Galana Energies
Stronger Governance for a Stronger Fuel Network
- Client: Galana Energies
- Industry: Oil & Gas Retail, Fuel Distribution
- Region: Kenya
Summary
Galana Energies, one of Kenya’s fastest-growing fuel retail chains, required a unified and digital-first operations model to manage its expanding network of stations. Orane Consulting implemented SAP GROW Public Cloud to establish a robust retail backbone—eliminating manual stock tracking, accelerating dealer settlements, and enabling centrally governed fuel pricing with real-time visibility. By integrating SAP with tanker logistics, POS systems, and retail inventories, the solution drastically improved operational compliance, minimized unauthorized fuel variance, and empowered data-driven decisions across the distribution ecosystem. The transformation positioned Galana Energies for scalable, profitable expansion across Kenya’s competitive fuel retail market.
