IoT Enabled and Responsive Cleaning 

The inclusion and adoption of internet of things (IoT) devices has transformed the way we manage cleaning operations. Sensors, NFC tags, QR codes and connected devices now capture live data on occupancy, washroom usage, air quality and bin fill levels. This data allows cleaning teams to clean by demand, not by diary, driving a proactive service delivery. 

At Sodexo, IoT has allowed us to move from reactive cleaning to a truly responsive model. Supervisors can now redeploy staff based on real-time usage analytics, ensuring resources are used where they have the greatest impact. 

The outcome is improved user satisfaction, measurable efficiency gains and reduced environmental footprint. One recent Sodexo pilot site recorded between 15-20 per cent reduction in reactive call-outs after sensor-enabled deployment.
