EvercleanOS is a solution developed by Droople to optimize cleaning schedules through the collection of restroom usage data. By analyzing daily usage patterns, EvercleanOS calculates optimal cleaning times based on a maximum allowed number of visits between cleanings. This threshold is customizable for each space according to service agent feedback.
Smart Scheduling and QR Code Integration
When service agents scan the QR code, they can input the current state of the space. The system matches the scan with the closest scheduled cleaning time and updates the cleaning schedule, ensuring accuracy even if scans are not performed exactly on time. Agents can also mark scans as 'Out-of-Schedule Interventions.'
Example
If an area is cleaned at 6 AM (not part of the Everclean schedule) and the next scheduled cleanings are at 9 AM and 10:30 AM:
If marked as out-of-schedule: The last clean is shown as 6 AM and the next as 9 AM.
If not marked as out-of-schedule: The system assigns the scan to the 9 AM cleaning, making the next clean at 10:30 AM.
