KUALA LUMPUR, 8 December – UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta”), the region's leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company, today announced that its subsidiary, Edgenta GreenTech Sdn Bhd (“EGTSB”), has been awarded a landmark, multi-year contract to provide comprehensive Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) services for Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd‘s (Shell) extensive nationwide network of petrol and retail stations.
This strategic partnership establishes UEM Edgenta as the single, centralised provider responsible for the inclusive planning, coordination, and management of all facility maintenance, repair works, and capital projects across the Shell network. The agreement signals a shift beyond traditional maintenance, prioritising a strategic focus on asset lifecycle management, operational optimisation, and the pursuit of safety excellence.
Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, Shaiful Subhan, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta, commented, “Securing this comprehensive facilities management service contract with a global energy leader like Shell reinforces UEM Edgenta's leadership position in integrated, technology-driven asset management solutions. This partnership is a testament to the trust placed in our ability to deliver operational excellence at scale, driven by our commitment to sustainability and data integrity. We are focused on leveraging our proprietary digital platforms to optimise asset performance, ensuring that every Shell station is able to deliver on their 'Welcome to Shell' promise while setting the highest industry standards for safety and reliability.”
Central to this delivery model is the deployment of UEM Edgenta’s proprietary asset management platform, Asseto. This customisable system acts as an intelligent engine that leverages AI-driven data to anticipate failures before they occur. A key feature of the deployment is Asseto’s mobile app capability, which provides stakeholders with real-time operational insights delivered directly to their mobile devices. This ensures that decision-makers have immediate visibility into site conditions, allowing for rapid response and data-led decision-making. By moving from reactive repairs to data-driven foresight, the system ensures consistent site integrity, minimises downtime for essential services, and optimises the total cost of ownership for Shell.
The partnership is anchored by a firm commitment to Shell’s HSSE 'Goal Zero' campaign, aiming for zero harm and zero incidents. UEM Edgenta supports this critical mandate on the ground by deploying competent, professional resources and consistent operational controls to actively manage risk, ensuring continuity of safety standards and fostering a safety-first culture that aligns with Shell’s rigorous global requirements while at the same time providing a seamless and welcoming environment.
Ir. Vekneswaran T. Arasappan, Head of Property & Facility Solutions, UEM Edgenta and Managing Director of Edgenta GreenTech Sdn Bhd, added, “By aligning our operational excellence framework with Asseto - our advanced ‘Company Mobility’ Asset Management system, and our uncompromising safety culture, we will not only optimize the lifecycle and performance of Shell’s assets but also ensure a consistently safe, welcoming environment for every customer. This contract underscores our commitment to integrated, technology-driven asset management and our role in reinforcing Shell’s position as a preferred petrol station, prioritising its customers first.”
This collaboration represents a pivotal milestone in the evolution of facilities management within the energy retail sector. As the nation’s largest asset management company, UEM Edgenta is uniquely positioned to support Shell’s operational goals through this technology-enabled partnership. By integrating data-driven insights with a steadfast commitment to safety and sustainability, this agreement not only optimises the performance of Shell’s assets but also redefines the standard for service delivery across the industry, ensuring long-term value for stakeholders and patrons alike.
