What is data-driven cleaning?

When cleaning staff and their managers get real-time data about cleaning needs, the very logic for how cleaning can be done changes. It becomes possible to stay ahead and do exactly what’s needed when and where. Handling A complex facility like a hospital or university is transformed into a fact-based science. Welcome to the era of data-driven cleaning.

How can Data-Driven Cleaning benefit your business?

Real-time data on actual cleaning needs makes it possible to dramatically improve cleaning operations in three important ways:
1

Take your staff to maximum efficiency

Knowing exactly what’s needed means no time is wasted. More time means your team can go the extra mile when cleaning. Managers can feel safe that nothing is neglected, and analyze data over time to improve planning, purchasing and logistics.
2

Boost staff engagement

Your people are your most important resource. Work feels meaningful when they know that every task matters, and better control means less stress and a more balanced working situation.
3

Set a new standard of customer satisfaction

Data-driven cleaning enables higher quality – no more empty dispensers and untidy areas. Instead it becomes possible to eliminate complaints and radically increase customer satisfaction.

Data-driven cleaning creates a world-class entertainment experience

Located on Lake Michigan, Navy Pier is one of the top-attended nonprofit cultural destinations in the Midwest, stretching more than six city blocks. Pressure is constant on the facility management team to maintain a spotless image. This venue shifted to data-driven cleaning with Tork EasyCube™ intelligent facility cleaning system. We talked to J.R. Westveer, Aramark General Manager, about the impact on their business with Navy Pier.

Why is cleaning so important?

Navy Pier is a combination of an amusement park, food court, mall and convention center all in one… But we are also much more than that - we consider ourselves a global attraction with millions of visitors. Everyone who visits the venue uses the restroom at least once, if not more. An untidy venue would have an immediate affect on everyone, and even the smallest imperfection can have a huge impact on our reputation and relationship with our client.

What were your challenges before?

Synchronizing our cleaning efforts with inconsistent visitor flow and major events did not work as well as we wanted. Even if the grounds were kept clean, we would still get complaints about things like empty dispensers or paper on the floor in the restrooms.
 
“We have the visibility to improve cleaning efforts and be proactive with real-time data.”

With the ability to clean an area before it became a problem, the staff feels like they are making an impact on customer satisfaction and efficiency.
