Many building service contractors (BSCs) outsource their window cleaning to professional window cleaning companies due to liability and safety concerns combined with the perceived complexity of the task at hand. However, with new technology, all BSCs can profitably clean exterior glass up to 50 feet without the past safety risks.

 Keeping track of the inventory it takes to support a successful business is no easy task. But today’s progressive technology can make the job easier by providing automated ways to track the different products used and sold in your business.

The contract services industry has changed vastly over the last decade as business owners and managers within organizations strive to stay on top of the current workload, as well as look for ways to obtain new sources of revenue. One of the biggest changes to this “not-so-technology-oriented industry” is the need to embrace technology in order to keep the focus on serving customers with exceptional service.

Statistics and experience demonstrate that 80 percent of what we have we never use. In a time when businesses desperately need to reduce costs and increase productivity, keeping “information clutter” makes no sense.

We surveyed several companies in the United States and Canada to see how cleaning companies are increasing their revenues in this tough economy. There is one key element that all of these companies are using—technology!

In the last five years to 10 years, the cleaning industry has undergone more dramatic change in the areas of technology and new products than in the past 50 years. The green movement has grown dramatically, and the progression in technology has led to better training and more competition.
