Starting Point

The prototype initially needed performance and stability improvements to support long-term operations. Once a resilient system was delivered, we were entrusted with leading and evolving the platform.

„The team is both collegial and highly professional. They truly take ownership of the work and bring great energy to solving problems."

Development

Leveraging the latest technology, the system enables cross-border real-time electricity trading. Alongside performance, transactional integrity is key—ensuring that physical power flows can be verified across networks.

All information—from live offers to direct deals and private trades—is transmitted via message brokers.
