About the company

4First Technologies develops IoT hardware and software solutions that make gas consumption visible, predictable, and easier to manage. Its flagship 4FG-Monitor uses smart sensors to track gas cylinder levels in real time, allowing users to know the amount of gas remaining inside their cylinders, monitor consumption, understand usage patterns, predict when their supply will run low, and receive alerts through a mobile application. The system also includes an on-site smart display that allows anyone using the gas to see the current gas status directly from the kitchen without needing to access the mobile application. In emerging markets, millions of homes, restaurants, businesses, and institutions such as hospitals depend on LPG and clinical oxygen delivered in cylinders, yet users often have no reliable way to know the volume of gas that remains until it is completely depleted, often at the most inconvenient time. The company has built an end-to-end gas management platform that connects real-time cylinder monitoring with digital gas procurement. When supply is running low, users can receive alerts and conveniently order a refill from verified local gas providers through the platform, creating a direct connection between gas consumers and suppliers. The proprietary hardware monitor is the key to the system, transforming a traditional gas cylinder into a connected, intelligent asset while providing users with real-time visibility into their gas supply and enabling timely refill decisions.
