Cover Story: Why Facility Executives Choose Their BSC
Contracting Profits and BSCAI are surveying facility executives — aka BSC customers — about how they choose their contract cleaning provider. Questions examine the criteria influencing contractor selection, including certifications, market reach and staff professionalism. The survey also addresses service bundling and reasons that justify facility executives paying higher prices for cleaning. We'll also gauge interest in future cleaning technology such as robotics and Internet of Things.
Peer Groups
Industry peer groups create sounding boards for building service contractors to improve their businesses and avoid pitfalls. These groups are comprised of three or four contractors from across the country and similar in size and revenue. This article will describe how to form a peer group and some of the advantages to having a close relationship with industry peers.
Distributor Choice Award Winners
Instead of a regular product section, we'll showcase the 40 winners of the 2019 Sanitary Maintenance Distributor Choice Awards. BSCs will be interested to know which products are preferred and recommended by jan/san distributors.
Floor Care Machine Advancements
The cleaning robot market is predicted to grow to $4.34 billion by 2023. Although this figure is primarily in the residential sector, availability and use of autonomous floor care equipment is growing in the professional cleaning industry. This article will talk with contractors who have adopted autonomous equipment and facility executives demanding the use of robots in their contracts.
