PRINCIPLE IMPLEMENTS DATA-DRIVEN CLEANING
AT THE BLUE FIN BUILDING
Principle Cleaning Services, the London-centric
cleaning and window cleaning specialist, which
provides its services to some of the most famous,
iconic buildings in the Capital, has partnered
with Essity UK to implement the Tork EasyCube
system at the Blue Fin Building.
Principle, which has cleaned the 500,000
sq. .,13-floor Southbank landmark since
2010, originally had pre-set cleaning rounds.
However, these led to over-cleaning in some
areas and under-cleaning in others, according
to the company’s General Manager Victoria
Jaramillo. Pre-set rounds also provided
limited flexibility to cope with visitor tra ic
fluctuations, which average more than 10,000
washroom visits a day.
“The need for cleaning correlates with
visitors. More people means more pressure.
When working with pre-set cleaning rounds it
was hard to adapt and match our operations
to the actual demands of the building,” says
Jaramillo.
To improve e iciency and cleaning quality at
the Blue Fin Building, Principle sought to utilise
48 DECEMBER/JANUARY 2019
real-time data and new technology. Tork EasyCube
the facility management so ware for data-driven
cleaning, was installed to provide real-time data on
cleaning and refill needs.
Data-driven cleaning has established a whole
new logic for cleaning. Connected devices
throughout the building collect real-time data on
visitor numbers and dispenser refill levels. Instead
of cleaning sta just going from one location to
another, they now know exactly which locations
have the highest cleaning needs. This enabled the
cleaners and management to work proactively and
do what’s needed, when and where it’s needed.
Principle now provides needs-based servicing
to each floor as necessary. “Today, we provide
a higher and more consistent cleaning quality.
Multiple cleaners across di erent shi s work
with the so ware to manage the cleaning across
the busy site. It is not that we do cleaning itself
di erently, but much more e ectively,” says Tom
Lloyd, Operations Director, Principle Cleaning.
Besides improving e iciency and quality for
Principle, the new system is also making life
easier for cleaning sta .
“Our workforce is incredibly skilled at what they
do and this new so ware helps them to focus
their time and e ort on the tasks that matter
most,” says Principle Account Manager Angelina
Hadj-Lazib. “Our operations across 500,000 sq
are complex in themselves and Tork EasyCube helps
us stay in control and respond to complaints before
they happen.”
