Spotware partners with Intivion on cTrader CRM and cBridge package. Thursday, 20/08/2026 | 01:33 GMT-7 by Damian Chmiel * AltimaCRM will combine client and trading data while Intivion adds Spotware's liquidity bridge to its product lineup. Spotware Systems partnered with Intivion today (Thursday) to connect the AltimaCRM client-management system with cTrader. Intivion will also add Spotware's cBridge liquidity bridge to its broker technology lineup. Brokers buying the package could use one data flow for trading activity, onboarding and client communications. cTrader and the CRM would still come from separate vendors. AltimaCRM joins client and trading data. AltimaCRM is designed to handle sales, onboarding, retention and back-office work for FX, CFD and prop trading firms. The integration will bring cTrader account and trading data into the same system as a client's contact record, the companies said. The AltimaCRM product page lists email, chat, SMS and voice communications inside the CRM. Intivion also offers partner and introducing-broker management, including referral tracking and commission automation. cBridge is a separate part of the arrangement. Intivion will offer the standalone bridge alongside its existing products, giving clients access to Spotware's liquidity connectivity and execution system. Spotware launched cBridge in March and later added cTrader Leads, which routes prospective traders from Spotware's apps and marketplace to participating brokers. Spotware describes cBridge as fixed-price but has not published the fee in this announcement. Spotware has used the CRM route before. CRM connectivity is already part of cTrader's partner model. Spotware and Skale began integrating their products in 2020 and added single sign-on between cTrader and Skale CRM in September 2023. TeamForce Technologies completed another cTrader CRM integration in July 2025. That system joined onboarding, know-your-customer checks, affiliate management and account administration without requiring brokers to replace their trading setup. The Intivion agreement has a wider commercial scope because it also puts cBridge into the CRM vendor's product catalog. Spotware did not name AltimaCRM as its sole CRM option. "Modern brokerages need technology that works as one business foundation," Spotware Chief Operating Officer Yiota Hadjilouka said. Spotware says cTrader serves more than 11 million traders and over 300 brokers and prop firms. The figures are self-reported and do not identify how many traders are active or hold accounts with more than one cTrader broker. Rivals pitch unified broker stacks. Spotware is retaining a multi-vendor structure: it supplies the trading and liquidity technology while Intivion owns the CRM. That preserves a choice of components but leaves integration and support divided between providers unless the commercial agreement says otherwise. Devexperts followed a comparable partner route with TradeCore. In January 2026, DXtrade extended its BrokerIQ integration to mobile, adding single sign-on and client-engagement workflows across desktop and mobile. Match-Trade Technologies sells a more vertically integrated alternative. Its Match-Trader environment combines the trading interface with CRM, payments and know-your-customer tools from the same vendor ecosystem, according to FinanceMagnates.com's 2026 broker-platform guide. Commercial details stay open. The announcement describes cBridge as a separate product that Intivion will offer. It does not say that AltimaCRM will control the bridge or display liquidity and execution data from it. Spotware and Intivion did not specify which cTrader data fields will synchronize with AltimaCRM, how quickly records will update or where the combined data will be hosted. The announcement also gives no service-level agreement or support model. Those details determine whether an "all-in-one" package behaves like one operating system or three connected products. Brokers will also need to establish which vendor handles faults that cross the CRM, platform and bridge. Intivion was founded in 2006. Its wider brokerage suite includes a client portal, introducing-broker system, prop trading system and voice communications alongside AltimaCRM. The companies did not disclose pricing, a rollout date, technical documentation or a first broker customer. They also did not say whether the three products will be sold under one contract.

The appointment brings one of the brokerage technology industry's most experienced engineering leaders into amana as competition among brokers increasingly shifts from products and pricing to technology capabilities. Artamonov founded Lisbon-based consultancy TripleA Digital after leaving Devexperts, focusing on automation and artificial intelligence for financial and operational workflows, experience that aligns with accelerating investments in AI, automation, cloud infrastructure and proprietary trading platforms across Middle East brokers.

At amana, Artamonov's responsibilities include application development, corporate IT, business intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and platform operations.

His responsibilities span far more than software development, effectively covering the entire technology infrastructure of the business. The appointment suggests amana intends to accelerate development of its proprietary technology rather than relying solely on third-party infrastructure. Brokerage industry shifts competitive focus from pricing to engineering capability. Technology has become one of the main competitive battlegrounds among brokers. Execution quality, platform stability, artificial intelligence, analytics, onboarding and automation increasingly determine client acquisition and retention. Technology leadership has moved from supporting the business to helping define business strategy. Across the brokerage industry, firms are increasingly recruiting senior technology executives from platform providers, exchanges and financial infrastructure companies. The objective is to shorten development cycles while building differentiated products that cannot easily be replicated by competitors using identical third-party technology. Many retail brokers have recently announced AI initiatives ranging from conversational assistants to automated market analysis and intelligent portfolio tools. Executive commentary on technology investment and regional growth. Muhammad Rasoul, Chief Executive Officer of amana, said: "Technology has always been at the heart of what we do. As we continue to grow, we're investing in the people who can help us build faster, smarter and at a much larger scale. Andrey has spent his career developing technology for some of the world's leading financial institutions, and we're excited to have him join the team as we continue raising the bar for our clients." Artamonov added: "amana has built an impressive platform and a strong brand across the MENA region. I see a real opportunity to build technology that not only supports the company's growth but also helps set a new standard for investing and trading in the region. I'm excited to get started." amana serves 500,000 users across MENA with 6,800 financial instruments. amana serves more than 500,000 users across the Middle East and provides access to more than 6,800 financial instruments.

The appointment illustrates how competition among brokers is increasingly centered on engineering rather than simply pricing or product breadth.
