Early on, it became very clear to Plastiflex that the world of IoT is a very different ecosystem compared to our traditional markets and value chains”; states Jenci Kurja, Chief Growth Officer at Plastiflex. “Besides the fact that the area of IoT is relatively new, fast growing and developing, we understood quickly that to be able to operate in an IoT ecosystem, partnerships are of utmost importance”. “We realized that we needed a partner in the areas of software, analytics and digital services. FacilityApps has all those capabilities and is an established supplier within the commercial cleaning industry.‘
Our team built a scalable App solution in which hardware, sensors and connectivity are integrated. This enables us to track & trace existing vacuum cleaners, utilizing them with a retrofittable piece of hardware which connects directly to the internet for live updates about when, where and how long a vacuum cleaner is being used. This unique data will give cleaning professionals advanced insights and enable them to make better decisions that will lead to a healthier building environment”.
