EGAS_ERP is an Internet-based software designed as a data concentrator and helps management bodies at all levels access to information from afar through smart devices such as laptop, tablet, and smart phones, timely satisfying demands for information for production and business management.

As planned, the software is applied within 12 months as of January 2016. The system is expected to go live in the whole system of the Lao State Fuel Company on January 1, 2017.
