IKUN is the only company in the industry that has developed a system to manage and account for the intricacies of “physical” gas operations in the Western U.S. IKUN’s proprietary GDAS software (Gas Data Analysis System) captures and analyzes a number of disparate data sources to ensure customer usage and gas pool “imbalances” are accurate. The ability to quickly and accurately obtain “usable” usage and balancing information is critical when purchasing natural gas. IKUN’s tools significantly optimize the forecasting and procurement process by integrating disparate data sources into a single repository that is combined with all the external sources of gas market & pricing data. IKUN then incorporates custom analytics to make sense of all this data.
