Litro Gas utilising technology to connect with consumers through a new app

 



Litro Gas has always striven to maintain a close relationship with its customers as the nation's leading domestic gas supplier. That partnership has acquired a new and tech-driven dimension with the launch of the Litro Gas app recently. Litro Gas has a market share of 75 per cent and a consumer base of 4 million. Litro’s tremendous strength in the industry, achieved and increased, translates into a broad scope across Sri Lanka, giving the business a unique advantage – unparalleled customer access.

The Litro Gas, consumer distribution system, has entered a new phase of growth and access with the Litro Gas app, enabled by a robust customer-centric strategy at work through a network of 35 distributors located islandwide, 1,500 home delivery hubs, and 11,000 points of sale locations. The Litro Gas app, recently introduced to communicate seamlessly with customers, allows the customer to be in charge of the entire distribution process, allowing them to participate in an on-demand mode with the company. "A core role for us in everything we do is the use of technology to get closer to our customers," said Anil Koswatte, Chairman and CEO of Litro Gas Lanka Ltd. and Litro Gas Terminal Lanka.

"The launch of the Litro Gas app adds considerable value to our customer-centred approach in an age where consumers opt to use their mobile or technology device to communicate with the services they need." Litro Gas brings a unique legacy to Sri Lanka's energy sector, one that blends its global history with the status of state-owned enterprise efficiently operated.

“It's a combination that has proven to be a tremendous private-public partnership textbook example, based explicitly on maximising consumer service at many levels of interaction. Providing our customers with domestic gas facilities may be a practical aspect of our business—still used for a family-centred purpose, close to every family's core.”

Koswatte reiterates that we appreciate the significance of the engagement, expressed in our thought about using technology to communicate with our customers on a one-to-one basis. For a business with a turnover of Rs. 45 billion, technology is an asset, guiding every aspect of the organisation and motivating a large and productive team to produce excellent results to customers while ensuring that best practices in security and industry take into account.

Owned by the General Treasury through the Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, Litro Gas Lanka Ltd. (LGLL) and Litro Gas Terminal Lanka Ltd. (LGTL) distinguish operating as a corporate body with a specified collection of principles focused on the achievement of core competencies.  Litro Gas continues to champion standards that had guided its success story from the outset when the government bought Royal Dutch Shell in 1995. Over the years, the company, run by a highly skilled team of 234 employees, has grown into a powerhouse of promise and outstanding performance.

OSL Take: Sri Lanka's domestic LP gas market is currently facing a shortage due to the shortfall in supply by the second player in the Sri Lankan market. The state-operated LP gas distributor has now compelled to make emergency purchases. Authorities in Sri Lanka face issues in their LP gas supply chain due to the existing duopoly. Foreign LP gas suppliers could explore business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka's LP gas market by either supplying LP gas or even looking at proposing the entry of a third entrant to the domestic market.
