Restroom maintenance is a major part of a Building Service Contractor's cleaning operation. Restroom require cleaning, disinfecting, and restocking throughout the day in commercial buildings, schools, and other facilities.
But supply chain issues and staffing constraints has put a strain on cleaning operations across the country. To combat these problems, BSCs are looking for ways to optimize and streamline their cleaning operation. One way to do this is by incorporating smart restroom dispensers. Smart technology that provides real-time data can make a cleaning operation more efficient and effective. Here are some ways in which smart restroom dispensers will benefit BSC's.
71% of tenants blame building management for a poor restroom experience. This means that BSCs need to make restroom maintenance a top priority. Not only is restroom cleanliness a reflection of the business, it is also a reflection of the level of service a BSC is providing their client.
Smart restroom dispensers can help create a positive restroom experience for tenants and reduce complaints. These dispensers not only can tell a facility manager when restroom supplies are low, they can also track restroom usage, prevent product waste, and help manage cleaning schedules.
No-touch faucets, soap dispensers, and paper towel dispensers make restrooms more hygienic and safer, which was especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic. But smart technology is more than just automatic. Smart restroom dispensers can help BSCs with:
With these dispensers, janitorial staff will only replace supplies when they are needed. The data collected by the connected technology will also alert facility managers to the frequency each bathroom is being used. They will then use this information to create enhanced cleaning schedules to complete restroom maintenance at the best time for each location throughout the day.
Commercial facilities that are trying to incorporate green technology should consider smart restroom dispensers because they provide better control of product waste and usage. Lighting sensors will help reduce energy usage, smart dispensers will help control product usage, and smart data will help prevent premature restocking.
The data collected over time by smart restroom dispensers will make cleaning and disinfecting more efficient in your operation. BSCs can use this data to optimize their scheduling so that employees clean when it is most efficient and effective. The data will also help them concentrate on high-traffic restrooms more frequently so that restroom cleanliness is consistent in your facility.
Tenants aren't the only people complaining about restroom cleanliness. Customers and guests in your facility will judge your business based on their experience in your restrooms. That is why it is imperative for your reputation that you invest in smart restroom dispensers to prevent out-of-stock supplies or lack of cleanliness from hurting your business reputation.
Clean well-stocked restrooms benefit everyone. They show that BSCs are living up to their SLA, and they show that businesses are invested in protecting their employees, tenants, and customers.
