While others are just entering the outbound PDF confirmations space, Fidectus has years of proven experience helping energy traders manage their confirmations. That experience spans both outbound and inbound flow confirmations - standard and non-standard, physical and financial - covering all commodity types. Managed seamlessly, at scale, and with confidence.
The challenge: high complexity, many manual steps
Confirmation matching in OTC energy trading is changing. With PDF-based confirmations rising and standardised EFET eCM flows declining, the challenge is no longer about adding another feature. Back offices need a way to simplify, automate, and scale confirmation matching - cutting through complexity of double-signing and e-signing across multiple commodities, formats, and counterparties.
The reality today:
- Hours lost manually checking PDF confirmations, correcting errors, chasing reconciliations, manual signing, and managing disputes.
- Multiple systems, formats, and channels slowing processes and increasing risk.
- Reconciliations taking too long, creating uncertainty.
- Compliance and audit demands adding further pressure.
Traditional processes can’t keep up. Manual reviews and fragmented systems increase costs and risk instead of reducing them.
Fidectus anticipated this shift years ago and built a comprehensive solution - tested and scaled - that uses AI-powered OCR, automated matching, double-signing, batch e-signature, exception workflows, and break resolution to minimise manual effort and give back-office teams more confidence and control.
One Hub, all your confirmations
Fidectus Confirmation Hub, powered by the Global Energy Network (GEN), unifies confirmations of every kind - electronic, PDF, standard, non-standard, physical, and financial - into one secure channel. For back-office teams, this means faster reconciliation, less manual effort, lower costs, and reduced risk through built-in controls such as four-eye checks and validations. All delivered in a single trusted workflow that also connects seamlessly with regulatory reporting under REMIT and EMIR, settlements, netting, and payments.
This capability is already live on GEN, helping leading energy firms reconcile thousands of confirmations every month across power, gas, LNG, emissions, GoOs, oil, coal, options, swaps, and more.
Proven experience: built for the real world
With Confirmation Hub, your teams gain speed, accuracy, and confidence in every confirmation - with true end-to-end coverage and workflows refined through years of practice.
Advantages:
- Process data from any format or system - structured or unstructured.
