Smart Restroom Solutions to Cut Costs and Save Time

Smart restrooms: the future of Facility Management

Smart restrooms are not just a fancy upgrade - they're a practical solution that helps businesses save both money and time. By incorporating technology like sensors, connected devices, and real-time monitoring with data, smart restrooms can address common challenges faced by facility managers and cleaning teams.

Tools for supply monitoring

One of the biggest cost-saving benefits comes from reducing wasted resources. Sensors monitor usage patterns and alert staff when supplies like toilet paper, soap, or paper towels need refilling. This eliminates the need for routine checks and prevents overstocking or running out of essentials, which can impact customer satisfaction.

There are also digital solutions that allow occupants to report a lack of supplies when these are running low. In this case, you have two options: a connected device or a secure QR code.

Service requests device

With touchless buttons, users can easily request refills by pressing a button, instantly alerting cleaners or managers via SMS or e-mail about which supplies need attention.

Secure rolling QR codes

Taqt's rolling QR codes offer a simple interface with a highly effective solution. Users can simply scan the QR code which leads to a website where they can input their request: lack of soap, toilet paper, a need for maintenance…

Every 10 minutes, these dynamic QR codes automatically refresh, ensuring that each displayed code remains unique.

Tools to gain insights with real-time data

Time is money, and smart restrooms make maintenance faster and more efficient. Unlike traditional cleaning schedules, smart systems send alerts when specific areas need attention, allowing staff to focus on real needs. They also allow managers to view the data in real-time, usually via an online dashboard, software or reports. This targeted approach minimizes wasted time and makes labor efforts more productive, ultimately lowering staffing costs.

Tools like Ubiqod allow you to connect your trackers (such as a digital timesheet or a secure QR code) to your software via a cloud-based dashboard. On Ubiqod, you can create and set up your trackers from anywhere, follow your data in real-time and sync it to your favorite tools, from Google Sheets to monday.com.

Tools to cut energy bills

Energy savings are also significant. Smart restrooms can include features like motion-activated lighting and faucets, ensuring resources are only used when necessary. Over time, these small changes add up, reducing utility bills.

Smart restroom: enhance customer satisfaction

Lastly, investing in smart restrooms improves the user experience. Clean, well-maintained restrooms enhance customer satisfaction, which can boost your business reputation and even attract more visitors.

While it’s an investment to implement smart restroom technology, the long-term savings on supplies, labor, and energy quickly outweigh the initial investment. It’s a smart choice for any business looking to improve efficiency and cut costs. By adopting smart restroom solutions, your business can create a cleaner, more efficient, and cost-effective environment for everyone.
