Allegro’s comprehensive logistics solutions efficiently manage large volumes of historical and real-time logistics data, revealing true costs and margins and displaying accurate positions at a glance. By automating logistics workflow, Allegro provides schedulers and other professionals advanced decision support tools, rapidly pinpointing optimal transport options from an array of complex choices.  Allegro seamlessly moves product storage, physical processing and transport data into all related processes, from trading and settlement to financial reporting and regulatory compliance, driving efficiency across the enterprise. Full integration with logistics also means that users get up-to-the minute detailed and summary views of positions, locations, capacities, commitments, charges and product quality.

• Logistics and Inventory Management - Allegro ensures that logistics professionals base decisions and actions on best available data at all times, including volumetric, product quality, shipment status, cost and location data.  Allegro integrates logistics with financials from data capture through scheduling, settlement and financial reporting and compliance.  This comprehensive solution set provides scheduling management for all transportation types, including barges, vessels, rail, trucks, pipelines and transmission lines.   Additionally, coal-oriented companies can manage coal stockpiles more efficiently by capturing and managing positions based on stockpiles and calculating qualities based on pile level, and pile makeup.
• Pipelines - From selecting a carrier to nomination, to actualization and settlement, Allegro automatically takes into account contract terms, counterparty credit, best available data, and associated fees, tariffs and other costs.  This comprehensive solution set integrates scheduling with related information for managing complex pipeline movements. Schedulers can view traded volumes of natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil and refined products as soon as a trader enters a deal, as well as view scheduling activities by counterparty, location or pipeline.  Additionally, schedulers can create and store pre-defined pipeline routes and plans with associated information such as product, carrier, and origin and destination locations, as well as automate the creation of shipments per the predefined plans.
• Physical Processing - Allegro helps companies address the complexities that oil and gas, refining, petrochemical and power businesses face in managing operations such as refining, fractionation, blending, re-branding, power generation and related actualization. Allegro’s processing solutions capture all quality data and related documentation associated with procurement, transport, processing and marketing, enabling users to readily determine production forecasts for market or feedstock requirements for supply operations, based on desired production schedules.
