Stop Chasing Data: Build One Source of Truth for Gas Trading and Transportation

For gas utilities, accurate invoices start with accurate measurement. When measurement data does not flow directly into scheduling, allocations, and invoicing, the gaps fill with manual entry, and manual entry creates errors. Lindsey Saunders, Senior Solution Architect at Quorum Software, and Kirsten Pittman, Business System Analyst at Black Hills Corp., walk through how Quorum’s pipeline transaction management solution, My Quorum Pipeline (QPTM), and Quorum’s measurement management solution, FLOWCAL, close those gaps through one connected workflow.

Measurement Is the Root of Every Invoice

Disconnected systems do not just create extra work. They create compounding risk. Copy-paste errors enter the data. Invoices get generated from different inputs than what drove allocations. Month-end close becomes a reconciliation exercise instead of a confirmation.

“What you really need is one operational record that the whole organization can trust.” — Lindsey Saunders, Senior Solution Architect, Quorum Software

When FLOWCAL measurement data feeds directly into QPTM, it drives scheduling, nominations, allocations, and invoicing from a single source. Accuracy at the root carries through every downstream step. Invoices trace back to the same data as allocations, and prior-period adjustments have a clear, auditable trail.

One Update. Every System.

The Enrollments module in QPTM automates service point changes across QPTM and the connected customer information system (CIS) via API. A change made in the Enrollments screen end-dates the existing service point, opens the new one, and communicates with CIS automatically. When measurement data arrives from FLOWCAL, it is already assigned to the right account. In Kirsten Pittman’s words: one and done.

What used to require coordination across multiple systems and manual follow-up now resolves in a single action. The integration also monitors itself. When something does not transfer correctly, automated notifications surface the issue in real time with detail on who acted, when, and what occurred. Problems get resolved before customers report them.

When measurement, scheduling, and invoicing run from a single connected workflow, the question shifts from "is this data right?" to "what do we do with it?"—and that is where operators find their edge.
