Freespace case study
The solution.
Freespace helped to plan the spaces available within the law firms office environment:
- Ensuring available desks and shared spaces were socially distanced to reduce the risk of transmission from person to person.
- The deployment involved installing intelligent SPOT Tags across 60 restrooms, kitchens, and cellular office spaces at the New York HQ.
- SPOT Tags enable each location to be uniquely identifiable within an office space and across real estate.
- The law firm’s cleaning teams were issued Freespace Cleanreaders to provide auditing software and automated cleaning schedules.
As part of the return-to-office solution, cleaning teams received a daily electronic program of cleaning tasks, structured as a logically sequenced workflow from one space to the next:
- Job lists and workflow sequencing are automated and completed electronically at exact space locations. With this system, cleaners work through their schedule, scanning SPOT Tags before starting a clean and then again on completion.
- A simple process to document the time and dates of every space cleaned, supporting cleaning supervisory and quality audit regimes.
The introduction of the Freespace dashboard and reporting tools allowed cleaning supervisors and facility managers to visualize essential cleaning performance data – informing space cleaning status and completion by day.
