Technology: Investigating the Future

One of the most significant trends this year was the increasing integration of robotics, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT) into facility services. Janitronics has continued to leverage proven innovations like robotic floor scrubbers and autonomous equipment to enhance efficiency and address ongoing labor challenges. We’ve also made strides in exploring how IoT-powered monitoring systems can improve operational efficiency. By staying at the forefront of technology research, we are committed to being a trusted partner for our clients as these advancements become more accessible.

 

 

Renewing Excellence: Industry-Leading Certifications

A significant highlight of 2024 for Janitronics was the successful renewal of two prestigious third-party certifications: ISO and CIMS-GB (Cleaning Industry Management Standard-Green Building). Achieving these certifications underscores our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and delivering the highest quality of service to our clients.

 

We are particularly proud to have obtained the CIMS-GB certification with honors, a distinction that reflects the highest standard of operational excellence. What sets Janitronics apart is the fact that fewer than 1% of all building service contractors (BSCs) hold both ISO and CIMS certifications. This rare achievement places Janitronics in an elite category of industry leaders. It demonstrates our unwavering dedication to meeting and exceeding rigorous international standards.

 

These certifications are more than accolades; they represent our commitment to providing measurable results, ensuring accountability, and continually improving our services. They reinforce our position as a trusted partner for clients seeking exceptional facility service solutions.

 

Overcoming Workforce Challenges

Although the labor market remained tight in 2024, we continued to prioritize workforce development to attract and retain top talent. Through our proprietary Recruit, Train, Retain™ employee engagement platform, we’ve turned workforce challenges into opportunities, measurably improving employee retention and performance.

 

By prioritizing training and recognition, Janitronics has achieved a low turnover rate, enabling us to deliver more consistent results to our clients. With a customer retention rate exceeding 95%, our workforce development efforts benefit our team members and reinforce our reputation as a trusted facility services partner.

 

Health and Safety Remain a Priority

Although the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, its influence continues to shape our industry. This year, Janitronics reinforced its expertise in high-touch disinfection and enhanced cleaning protocols, particularly in sensitive environments like healthcare and education. By staying at the forefront of cleaning for health, we’ve maintained our position as a trusted advisor to clients navigating these complexities.

 

Looking Ahead

As we prepare for 2025, Janitronics remains focused on leveraging technology, strengthening our workforce, and building on our industry-leading certifications. With an eye on innovation and excellence, we’re excited to continue delivering exceptional service to our clients.

We extend our gratitude to our dedicated team members and valued clients who have been integral to our success in 2024. Here’s to a new year filled with growth, innovation, and new opportunities to redefine facility services!
