SATS counters tight labour market with aggressive automation drive

Total expenditure 3.2% in FY15.

SATS will roll out an aggressive automation drive to drive growth and rein in costs in the tight labour market.

A report by OCBC Investment Research noted that SATS will pour cash to improve automation in both its Food Solutions (FS) and Gateway Services (GS) businesses.

"The key idea is to increase operating leverage such that workforce can be managed with higher business volume. For the FS segment, we believe revenue will continue be muted until air traffic volume picks up again," the report stated.

SATS reported that its total expenditure fell 3.2% to $1.58bn in FY15, on back of better cost management and a smaller headcount.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
