Inside ERMES

More autonomy for customers, more control for the company. Large customers with indexed contracts want to decide when to fix the price. ERMES lets them do it on their own, with live prices and alerts, while the supply company sets transfer prices, markups and limits and trading receives every transaction in real time.
