For traders
Your operational backbone. Without a conflict of interest.
You trade biomethane and need operational capacity that scales with you. What you do not need is a service provider who sees your volumes and calls the same sellers you do.
What matters
Why operations become the growth constraint.
- Starting point: Every additional plant and offtaker creates process effort that does not scale.The bikosigma answer: We take on operations as a variable service — scaling with your portfolio.
- Starting point: Certificate position and trading position live in separate systems and do not match.The bikosigma answer: Position, volumes and certificates are consolidated in biport and reconciled continuously.
- Starting point: Building back-office headcount is expensive and hard to staff in a specialist market.The bikosigma answer: You buy specialist capacity instead of building it.
- Starting point: Service providers with their own book are simultaneously competitors for plants and offtakers.The bikosigma answer: No portfolio of our own, no marketing of our own. We are never on the other side.
