Visionstate and Bunzl Canada Launch National Hygiene Compliance Platform
June 18 2020 - 7:24AM
Visionstate Corp. (TSX-V: VIS) (“Visionstate”) is
pleased to report that its partner Bunzl Canada (bunzlcanada.ca)
today announced the phased roll-out of the WandaMOBILE™ digital
cleaning management system to major distribution centres across
Canada.
As an essential link in Canada’s grocery,
safety, and cleaning & hygiene supply chain, keeping its
buildings and vehicles clean and hygienic to protect both employees
and customers is vital for Bunzl. However, like most organizations,
the national distributor struggled to easily verify and validate
cleaning program compliance. To solve that problem, Bunzl
collaborated with its development partner, Visionstate IoT, on the
WandaMOBILE™ application.
Accessible from any mobile device, WandaMOBILE™
contains the specific cleaning protocols for each warehouse
facility and vehicle fleet, including both tasks and frequencies.
Staff can easily enter cleaning activities as they are completed.
Managers can quickly and conveniently view compliance dashboards to
verify the necessary activities are taking place to keep facilities
clean, healthy and safe. The system is designed to focus cleaning
efforts, improve effectiveness and promote compliance in any type
of facility.
According to Bunzl’s Senior Director of
Operations, Tim McKinnon, the program pilot was highly
successful. “We began this initiative in our Mississauga, Ontario
facility. The first month was a learning curve – as expected,
it took our team some time to get used to a new way of doing
things. But by week four we had our cleaning program running so
well, our compliance rose to over 100%, and the feedback from our
management team and employees was really positive. Now we’ve begun
a phased roll-out, beginning with our five largest distribution
centres across the country.”
“WandaMOBILE™ is a powerful compliance
management tool that helps to raise the standard of cleaning and
hygiene in public spaces,” said John Putters, CEO of
Visionstate. “The feature-rich technology continues to
evolve to enable and support state-of-the-art environmental
management.”
John Howlett, President of Bunzl
Canada and a passionate proponent of the system, said it
will be implemented in all of the company’s office and warehouse
locations by the end of the year. “If you can’t measure it, you
can’t manage or improve it,” he said. “The health and wellbeing of
our employees and customers is our top priority and foremost
concern. Digitally managing and monitoring cleaning program
compliance enables us to maintain a cleaner, healthier and more
hygienic work environment for our employees. That protects our
customers and gives them confidence when our vehicles arrive with
their critical supplies.”
WandaMOBILE™ is a component of the WandaNEXT™
system, comprised of robust analytics software and data collection
components that include touchscreen tablets, infrared traffic
counting units, the new mobile application and IoT alert buttons.
Its configuration can be customized to meet specific facility
management needs. The system’s growing installation base includes
healthcare, retail, commercial office, conference, airport and
distribution facilities across Canada and the United States. It was
also recently launched in the United Kingdom and Australia.
