About Numera
Built by people who know the industry.
Numera was created by a team with decades of hands-on experience in energy trading - solving real problems, not imagined ones.
The founders
Nick Perrott
Nick Perrott brings over 30 years of software development experience across retail, investment, central banking, and energy sectors. In 2004, he began focusing on consulting within the Openlink Findur/Endur universe - building solid and dependable risk management systems for some of Europe's largest energy trading firms across a series of successful engagements. As the architect behind Numera, Nick combines deep technical expertise with a genuine understanding of the real-world challenges in the ETRM space.
Ventsislav Topuzov
Ventsislav Topuzov brings over 19 years of experience in the energy sector. He began his consulting career in 2005 on a post-privatization restructuring project for a Bulgarian utility serving over 1.1 million customers, before joining OpenLink in Berlin - the company behind Endur. In 2013 he co-founded ROITI, which has grown into a flourishing full-service IT consultancy working with some of Europe's biggest energy trading firms. His deep industry knowledge and ROITI's track record laid the foundation for what would become Numera.
Our story
BGK Analytics and ROITI joined forces to build Numera - an innovative data warehouse solution designed specifically for the energy trading industry. The first implementation was with EWE Trading GmbH, one of Germany's leading energy traders.
Over the past decade, Nick Perrott and ROITI's principals had collaborated on various energy consulting projects across Europe. Their shared experience - and many late nights at various Brauhauser in Germany - shaped a common vision for what modern energy trading data infrastructure should look like.
The rise of cloud-based data stacks and the evolving demands of the energy business created the opportunity. Numera was born to meet those new requirements in risk reporting and data management - in a cost-effective, scalable way.
First implementation
EWE Trading GmbH - one of Germany's leading energy traders - was the first company to implement Numera, validating the solution in a demanding real-world environment.
The foundation
Numera addresses Endur pain points while offering solutions for the changing demands of energy businesses - all built on modern cloud infrastructure with a very cost-effective footprint.
How Numera came to be
Numera started as a product born out of years of hands-on work in the Endur ecosystem - a direct response to the data challenges that energy trading firms face every day. Originally developed through the collaboration between Nick Perrott's BGK Analytics and ROITI's consulting expertise, Numera has since evolved into a standalone product under BGK Analytics.
While its roots are in Endur, Numera has grown beyond that - today it supports integration with any ETRM software, connecting to a wide range of source systems, data formats, and cloud environments.
While ROITI continues its work as a leading energy IT consultancy, BGK Analytics exists for one purpose: to build and grow Numera as the data warehouse of choice for the energy trading industry.
BGK - wait, what does that stand for?
One name. Two countries. One mission.
Behind every good product, there's a good story. BGK Analytics takes its name from two places - BG for Bulgaria, and K for Kiwi, a nod to New Zealand. Two countries, one shared belief: that energy trading deserves better data infrastructure. That belief became Numera.
Roadmap
Short-term
Exporting all Endur data
The immediate focus is exporting all data from Endur - including granular schedule data down to 15-minute intervals for power markets. This enables detailed P&L calculations by delivery period and supports intraday algo trading strategies.
Mid-term
Integrating renewable energy
Numera is integrating CerQlar - the leading system for Guarantee of Origin deal management. This brings together Endur and CerQlar data in one place, eliminating the need for separate platforms in renewable certificate reporting.
Long-term
AI-powered analytics
With an established customer base, the next step is advanced services - machine learning models built on Snowflake's AI capabilities, alternative valuations for delta positions, and real-time P&L perspectives trained on source data.
