LPG when you need it.
Delivered Intelligently

Starting in Harare, with a model designed to scale into a connected LPG distribution network.

The problem

LPG is useful. Access to it can be frustrating.

For many households, LPG access still depends on remembering to refill, finding stock, travelling to a refill point and managing unpredictable availability. The distribution experience is fragmented, while valuable consumption data remains largely untapped.

01

Unexpected run-outs

Customers can discover they are low on gas when they need it most.

02

Inconvenient refills

Refilling can require time, travel and uncertainty about availability.

03

Gas running out when it rains

A run-out during bad weather can turn a simple refill into a frustrating trip outside the home.

04

Lack of visibility on LPG tank level

Customers may not know how much LPG remains when refilling or while using the tank, making planning difficult.

05

Inconsistent LPG quality

Some LPG supplied can burn and run out quicker than customers expect, creating uncertainty over value and consumption.

06

Longer journeys with heavy empty tanks

Customers may have to walk or travel longer distances to find LPG, carrying heavy empty cylinders to and from refill points.

The GIU solution

We don't just sell LPG.
We build the service around it.

GIU combines LPG supply, doorstep distribution, subscriptions, digital transactions and—over time—smart metering and consumption intelligence.

Instead of every household relying on individual cylinder refills, LPG can be distributed through a managed network with centralised supply, metering and service support.
