Before delving into the innovative features of Smart Cleaning Pro, it’s essential to understand the challenges facing the commercial cleaning sector today. In an era marked by heightened hygiene awareness, evolving space usage due to hybrid working, increased competition among service providers, and widespread skilled labour shortages, cleaning companies are under immense pressure to deliver exceptional service while maintaining tight profit margins. Moreover, the push for sustainability across all aspects of commercial building operations adds another layer of complexity to an already demanding industry. Cleaners are tasked with minimising material wastage and reducing reliance on chemicals that may have a harmful impact on indoor air quality and occupant well-being. In short, cleaning companies must now frequently do more with less, adhering to cost-cutting measures and corporate sustainability mandates while still delivering exceptionally clean and high-quality spaces that align with how commercial buildings are now used.
Developed from the ground up by Infogrid, a leader in building intelligence for commercial real estate and facilities management, Smart Cleaning Pro is more than just a cleaning solution—it's a comprehensive, end-to-end platform designed to optimise cleaning operations through the power of data, automation, and technology. Let’s explore some of Smart Cleaning Pro’s unique features.
At the heart of Smart Cleaning Pro is the ability to collect and analyse data in real time. Leveraging proprietary IoT hardware and wearable fobs co-developed to meet the unique needs of commercial cleaning organisations, Smart Cleaning Pro automatically captures live building occupancy data, providing managers with valuable insights into space usage and cleaning requirements. From washrooms to lobbies to custom-defined spaces, Smart Cleaning Pro enables cleaning managers to tailor their operations to meet the unique needs of each location and dynamically align cleaning with hybrid working patterns.
Custom SMS, email, and in-platform tasks can be configured based on space usage thresholds to alert on-site cleaning teams that cleaning is needed. With Smart Cleaning Pro, cleaning managers can adjust and optimise schedules, tailor cleaning needs for every floor and building based on space usage trends, and alert cleaning teams to on-the-spot proactive cleaning tasks caused by high space usage.
Smart Cleaning Pro leverages interactive LED wayfinding to guide cleaning teams to areas that need cleaning. Infogrid’s advanced hardware responds to the presence of a wearable fob and will flash a different colour based on low or high occupant usage, visually signalling whether a space needs to be cleaned and helping cleaning teams move efficiently through buildings.
Chief among Smart Cleaning Pro’s innovations is the application of advanced automation to streamline cleaning operations and reduce time spent on administrative work in software platforms. Smart Cleaning Pro’s intelligent sensors detect when cleaners are servicing a space and will automatically log that cleaning has occurred, closing out any open cleaning tasks and creating a hands-free digital audit trail that can be used to validate service delivery – all without cleaners on the ground needing to log into complex desktop software or apps.
Gone are the days of scattered data and time-consuming manual reporting. With Smart Cleaning Pro, cleaning managers gain access to a centralised platform for monitoring, managing, and analysing cleaning tasks across their entire client portfolio. From dynamic predictive cleaning to customisable reports, the platform empowers cleaning teams to optimise their operations for efficiency and effectiveness and easily report evidence of a job well done to clients and key stakeholders.
Recognizing that technology implementation can be daunting, Infogrid offers a seamless and supported installation process backed by dedicated technical quality assurance and customer success teams. From hardware installation to ongoing platform support, Infogrid ensures that cleaning companies can harness the full potential of Smart Cleaning Pro without having to navigate installation challenges or unresolved technical hurdles.
With rapid technological advancement and evolving market dynamics affecting many sectors, the commercial cleaning industry must adapt to thrive. Smart Cleaning Pro gives cleaning companies the opportunity to not only meet but exceed the expectations of their clients. By leveraging data-driven insights, seamless technology integration, and unparalleled support, Smart Cleaning Pro empowers commercial cleaners to deliver exceptional service while driving efficiency, sustainability, and growth.
