Facilities and infrastructure management software have been gaining increasing attention and recognition for the crucial role it plays to create efficiency and cost savings in an organization. Challenges like availability of manpower, growing real estate and property management market, large unorganized segment Growth in BPO, IT and ITeS sectors are driving the market of facilities and infrastructure management software (FMS). Majority of the vendors providing FMS Software fail to ensure proper utilization of available infrastructure in the host company and consequently end up with poor capacity utilization. This quandary is the result of the lack of focus on all the areas of facilities management. SatNav Technologies, headquartered in Hyderabad, has established a foothold in the area of FMS by transforming business processes and maximizing assets and savings. The company leverages a-mantra, which is an office Efficiency Enhancement suite to help companies manage the complete infrastructure by first mapping them in detail and then tracking the day to day utilization from procurement till disposal, including daily transactions.

SatNav’s focus is not confined to only one or two areas of facilities management but focused upon end-to-end activities that are out needing any other tool. Also, a-mantra is built from the domain inputs of Facilities Managers and aptly suits the needs of similar processionals in the customer organization”, says Amit Prasad, Founder & CEO at SatNav Technologies. The FM service has emerged out of practice because of a clear need to focus on the elaborate and expensive facilities that crucially support the activities of most businesses. Owing to such business scenarios, organizations today seek FMS software which can provide unique features but at a very cost effective price. SatNav’s a-mantra while meeting all these requirements is also capable of providing personalized customization during implementation to suit the needs of admins at a lower cost. “When compared with other large and even smaller players, we offer implementation processes and post implementation support that is better than most offerings in the industry”, adds Amit.
