Press release: Aachen/Essen, 10 February 2026.
At E-world energy & water 2026, KISTERS, an IT provider specialising in the energy industry, unveiled BelVis+ PFM: a new portfolio management platform for European energy trading. Designed for energy traders, municipal utilities, service providers and industrial companies, this central tool for trading and portfolio decisions addresses the growing demands for automation, performance, IT security and scalability in electricity and gas trading. BelVis+ PFM follows a process-oriented approach designed for high trading frequencies and extensive automation. The platform provides a consistent view of positions, forecasts and market movements. It supports both the company´s own procurement and marketing activities and portfolio management as a service for third parties, creating a uniform, transparent working basis for all parties involved.
“Energy trading has changed fundamentally in recent years. Today, portfolio management today must support high frequencies with short-term decisions, a rapidly growing number of transactions and new service models in equal measure. With BelVis+ PFM, we have developed a platform that is designed precisely for this purpose – automated, scalable and process-oriented,” says Dr. Markus Probst, Head of the Energy Division at KISTERS. “Our pilot users report that they are saving several hours of manual work every day since using the new Short Term Cockpit.” BelVis+ PFM is part of the BelVis+ product family, which includes other well-established solutions for all market roles.
Portfolio management for third parties
Service providers can map multiple clients on a single platform thanks to multi-client capability, role and authorisation concepts, and transparent portfolio views.. Clients can view their portfolios, provide forecasts, and actively participate in processes. Consequently, portfolio management is evolving into an interaction platform rather than merely an internal management and control tool.
Internationally applicable and modularly expandable
BelVis+ PFM has a modular structure and follows an API-first approach. The platform currently supports trading markets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France. Other countries can be added within a short period of time.
Configurability instead of project effort
A key feature of BelVis+ PFM is its comprehensive integration of all relevant processes into the software. In most cases, users can adjust market formats, trading processes and import sources themselves, without need for customised development projects. Interfaces to external platforms are already integrated and can be easily activated. Individual customer systems can be connected via a flexibly configurable API.
Seamless transition from existing systems
For companies already using KISTERS PFM solutions, BelVis+ PFM offers structured and efficient migration options. Master data and transactions can be transferred step by step, and parallel operation enables a controlled transition. Existing systems remain synchronised throughout, ensuring an uninterrupted transition.
IT security, automation and interfaces
To ensure extremely high IT security, BelVis+ PFM undergoes continuous hardening, including regular security updates, CVE fixes and penetration tests. This is particularly important for operating as a multi-client service platform. BelVis+ PFM is based on a modern IT architecture and can be used in the cloud or on-premises. Scalability, ease of maintenance and regular updates form an integral part of the concept.
