KEGMIL Bags $2.2 Million in Pre-Series A Funding to Modernize the Field Service Industry

FTV Labs Pte. Ltd. (KEGMIL), has secured SGD$2.2 million in a pre-Series A investment round, which was led by ME Innovation Fund L.P. and Origgin Capital. The funding round also saw participation from GHV Accelerator and GK-Plug and Play Indonesia.


KEGMIL is a cloud-based Field Service Management platform, provides companies with repair and maintenance services for mission-critical assets such as elevators, chillers, and other mechanical and electrical systems with the ability to automate and optimize their processes. The platform helps with scheduling, dispatch, execution, and reporting, making the management of repair and maintenance services more efficient.


The CEO of KEGMIL, Kelvin Ong, expressed his excitement about the investment and partnership with Mitsubishi Electric, a world leader in electrical and electronic equipment. He believes that with the increasing complexity of equipment and demand for technical services, the talent shortage and skills gap can be managed through technology.


With the fresh capital injection, the Singapore-headquartered company plans to accelerate its product roadmap and focus on key verticals such as construction, manufacturing, marine offshore, and renewable energy across Southeast Asia. The investment will allow KEGMIL to drive operational efficiency, improve service performance and revenue, and help companies retain tribal knowledge, thus reducing unnecessary on-site interventions.
