Automated confirmation matching for energy trading
Stop chasing confirmations. Start matching them automatically.
Fidectus Confirmation Hub: Built for modern back-offices
Your back-office team processes thousands of trade confirmations every day. Some arrive as structured eCM messages. Many more arrive as PDFs, broker recaps, email attachments, and spreadsheet exports. Your team spends hours copying data between systems, cross-checking details, and chasing counterparties, work that causes delays and quietly accumulates risk. What if every confirmation, regardless of format, matched itself?
Fidectus automates confirmation matching across all the formats your back office actually receives. Not just the structured ones. All of them.
Your matching only works when both sides use the same system
Platforms built around the EFET eCM standard work well, when both you and your counterparty are on the same network exchanging structured messages. But that's rarely the full picture.
In practice, a significant share of your confirmations arrive as:
- PDF documents from counterparties who don't use eCM;
- Broker confirmations with non-standard layouts;
- Email attachments that no system can parse automatically;
- Spreadsheet exports from counterparties running different ETRM systems.
When your matching platform can't handle these formats, your team becomes the matching engine. They open PDFs side by side with your ETRM, manually compare fields, and flag discrepancies by hand. Every manual touchpoint is a place where errors enter and confirmation slows down. This is the gap Fidectus closes.
Match confirmations from any source, not just eCM networks
Most confirmation platforms require your counterparties to be on the same system. Fidectus doesn't. The platform injects and matches confirmations from:
- Structured eCM messages,
- PDF confirmations (parsed automatically),
- Broker recaps and email attachments,
- Trading platform exports and spreadsheet data.
This means you get automated matching coverage across your entire book, including the counterparties that will never join a matching network.

Integrate with the systems you already run
Fidectus connects directly to your ETRM, settlement, and accounting systems. Trade data flows in, matched results flow out. No rekeying. No reconciliation spreadsheets. Your existing infrastructure stays in place.

Give your back office visibility they've never had
Instead of chasing confirm status through emails and shared drives, your team sees every trade's confirmation status in one place, across all counterparties, all formats, and all commodities.

Why interoperability matters more than network size
Traditional matching platforms measure success by how many counterparties they've onboarded. But your matching coverage shouldn't depend on whether your counterparty has joined a specific network.
Fidectus takes a different approach. Instead of requirements counterparties to adopt new technology, the platform processes whatever formation confirmations arrive in. Your counterparty sends a PDF? Matched. A broker emails a recap? Matched. A structured eCM message from a shared network? Also, matched.
The result: you get confirmation matching coverage across all of your counterparties, not just the ones who happen to use the same platform as you do.
This is what interoperability actually looks like in energy trading. Not a closed network that works for some counterparties. An open system that works for them all.
Cut hours of manual processing, every day
When confirmations match automatically, your team stops spending time on data entry, cross-referencing, and status chasing. They focus on exceptions and high-value work instead.
-
Cacth errors before they reach settlement
Automate validation flags mismatches the moment data arrives, not days later when settlement breaks. Earlier detection means faster resolution and fewer costly corrections.
-
Reduce operational risk across your trading book
Every manual step is a risk. Automation removes the repetition touchpoints where transposition errors, missed confirmations, and version mismatches typically occur.
Maintain clear audit trails Every confirmation, every match, every exceptoin is logged. When auditors or compliance teams need documentations, it's already there, structured, timestamped, and complete.

Built for the future of post-trade operations
Fidectus was designed specifically for the realities of energy trading operations, not adapted form financial services or built as a generic workflow tool.
Multi-commodity support: Power, gas, oil, emissions, certificated, GoOs, the platform handles the confirmation formats and trade structures specific to energy markets.
Counterparty flexibility: Whether you trade with 50 counterparties or 500, across one market or many, Fidectus scales without requiring your counterparties to change anything.
Back-office-first design: The workflows, dashboards, and exception handling are built around how back-office teams actually work, not how a front-office system thinks they should.
