A strong shortlist candidate when crude, refined-product, NGL, or fuel operations are as important as trade capture and market risk.
Where ION RightAngle fits
ION positions RightAngle for producers, crude marketers, refiners, fuel marketers, and fuel consumers managing liquid hydrocarbons. Its public product material connects trade capture to scheduling, transportation, inventory, blending, valuation, invoicing, accounting, and tax rather than treating the physical leg as a peripheral interface.
That breadth makes operating-model fit the heart of a RightAngle evaluation. A polished front-office demonstration is insufficient: buyers should walk a representative physical movement from contract and formula through nomination, inventory, actualization, valuation, invoice, tax, and close. The implementation test is whether standard product behavior can express the business without accumulating custom logic that slows upgrades or obscures controls.
Best aligned with
Midstream, downstream, marketing, refining, distribution, and large fuel-consuming organizations with material liquid-hydrocarbon logistics.
Workflow graph
These links describe the decisions and handoffs this product can participate in. They are not a claim that one product owns the entire workflow.
Manage physical energy positions
What do we own or owe, where is it, when does it move, and which operational exception changes the commercial position?
Open graph →Mark to market and settle energy trades
What changed in value, which exposure remains, and can operations, risk, and accounting reproduce the number?
Open graph →Build and govern energy price decks
Which price assumptions are approved, where do they apply, and how does a changed curve alter value or exposure?
Open graph →Data this workflow depends on
BTU Graph's data mapping is editorial analysis. Exact fields, entitlements, connectors, and licensing depend on the proposed product configuration.
Physical and financial transactions
Contracts, pricing formulas, delivery obligations, hedges, fees, and counterparties establish position and cash flow.
Market curves and reference data
Benchmark, basis, product, location, unit, calendar, FX, and tax data drive consistent valuation.
Logistics and inventory events
Nominations, movements, tickets, tanks, blending, losses, and actuals keep the commercial position aligned to operations.
Settlement and enterprise records
Invoices, cash, credit, ERP masters, and journal mappings connect transaction operations to close.
Capabilities confirmed in current vendor material
Integration note
ION documents exchange, market-data, ERP, operational, and value-added-module connectivity across its platform materials. Confirm the exact adapters, versions, ownership boundaries, and batch-versus-real-time behavior in the proposed architecture.
Boundary and buyer diligence
Do not assume it replaces
- Licensed market-price feeds
- Pipeline, terminal, or meter systems
- Corporate ERP
- A data-governance program
Questions to put in the demo
- Can the standard model represent your most difficult pricing formula, movement chain, inventory treatment, tax case, and settlement correction end to end?
- Which customizations or extensions sit outside the upgrade path, and who tests them when the platform changes?
- How are missing prices, late actuals, rebooks, and estimated-versus-actual differences surfaced and approved?
