data model, straight-through processing, and real-time risk of an enterprise ETRM, but it is cloud-native and configuration-driven, so it avoids the multi-year implementations and large licence-and-headcount cost of the incumbents. Pricing is scoped to your desk.
We run everything in Excel today. Is moving to Gravitas a huge project?
No. Because Gravitas is configured rather than custom-built, onboarding maps the platform to your commodities and workflows and connects your data sources without a multi-year implementation. You replace fragile linked spreadsheets with one governed model.
How does Gravitas actually save money?
Two main ways: it removes the hours your team spends re-keying and reconciling trades between spreadsheets and systems, and it cuts the cost of errors that manual handling introduces. For an active multi-commodity desk, those savings compound quickly, use the estimator above for a rough figure.
We trade OTC across several commodities, can Gravitas handle that?
Yes. Multi-commodity, physical and financial, on one governed model is the core design. Positions net and risk aggregates across commodities automatically, which is precisely what a spreadsheet stack cannot do cleanly.
Do you have customer references?
Case studies are published as customers are able to share them. For references relevant to your sector and size, ask during a demo and we’ll connect what we can.
