The workplace has been changing for many years and the pandemic has only increased the focus on the “future of the office”. Technology has always been a key indicator of that change and a survey from McKinsey found COVID-19 has sped up the adoption of digital technologies by several years. While not surprising, it will be interesting to see which of those technologies are here to stay. With so many organisations investing in digitisation and embracing a hybrid approach to work, it can be tempting to jump on the bandwagon of the newest, shiniest solutions. This will be exacerbated by the change in outlook that the pandemic has brought. After more than a year of being so health-conscious, employees will want to return to workplaces that are obviously clean and well-maintained. Having expensive technology on-show is an easy way for employers to demonstrate that they care about their workplace. But it isn’t always a worthwhile investment. What to look for in great technology As we move out of the pandemic, organisations must take a step back to reflect on what they are trying to achieve. Building managers should understand how their offices will be used and tailor the technology accordingly. In sites that are primarily hosting clients, for example, active visitor management systems will be important, of course, but managers must think beyond this. From the moment a potential client enters a building, they will build an impression of the organisation. The finest details – from the tidiness and presentation of reception to the way they are greeted at the door – make a difference. Interconnected technology should be used to cross operational silos. Meeting rooms might need to be cleaned, tidied, and checked between each use so cleaning staff need to be aware of site schedules. Management systems may be used to remind staff to turn the heating or air conditioning on in a room in advance – or automate the process - to ensure the client is comfortable. The key, when looking to invest in technology, is to ensure it serves your business. Centralised systems Client sites must become more proactive in response to the pandemic. Cleaning services, for example, should be designed to cater to changing workplace occupancy levels throughout the week. This can easily be done by connecting cleaning workflow technology to workstation booking systems or occupancy sensors and collecting relevant data on usage. Cleaning workflows can also be tracked and centralised to improve transparency and accountability. In a time when health and safety is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, such systems are more important than ever. While the return to the office is unlikely to be as sudden as the exodus from it, numerous changes are being implemented, and employers should be aware of their responsibilities and the concerns of their staff. There are numerous technologies which can help alleviate those fears and keep staff safe. People have to be central to decisions around which technologies to implement and how solutions are deployed.

Q3 Services Group Ltd (Q3) has appointed cleaning software specialist, Clenetix, to provide ‘check in/out’ time and attendance monitoring for a national logistics company client. Clenetix’s time and attendance monitoring has been deployed at one of the logistics giant’s distribution centres on a rolling contract with Q3. The specialist software is expected to be rolled out across other sites over coming months. Clenetix was appointed because the cleaning management software was cost effective and simple to deploy, and clearly demonstrates cleaning hours delivered whilst eliminating time consuming admin. The software as a service from Clenetix also eliminates bottlenecks in the distribution centre as cleaning staff arrive at entry points making it a much more Covid-secure process. Cleaning operatives can immediately start their shift without clocking in/out, increasing productivity.

A look at technology in FM and how it has evolved and can help elevate the cleaning industry. Cleaning is about keeping us safe, well, and happy. To do that, we need the technology to clean effectively, efficiently, and transparently. Clenetix provides this capability day one!

Cleaning software specialist, Clenetix, launches cutting-edge software that provides ‘track and trace’ cleaning and air quality monitoring. The plug-and-play software supports Covid-secure cleaning operations and air quality ensuring they are fit for the needs of the location and footfall. The modular platform provides time and attendance monitoring, activity tracking, task list management, quality audit management and footfall tracking - this enables demand-based cleaning so cleaners can focus on the areas with highest traffic and increased risk of Covid transmission. The Clenetix app is deployed on cleaners’ smartphones and is configured to deliver specific cleaning instructions tailored to the location, whether that’s a hotel, bar, restaurant or event space, ensuring nothing is missed and the highest level of hygiene standards are maintained. The entire process is recorded so venue owners and managers can see a comprehensive record of exactly what was cleaned, and when. Clenetix’s ‘Last Cleaned’ functionality gives customers up to date information about when a location was last serviced by scanning a QR code on their smartphone. This level of transparency allows venues to demonstrate their commitment to cleanliness and increase confidence among its users. In partnership with Airthings for Business, the software’s air quality monitoring solution allows users to see live data about when there is virus risk in the air. The air quality monitoring module also gives owners and managers access to live air quality data about CO2, temperature, humidity, airborne chemicals, radon, light, occupancy, mould risk and air pressure levels. By understanding what is in the air, venue operators can make more intelligent decisions about improving ventilation and building maintenance to create a safer and healthier environment for staff and customers. The Insights Portal delivers valuable tips about how to reduce indoor air hazards, and floorplans can be uploaded for a visual overview of the air in buildings. Clenetix is a plug-and-play solution and sensors, that ‘talk’ to the mobile app, can be set up as part of a simple installation, without the need for any cabling or invasive installation. No disruption is caused to busy hospitality and leisure locations. As hospitality businesses open their doors over the coming months, Clenetix’s ability to track cleaning and monitor air quality will transform hygiene operations and elevate safety standards. The Clenetix Insights Portal provides transparent real-time data so hospitality and leisure venues can continue to operate with total assurance and peace of mind. Mark Hazelwood, director and co-founder, Clenetix said: “Many hospitality and leisure venues have been closed for so long and as much as there’s huge appetite to open, this also comes with increased risk and pressures of maintaining strict hygiene standards. The industry continues to face more tumult in the coming months. “Customers now have a heightened awareness of hygiene that is here to stay. Just because an area is free from dirt and grime, it does not mean it is sanitised and safe. Customers will be looking for evidence of cleaning measures and venues will need to be confident they can provide a safe environment and be able to demonstrate this. With hospitality and leisure venues receiving a high footfall, data-driven cleaning procedures and robust, Covid-secure measures have to be at the forefront as the sector relaunches itself.” --ends- About Clenetix Clenetix is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution designed especially for the cleaning industry.
