Ministries that have many departments involved with people’s daily payment of service fees should develop their own super-apps in three years to increase operating efficiency and ensure data security, said Benyapa Chalermwat, chief executive of Pro Inside.<\/p>\n

She said super-app development should not be concentrated on a few existing government apps to avoid the impact of an app disruption, adding a few existing apps have the potential to be further developed.<\/p>\n

Ms Benyapa said the ministries that should prioritise super-app development are interior and transport because they have many departments involved with people’s daily transactions, including service fee payment by people or enterprises.<\/p>\n

“Those ministries should develop their own super-apps and promote public awareness to access operations and services through the apps within three years at the latest,” she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Benyapa said development of the super-app scheme could be joined by state banks or financial institutions as well as private banks. She said Pro Inside is studying the business potential of the super-app development projects.<\/p>\n

The company is in talks with two large digital gateway providers in China as tentative partners to participate in super-app development projects for the government ministries. While the projects might not be high-value, they would support the country’s digital transformation and complement Pro Inside’s business portfolio, said Ms Benyapa.<\/p>\n

In a separate matter, Pro Inside submitted on April 18 a plan to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO) to the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

The company focuses on state agencies and enterprises, offering services related to security systems, big data, artificial intelligence-embedded solutions and the smart healthcare sector.<\/p>\n

“Funding via an IPO and becoming a listed company would benefit overall operations, making it easier to bid for larger state projects with a greater market capitalisation and enhanced reliability,” she said.<\/p>\n

Pro Inside booked total revenue of 674 million baht with a net profit 87 million in 2021. In 2022 it posted 642 million baht in revenue and net profit of 18 million.<\/p>\n

Ms Benyapa said profit declined in 2022 because of organizational restructuring after separating from its parent, SET-listed Sky ICT.
\nPro Inside holds a project backlog with combined value of 2 billion baht, she said.<\/p>\n

Pro Inside split off from Sky ICT in 2022 to handle all state project bids related to systems integration services.<\/p>\n

The company aims to become a major contributor to the parent group’s revenue stream in the future, said Ms Benyapa.<\/p>\n

Sky ICT holds a 91% stake in Pro Inside, which would be diluted to less than 60% after an IPO, she said.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Credit: Bangkokpost.com<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4109″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
