“We needed a fully functional and integrated trading and risk management solution to optimize and automate where possible our manual, spreadsheet-based business processes and to improve real-time controls and reporting. Our objective was to deliver a solution that would maximize operational efficiency across the Trading business, while at the same time provide an infrastructure that would minimize and control levels of operational risk. The flexibility and extensibility of the Allegro product allows Bord Gáis Éireann to effectively and efficiently manage our various cross commodity business processes, including those more unique aspects of our operations.”

Key performance indicators at your fingertips

Timely and accurate business information is essential to successfully manage an organization’s objectives. Energy executives often lack the necessary visibility into business metrics that would allow them to see how the business is performing and determine where adjustments can be made. Allegro’s Decision Metrics 8.1 enables companies to create and monitor key performance indicators (KPI) in real-time so that effective action can be taken to seize market opportunities and mitigate risk.

With Decision Metrics, your team’s top executives can access key business metrics in real time from any web browser on desktop or mobile devices.

Armed with the ability to quickly gain business insight at both the enterprise level and at the most granular level, executives can make better strategic decisions. Decision Metrics 8.1 offers advanced visual representation of KPIs and can be accessed either though the Allegro trading and risk management application or a simple browser-based interface.

 

Key Performance Indicators

Decision Metrics 8.1 offers the ability to measure and monitor many key performance indicators critical to success in energy and commodity markets. Typical KPIs include:

  • Mark to Market
  • Profit and Loss
  • Approval Status by Trade Date
  • Position Limits on Exposure Quantities
  • Market Value Growth
  • Mark-to-Market Valuation Against VaR
  • Counterparty Portfolio Concentration
  • Counterparty Exposure by Rating
  • Market Value Compared with Position Value
  • Supply and Demand Forecast
  • Value at Risk (VaR)
  • Position Limits on Value at Risk
  • Market Price
  • Volumetric Exposure to Market Price
  • Aged Receivables by Credit Rating
  • Elements of Cash Flow by Month

Decision Metrics 8.1 also allows users to view the KPI metrics in a variety of ways, with the ability to easily control how charts and graphs are displayed. With a single click, you can toggle
between viewing a Mark-to-Market (MtM) report by counterparty, and instead see it sorted by tradebook, trader, or commodity.

Improved Decision Making

This component also provides drill-down capabilities so that users can view data at more granular
levels of detail. For example, when viewing a MtM report by counterparty, you can rapidly drill down to see what market areas make up that MtM amount.

This functionality saves time, facilitates improved decision making, and allows individual users to view data in the way they prefer.
