Views about the Industry
Synchronos is of the opinion that home automation in India is creating numerous opportunities for both Indian and international companies. Currently, the residential customers are dominating the market, whereas in product category, the security market is the clear winner.
In India, more than 50 percent of the home automation market is covered by Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Bangalore. In order to be a part of this fast growing industry and to make a positive mark, a company has to be consistent and should provide continuous efforts towards accomplishing their objective of a customer centric approach.
- Companies offering their services to all the segments like lighting, security, audio/video, and HVAC.
- Companies solely catering to lighting.
- DIY (Do It Yourself) product based companies offered by dealers.
- DIY product based companies that are present only across the online market.
The above mentioned segments make it very difficult for customers to select a specific service provider as there is significant price variation in the service provided. Synchronos team not only sells products to their clients, but also informs them about the available options and offers a solution.
Going Toe-to-Toe with the Competition
The company states that around 85 percent of home owners make daily use of security systems like CCTV and burglar alarms. But it often happens that after installation these systems are seldom used. This results in their inefficient performance. Moreover, in addition to negligence of maintenance by users, the system providers also fail to deliver efficient services due to negligence and relaxed attitude.
Mohammad Umair asserts that Synchronos gives utmost importance to customer satisfaction and security. Accordingly, the company employs intelligent systems to study client’s usage patterns and study their preferences. They provide advanced security technologies, for example, if someone goes out, the burglar system gets activated automatically. Also, the home owner’s lighting and other devices are regulated in their absence so as to discourage thefts much before its attempt. This technology also informs the home owners about any suspicious activity near the house. The company delivers integrated user experience by combining customer security and the convenience of automation at just a button’s click.
Delivering Simplified Home Solutions
The company feels that home automation can provide a variety of facilities to the customers ranging from security, convenience, and ease of use.
