In today’s fast paced, data driven wholesale energy markets, success depends on the ability to act quickly, confidently and efficiently. For energy traders, shippers, retailers or generators, this means not only having the right digital tools, but also the right expertise behind them.
Increasingly, energy companies are turning to a combined model of trading software and outsourced services, leveraging both technology and human expertise to optimise their gas and power trading operations.
Energy One, a global supplier of energy trading software and outsourced operational services, is a strong example of how this combined approach can transform trading performance.
Integrated solutions for end-to‑to‑end efficiency
Software alone can automate tasks, but when paired with operational services, workflows become truly end-to-end. Energy One’s software suite – which includes ETRM, automated bidding, nominations, balancing, gas shipping, workflow tools and algorithmic trading tools – is designed to manage the entire trading lifecycle. When supported by experts who operate these systems daily, businesses eliminate gaps that often occur between digital tools and human decision-making.
This integration ensures smooth handovers between strategy, operations and compliance, plus fewer manual touchpoints and errors, and real-time responsiveness to market movements. Energy market participants can benefit from increased governance and faster time-to-market, meaning they can experience increased profitability and faster returns on their trading strategies.
Technology + expertise = 24/7 operational confidence
Wholesale energy trading runs on a 24/7 cycle, but many companies lack round-the-clock in‑house staff. Energy One fills this gap by offering outsourced 24/7 trading and dispatch services alongside their software suite. This means that traders and portfolio managers can rely on continuous market coverage supported by automated tools.
Energy One provides seamless global 24/7 operational energy services and control rooms, because of its global presence across the UK, Australia, France and Belgium. The result is faster execution during volatility, improved balancing and nominations in real time, and reduced operational risk during off-peak hours. All of this means that participants can benefit from having greater time during their working day to focus on their strengths and find new opportunities.
Scalability for companies of all sizes
Energy One supports clients ranging from start-ups to multinational energy companies. Its combination of software and services helps smaller entrants access mature trading capabilities quickly, while giving larger firms flexible, scalable support layers.
Customers can benefit from rapid onboarding to new markets and exchanges, alongside access to specialised market expertise and the ability to reallocate their teams to higher-value tasks.
Enhanced performance through continuous optimisation
Advanced software automates processes such as bidding, scheduling and risk management, but its full value is realised when supported by a team that continuously monitors and optimises those processes. Energy One’s combination of tools and operational specialists creates a cycle of continuous improvement, where real-world trading insights feed back into automated trading strategies.
This leads to better asset utilisation, higher accuracy in forecasting and nominations, and more agile responses to market shifts, which in turn leads to increased profitability.
Benjamin Tranier, upcoming CEO at Energy One, comments: “In an increasingly complex energy landscape, the real competitive advantage comes from blending automation with human expertise. Software delivers speed, consistency and data-driven insights. Services bring market knowledge, operational precision and strategic oversight. Together, they create a more resilient, efficient and scalable trading operation.
“Energy companies adopting this combined approach are better equipped to navigate volatility, reduce risk and capture new opportunities. Providers like us can clearly demonstrate why this hybrid model is becoming the new industry standard to identify new trading opportunities, deliver faster market access and ultimately increase overall profitability/margins.”
