Amid this pandemic, there is a steep rise in equipment & systems to fight the deadly virus. Bring to fore the approaches ServiceMaster to stay relevant in the highly competitive domain?
ServiceMaster, as an FM company, falls under the service sector. The service industry will only benefit if it rises and navigates its business line of operations based on current and upcoming market/customer needs. ServiceMaster has always believed in providing solutions over services as the key differentiator. ServiceMaster exclusive programs would, therefore, touch pain areas like infection prevention and control, employee/guest health and safety, resource productivity, and ROI – mid-term & long-term.
Kindly elaborate on the top-notch facilities and offerings the company is rolling out to its clients? Highlight its USP?
ServiceMaster has rolled out the Smart Surface Disinfection Program (SSDP), which replaces the old traditional mop and bucket system cleaning. This technology uses the latest microfibre carts with pre-wet systems, replaces the standard cleaning agents with clinical lab-tested disinfectants to ensure a infection free/Hygiene environment. Further, this is validated through a scientific digital swab test method to verify the sterile status.
ServiceMaster with its technical partners have also launched the Antimicrobial Surface Treatment “Life Shield”, which replaces all the one-time sanitization services. Once applied through a proper process, this potent technology keeps the space sterile and infection transmission free for the next 90 days. This is again validated through an instant swab test to verify microbial load per square inch.
Additionally, ServiceMaster offers Indoor Air Quality Solutions by harnessing the power of UVC in the HVAC and air filtration system sterilizing the air that we breathe in an enclosed centralised air-conditioned environment. For individual, Isolated and people concentrated areas, ServiceMaster has launched Upper Room Germicidal UV which creates a mesh above 8 ft and decontaminates the air with suspended microbes, This further reduces the risk of any Airborne Infection Transmission.
While automotive companies like Mercedes are turning to manufacture artificial air supply systems, it's obvious the competition bar is raised a notch. Tell us how ServiceMaster differentiates in this segment full of migrated providers?
