 Business Problem

The Gas market requires continuous input data management. These data can, however, significantly differ from the actual customer withdrawal profile. This often leads to strong data variations in the different versions of the carrier’s budget. All this is reflected in the forecasts, causing difficulties in using storage services, capacity reservation, and contract portfolio management, and, overall, could increase logistics and supply costs.

 i4C Solution

Data Quality is the E4C Suite module that offers a response to these challenging problems, intervening in the event of anomalies that could affect the customer’s withdrawal planning, or even make it unfeasible.

  • Market variations at the beginning or during the thermal year
  • Recently acquired PoD
  • Irregular carrier allocations

Each detection rule triggers different methods of substitution, responding in the most effective way to each need.
Each Data Quality activity also generates a specific user-configurable report.
