With the introduction of an ERP system, ASOPROPIMOPLA has streamlined administrative operations, enabling efficient financial and logistical oversight crucial for sustainable growth.ASOPROPIMOPLA’s governance structure now includes specialized administrative and operational units, supporting around 58 employees, mostly members.
