Amalto: Offering Comprehensive B2B Data Integration Services to the Oil and Gas Industry from the Fi

Mastery in sailing requires experience under varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge of sailboats, and an understanding of one’s surroundings. Jean-Pierre Foehn, Founder and Manager of Amalto portrays an interesting lesson in sailing that he applies to the way he runs his company. “When you steer your boat, you may have to move fast but you don't want to change tack too often, as this is how you lose momentum and speed. We are listening carefully to everything in the market, similar to feeling the wind and are trying to stay on course and stay focused,” asserts Foehn. Founded in 2005, Amalto enables organizations around the globe to exchange electronic documents in a quick, secure and cost-effective manner. With a focus on the Oil and Gas industry, Amalto serves companies which are active on the service side. “The average payment cycle for the service industry in the Oil and Gas sector is more than 100 days on average (from service delivery to payment) and by bringing our technology in the field and back office we contribute to reduce that cycle by 10 to 30 days that will have a huge impact on their cash flow and revenue,” says Foehn.
