The partnership will allow APRO to combine G Element’s leading technology solution with our best-in-class execution capabilities, from design through implementation and delivery.
The Senfi integration platform enables our highly-skilled system operators to manage silo IOT / Smart FM systems in a unified platform, enhancing the productivity of system operators in monitoring and responding to system alerts across the Facilities Management (FM) environment. With the fast-rising cost of labour in our current operating environment, APRO believes that this is just the advantage it needs to compete in an increasingly cost-sensitive built-environment sector.
We look forward to a fruitful partnership with our friends at G Element, by delivering on cutting-edge digital twin solutions in the built environment sector for our clients.”

About APRO Asian Protection
Three decades ago, APRO embarked on its journey in Singapore, emerging as a leading manpower guarding security business under the ownership of two multinational giants. Initially, Inchcape Bhd held a 51% stake while TEAB Security Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Swedish Telecom, owned the remaining 49%.
In 1991 and again in 2008, APRO underwent significant transformations through Management Buyouts, led by Bobby and Geok, transitioning into a fully Singaporean-owned and managed entity. Despite the departure of Inchcape and the Swedish Telecom subsidiary, their influence remained embedded within APRO’s DNA, enriching the company with best practices in Operations and Human Resource Management.
The evolution from multinational ownership to a proudly Singaporean identity has empowered APRO to better serve its clientele. With a comprehensive understanding of local culture coupled with insights gleaned from international expertise, APRO stands as a beacon of excellence in the security industry.
