Introduction

Successful companies become successful because they focus on their core revenue-generating activities. Yet, every business has non-core activities that need to be managed. This can include complicated tasks like how to design the layout of your office for the most efficient workflow, to simple tasks like making sure there is enough printer toner to last you till the end of the month!

One thing is for sure, if you are spending time on non-core issues, you are losing money for two reasons:

1. You are not focusing where you should be focusing, that is,
    on that product or system or service that you deliver to your
    clients; your core revenue-generating activities.

2. You probably won’t have the expert know-how on how to get
    the best value for money from your office equipment, staff
    and workflow systems.

If you are serious about your business, then you should be serious about outsourcing your non-core activities to Afroteq.

Afroteq’s solid track record and positive growth plan make it the smart choice in Facilities Management.

Measured, Tailored and Aligned

What is unique about Afroteq is that our facilities management programs result in quantitative measurables that truly support our client’s goals. (Please refer to our references for proof of this statement.)

Because Afroteq’s service offerings are diversified, we do not present outsourcing as the only answer to Facilities Management problems. Rather, we believe in the development of tailored solutions for each client’s specific business and set of circumstances.

Afroteq aims to align and streamline systems and processes within our client’s non-core business and by integrating the staff (people) who are interacting with one another (process) in the working environment (place).

What we offer

In Summary

  • The management of facilities operations
  • The support of our client’s non-core function through consulting and project management expertise
  • Strategic space planning, space design and implementation
  • Short FM training courses via the SETA registered Afroteq  Academy

Reduced Costs and Less Hassle

Our service delivery is aimed at the integration of people, place and process within our client’s non-core support areas, resulting in improved facilities services, reduced costs and less hassle.

Sustainable

Afroteq’s approach is one of transferring skills, educating both clients and service providers and ensuring that operations are appropriately resourced. One of the key enablers to achieving the desired results is the introduction of a Facilities Services Help Desk – a performance tracking and management tool.

Wide Open Spaces

Facilities design is considered to be the strategic component of Facilities Management, and Afroteq has dedicated experts in the field who assist our clients in the design, ergonomics, implementation and management of one of their most important assets – their space.

Technology

Once we put a system in place, it needs to be held together with facilities management software. We purposely do not keep pre-packaged software in stock; you may not need half of it. We are unique in that we research and source software that is applicable to your specifications.
