Watch an interview with our Co-founder and CEO Dr. Jens Bartenschlager. He is guest in a new episode of "Conversations with Leaders in CTRM Technology" hosted by Patrick Reames, Managing Partner, Commodity Technology Advisory.
In the interview, Jens provides a comprehensive overview of Fidectus’ post-trade processing platform, outlining how it supports energy and commodity traders across the full over-the-counter (OTC) lifecycle. He explains how Fidectus enables the digitisation and automation of key post-trade processes, including confirmation, settlement, netting, financing, and payment, helping market participants reduce operational risk and complexity while improving efficiency.
Jens highlights how Fidectus’ platform is designed to connect trading counterparties through a single, interoperable network, allowing firms to collaborate more effectively regardless of their internal systems or level of digital maturity. By addressing long-standing inefficiencies in cross-company post-trade workflows, Fidectus helps traders move away from manual processes, fragmented data, and bilateral workarounds toward a more standardised and scalable operating model.
The interview also covers Fidectus’ value proposition for energy and commodity traders, focusing on the tangible benefits delivered through automation, improved transparency, and better control over post-trade operations. Jens discusses how these capabilities support not only cost reduction, but also improved liquidity management, credit risk mitigation, and stronger operational resilience in increasingly volatile markets.
In addition, Jens shares his perspective on current market developments and the evolving needs of energy and commodity trading firms. He reflects on the growing importance of interoperability, regulatory compliance, and straight-through processing as markets become more complex and trading volumes continue to grow. These trends, he notes, are reinforcing the need for open, network-based solutions that can adapt as market structures and requirements evolve.
Finally, Jens explains the strategic role that partnerships with CTRM and ETRM vendors play in Fidectus’ growth. Rather than competing with existing trading and risk systems, Fidectus complements them by extending their capabilities into the post-trade domain. Jens emphasises that simplicity is a core strategic principle for Fidectus — both in how the platform integrates with partners and in how users interact with it on a day-to-day basis. By keeping implementation and usage straightforward, Fidectus enables faster adoption and delivers value more quickly for its customers.
