Financial markets rely on the timely and accurate distribution of prices to ensure efficiency, liquidity, and competitive advantage. Trading desks and market participants must manage vast amounts of pricing data, ensuring it reaches the right counterparties as quickly and seamlessly as possible. However, traditional manual workflows often slow this process down, introducing inefficiencies that impact profitability and decision-making.
ipushpull is working closely with leading financial institutions to improve price distribution and publishing, helping them streamline workflows, enhance data accuracy, and ensure regulatory compliance. By digitalising manual processes and automating key tasks, ipushpull enables trading teams to operate more effectively, delivering better outcomes for clients and the wider market.
Price Delivery: Fast, Efficient, and Scalable
Price dissemination is critical for trading desks, ensuring counterparties receive accurate and timely data. Traditionally, this has been a manual and labour-intensive process, with teams copying and pasting prices into multiple platforms or sending updates via chat systems. These inefficiencies can slow down market engagement and introduce errors.
ipushpull provides a real-time, automated solution that eliminates these bottlenecks. By integrating directly with trading systems, we ensure that price data is delivered instantly to the right participants. This increases efficiency, reduces the risk of human error, and allows trading teams to focus on higher-value activities.
As one of our customers from TP ICAP’s Rates and Equities team put it:
“We had spent years trying to build a decent live price screen for our clients. With ipushpull, it took just a matter of weeks to deliver live prices directly into our clients' desktops and workflows.”
- Dave Tranter, TP ICAP
Price Publishing: Accuracy, Compliance, and Control
Beyond delivery, firms need a structured and controlled approach to publishing prices. Whether publishing internally or externally to clients, controlling access and ensuring it is delivered in real time without error is important to ensure a strong reputation for data accuracy.
ipushpull ensures that price publishing is managed effectively, allowing firms to validate, distribute, and track published data effortlessly.
A prime example of this is TMX Trayport, which has leveraged ipushpull’s capabilities to best support their customers to deliver data with stringent controls.
