Our Story
After more than 25 years in the oil and commodity trading space, our Founder and CEO, Ron Garden, observed a recurring pattern across the industry. Companies were investing heavily in legacy CTRM systems, yet the implementations are often slow and costly, with outcomes that fall short of the modern capabilities trading businesses need.
Our founder saw the need to do things differently. To transform the CTRM experience for everyone, the users as well as the implementation teams, he created CoreTRM – a modern cloud-native platform engineered for functionality, speed and flexibility. Today, our 100% implementation success rate and high customer retention rate demonstrate that implementations can be swift and low risk, while still delivering a more powerful and modern system than legacy platforms.
