Tork EasyCube improves
cleaning efficiency for Unilever Tork EasyCube has helped global consumer goods company Unilever to significantly improve cleaning efficiency at its Hamburg headquarters.
The multinational has cut the number of daily cleaning rounds at its offices by 25% since installing Tork EasyCube. And the system has also led to happier cleaners, better- stocked washrooms and enhanced user satisfaction.
The company’s nine-storey Hamburg office building has received awards for sustainability and innovative design. But maintaining high standards of cleaning is a daily challenge in such a busy office where the washrooms are used by up to 5,000 people on an average weekday.
However, since installing more than 260 connected Tork EasyCube devices throughout its offices Unilever has managed to cut the number of cleaning rounds from 90 to 68 per day. And the company reports that its cleaners are less stressed now they have the assurance that soap, towel and toilet paper supplies will be available 100% of the time.
Sodexo holds the contract to clean 10 | TOMORROW’S FM
the 38,000m² Unilever building. Marc Mrotzek, Head of Cleaning and Infrastructure at Sodexo, said: “As a leading facility management company we are always looking for innovations that optimise our services and increase our clients’ quality of life. Tork EasyCube has enabled us to both improve customer satisfaction levels and increase our efficiency.”
Tork EasyCube is a facilities management software that uses sensors placed in washroom dispensers and on doors to monitor refill levels and visitor traffic. This enables staff to check remotely via a tablet or smartphone when a dispenser runs out or when user traffic is particularly high –a factor that could indicate that a maintenance check is required.
By reducing the number of cleaning rounds from 90 to 68 the company has been able to free up cleaning staff for other tasks, allowing them to provide a better service for customers.
A new Value Quantification Tool is now available to allow potential clients to calculate exactly how much they could save by using the facility management software. The tool can be accessed at:
