Case Study: PFP S.p.A. achieves accurate real-time price quotes for biodiesel trading with DTN ProphetX (DTN)

PFP S.p.A. - Customer Case Study

PFP S.p.A., based in Modena, Italy, is a fast-growing trader of bio-based commodities—trading roughly 100,000 tons of biodiesel and 120,000 tons of vegetable oils and fats per year—and needed real-time, integrated market data to analyze contracts amid volatile fuel markets. To support traders who require price changes, market news, weather forecasts and historical analysis at a glance, PFP S.p.A. selected DTN and its DTN ProphetX Energy Edition solution.

DTN implemented ProphetX to provide a front‑to‑back market data platform that links live price quotations, charting history, customizable price alerts (pop‑up or email) and DTN’s proprietary weather forecasts, with one‑on‑one customization and ongoing support. As a result, PFP S.p.A. now relies on DTN ProphetX for live quotes on the four to five products it trades daily, reporting improved data integration, analytical power, usability, reliability and pricing that directly support its trading of large annual volumes.
