COMMERCIAL PROCESSES

gasLUX software modules of COMS (Commercial Operations Management System) constitute a coherent multi-module system, dedicated for underground gas storage facilities operators. The solution is a complex storage management centre, supporting key commercial management processes. Depending on number and type of gas storages, diversity of storage users, existing IT-environment, governmental and customer’s requirements and standards, those processes can be adapted individually.

The mainly supported processes include contract management, nominations execution, dispatching and stored gas balancing. According to customer’s requirements anyhow, all communication channels between gas storage market participants and the invoicing processes with storage users can be established. Processes are handled fully automatically, by using the workflows automation mechanisms available on the gasLUX platform.

System has been developed for underground gas storage operators, but its functionalities support all key processes between all gas storage market participants, e.g. commercial operation, technical operation, gas storage shareholders, customers and all operators of gas transmission systems, the gas storage is connected to.
