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.
How Fidectus is different
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
Fidetus 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.
What this means for your operations
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.
Catch errors before they reach settlement
Automated 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.
