Settlement Services – The APX MarketSuite provides a web-viewable settlement statement that gives clients the ability to quickly understand, warehouse, and navigate through the volumes of data from standard ISO statements. The application brings together client-supplied data captured by APX systems and ISO statement data to allow clients to view settlement data at the highest granularities. Clients can access settlement statements 24 hours a day from any computer via a standard browser, utilizing secure login access through the APX website. This service is provided through proprietary APX technology and available ISO sources.

Settlement Estimation – APX can provide preliminary estimates of ISO charges prior to the production and release of an actual settlement statement from the ISO.

Settlement Validation – APX can provide validation of the accuracy of the ISO charges that appear on an actual settlement statement from the ISO. APX can recalculate the charges using the ISO settlement statement's supporting files and client-supplied internal data to help ensure that the payment and charge methodology applied by the ISO complies with the algorithms and provisions set forth in the ISO Tariff.

Dispute Resolution Support – APX can provide submission of disputes for APX clients. This includes researching and data gathering, submitting the dispute by ISO deadlines, monitoring dispute progress and resolving disputes through a methodical approach, interacting with the ISO as an agent and supporting mediation.
