CleanTelligent Enhances Janitorial Software Solutions with Infor Birst
CleanTelligent Software, a company that aids in-house and contracted janitorial teams in streamlining communication and improving quality control, faced a significant challenge. Their clients were demanding a more dynamic way to present reporting data. The company's software was primarily used to analyze and summarize a custodial team's performance, replacing a highly manual, paper-driven process. However, the initial differences between service providers in the janitorial industry are often unclear, and the cost of switching is comparatively low.
