Tipco Asphalt Goes Live with Allegro Commodity Management Software
DALLAS (PRWEB) September 14, 2017 -- Allegro Development Corp., a global leader in end-to-end commodity trading and risk management solutions, announced today that Bangkok-based Tipco Asphalt PCL (Tipco) has fully implemented Allegro's software to oversee crude logistics, handle inventories, manage risk and value derivatives.
Tipco, a leading manufacturer and distributor of asphalt products, services the road construction, maintenance and paving industries, as well as airport runways in Thailand and the Asia-Pacific region. Last year, Tipco began looking to replace its spreadsheet-based commodity management processes in order to streamline the logistics of bringing in crude oil, as well as improve the management of physical inventory, risk and increasingly complex derivatives.
Because of Tipco's strategic growth plans in Vision 2020, the company identified the need for a robust system that can handle proprietary trading of bitumen and crude, which Allegro will enable. Additionally, Tipco selected Allegro’s software to satisfy its need for a real-time, fully integrated solution to comprehensively manage finance, hedging, procurement, refinery, productions, marine logistics and constructions.
Now that Allegro's commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) platform is in use, Tipco will be able to enhance its physical trading and commodity hedging. Allegro's solution will also empower Tipco with greater control and position visibility surrounding its inventory levels.
Frank Brienzi, CEO, Allegro:
"With growing challenges and greater complexity in the commodity markets, it is imperative that companies such as Tipco have an end-to-end solution that provides them will full position visibility into their commodity management. We're incredibly grateful that the Tipco team saw the capabilities and the value in partnering with Allegro for their requirements, both today and for the future. The implementation of Allegro's commodity management solution, which was completed on time and on budget, will greatly improve Tipco's operational efficiencies."
Koh Lai Huat, Chief Financial Officer, Tipco:
"The implementation of Allegro's software was extremely efficient, and we are proud to announce that we have gone live with its solution. Allegro's powerful and flexible software will provide us with superior tools to manage complex commodity trading and physical crude movements. We are confident Allegro's software will have a positive impact on our commodity risk management and ability to expand our physical trading business in line with our Group’s Vision 2020."
