Abstract:

This research explores the 'transformational' opportunity offered by the low-code development platform Oracle Apex in the functional setting of Indian GAS agencies. With the increasing demand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas in urban and rural areas of India, both legacy management systems have faced issues with scaling, data redundancy, and user interface responsiveness. This study uses an experimental dataset comprising 468 unique cases from different organisations to record operational changes that occurred before and after the deployment of an Apex-based solution. The research is quantitative, and the backend logic is developed in PL/SQL, while the Apex Universal Theme is used for the frontend. The performance KPIs explored are booking processing time, discrepancies between physical and computerised inventory numbers, and customer complaint handling time. Researchers are seeing fewer data-entry errors while also streamlining our delivery tracking. That allowed gas agencies to make workflow tweaks without significant coding overhead, thanks to rapid application development in Apex. The results indicate that the energy utility sector in developing economies has the potential to adopt low-code platforms as a cost-effective, agile alternative to inflexible enterprise resource planning systems.
