Momentum3 was presented with a challenge from an existing customer that hedges their fuel and lubricant products in storage to protect against market moves. The client utilized a manual process that did not support their growth rate or desire for more timely information.

From a sales perspective, they also strived for the ability to better manage fixed price transactions with customers.
