Breaking Silos through transparency
Some of the largest and most automated Oil & Gas companies struggle with transparency within their eco-system of partners, suppliers and customers.
While individual organizations and units within large energy conglomerates use conventional ERP systems to automate the functions within their organizations – there lies a huge gap in the way information flows within the entire up-stream and downstream value chain and involved entities.
Our approach
Our Oil & Gas specialty platforms are specifically tailored for the Energy sector and trusted by some of the largest Oil & Gas companies in the World – including Saudi Aramco and Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC).
Our technology and expertise empower information exchange and governance of inter and intra organization workflows coherently and transparently.
Our ready Platforms

Material Traceability
A Blockchain powered platform utilized and used by Oil and Gas Companies, their Manufacturers (vendors), and other stakeholders. This platform serves as a solution for managing material traceability lifecycle from the time a material is requested by the Oil & Gas organization and installed at the final location. The end-to-end real time visibility enabled by Blockchain Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and the integration of tracking technology enables both Oil & Gas Company and its vendors to achieve consensus on pending material delivery statuses. As a result, all parties will gain significant efficiency, ensuring authentic material are delivered and all material test certificates and material related authentication papers are digitized and cannot be forged or tampered with. Blockchain’s immutability and transparency is used to combat counterfeiting and ensure receiving genuine material and to document inspection certificates.
Custody / Transfer of Hydrocarbon
Oil & Gas conglomerates and entities today struggle to transparently and efficiently streamline Custody/Royalty transfer of hydrocarbons to monitor and automate the Meter-to-Cash business processes in the Hydrocarbon Supply Chain. The Meter-to-Cash business processes includes Metering, Ticketing, Verification, Billing, Invoicing and Collection. Our Blockchain powered platform enables the following:
- Automated end-to-end meter to cash process currently administered and executed manually by participants of the ecosystem.
- Trusted verification of the transaction via online means issued on blockchain.
- Ability to obtain status or updates from relevant entities with trust via blockchain during lifecycle of custody transfer to cash and collection.
- Ability to have transparency in the mechanism and clear visibility to all the relevant participants on audit trail.
Oil Custody Chain
One of the critical elements of being a successful hydrocarbon hub is to have transparency and traceability of product ownership throughout the product cycle from end to end. Protecting the integrity of any transaction is a crucial advantage in maintaining and developing a successful oil trading hub.
Utilization of product invoices being financed on multiple occasions can be prevented if all related stakeholders involved in the entire life cycle of an oil or refined product can input their data onto the same digital platform. In doing so, the historically paper-based documentation steps can be replaced. This establishes a complete audit trail for traceability of the transaction or ownership of the product covering the entire life cycle, or as much of it as is required to satisfy the stakeholders of the product.
Our Oil Custody Chain enables all stakeholders involved in hydrocarbon transactions to have access to information relevant to a specific stakeholder to ensure transparency and maintain an audit trail of product ownership. External stakeholders such as financial institutions also get first-hand visibility and transparency of the underlying trade to finance these transactions.
