Samart Telcoms Subsidiary Secures 695 Million Baht Government Lottery Contract
Portalnet, a subsidiary of Samart Telcoms, has been awarded a contract to implement an ERP system for the Government Lottery Office.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 25, 2026, Portalnet Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Samart Telcoms PCL, has successfully secured a government contract worth 695 million baht. The project involves the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for the Government Lottery Office (GLO).
This contract represents a significant infrastructure upgrade for the state-run lottery organization, aimed at modernizing its internal management and operational processes. For residents and business observers in Thailand, this development highlights the ongoing digital transformation within state enterprises, which often involves large-scale technology procurement from established local firms.
While the contract has been awarded, specific details regarding the implementation timeline and the expected completion date of the ERP system have not been publicly disclosed. Furthermore, the impact of this system on the efficiency of lottery distribution or the potential for future digital lottery initiatives remains to be confirmed. As this is a business-to-government procurement project, it does not directly affect the daily lives of tourists, though it underscores the scale of technological investment currently occurring within Thailand's public sector.
