Thorough, high-quality cleanliness is pivotal to cultivating healthy, dynamic, and productive contemporary workplace environments. However, staffing constraints, low or inconsistent cleaning quality, and the rising expectations of in-office workers make it more challenging than ever to rise to standard operating procedures (SOPs). And when cleaning service teams’ days are filled with monotonous, dull, and occasionally dangerous tasks, many operations leaders see a negative impact on employee engagement, work-related injuries, and productivity at large.
As operational costs continue their upward trajectory, workplace maintenance and cleaning leaders face even greater pressure to solve their labor challenges, optimize their resources, and motivate custodial staff within their available budgets.
The solution? Integrated office-cleaning robots, such as Whiz and Scrubber 50 Pro, help workplace custodial teams deliver a more consistent and superior quality of cleanliness, whether vacuuming carpeted conference rooms or scrubbing and dust mopping hard floors. Reallocating these repetitive yet critical cleaning duties to your service robotics frees up your staff for higher value-based activities, like sanitizing group and individual workspaces, which ultimately contribute to an improved workforce experience.
In this case study, discover how our partnership with Core Facility Services eased cleaning challenges and improved cleaning operations by:
The modern office building requires superior quality and consistency of service to win employer accolades and keep employees healthy and focused. Our commercial-grade solutions are engineered to execute tasks more efficiently and stay always “up to date,” thanks to cutting-edge AI capabilities and responsive navigation. Operating system updates occur while your robots work, so you can enjoy continuous improvement to robot capabilities without service interruptions.
Powered by their intuitive design and automated services, our office solutions work in concert with your existing staff and require minimal supervision. The end result? You accomplish 100% of the tasks outlined in your SOPs. Let our innovative solutions cover repetitive work while your custodial teams prioritize high-value and high-impact responsibilities, such as sanitizing individual and group work areas.
Capture critical context and make better-informed decisions with help from our near real-time, data-driven reporting capabilities. As our robots execute their tasks, you can directly view their performance and maintenance needs via our proprietary data and reporting platform, SoftBank Robotics Connect, enabling you to confidently complete SOPs, collaborate across your team, and better manage your robotic fleet.
Because our customers can use our solutions during working hours, our service robotics offer additional visibility and proof to office employees that they are in a clean and safe work area. Plus, our service robotics demonstrate your continued commitment to invest in the latest cleaning technology.
We provide guaranteed fixed-cost rates for defined time periods, including repairs at no cost to you. Our goal is to enable our customers to budget more accurately because they are balancing fixed expenses (compared to variable operational costs). In addition to improved planning and forecasting, our fixed-cost solutions help mitigate rising operations costs, boost workspace occupancy, and increase customer confidence in the quality of their cleaning services.
SoftBank Robotics’ solutions hone labor and productivity while staying mindful of the available budget. Deploy robots for the repetitive, dull, and occasionally hazardous cleaning tasks that currently occupy your team’s working hours and give them time back to focus on services that improve overall wellness and safety, including disinfecting group and individual workstations. In addition to greater staff engagement, you’ll foster a safer, healthier, and more rewarding workplace.
Both the workforce and custodial staff enjoy seeing our robotic solutions at work. They differentiate your facility as an exciting office space, and you’re better able to balance new technologies with worker motivation and retention.
Our solutions are visible proof that building occupants are in a safe and clean space, which contributes to their overall experience at work, enhances your reputation, and encourages maximum workspace occupancy.
As part of the largest technology fund in the world, our depth of robotic experience, research, and knowledge leads the market with over 35,000 robotic solutions successfully deployed in service industries globally.
