The blog project has been up and running for a few months now. In this time we've had the chance to talk about disinfection, how to choose the right machines for our laundry and get the most out of them, and about how to set up efficient premises. So, what about connectivity? Technology today plays a fundamental role, offering us solutions and tools to make life a little easier. This is why here at Girbau we work hard for our customers to be able to benefit from the latest innovations in connectivity and technology to help them to set up and run their businesses and boost their profitability. In line with this, today we would like to devote the blog post to talking about how connectivity can help, for example, to run a business remotely, to make sure machines run the right programmes or detect and review any fault that could interfere with the washing process.
Sapphire, the key to boosting profitability.
Sapphire, Girbau's smart remote control software for running laundries, stands out for its intuitiveness and ease of use, and for its high degree of personalisation, allowing it to adapt to suit the needs of each business, including specific features for the commercial and vended segments. All this makes it possible to deal with incidents remotely and cut the costs associated with them. But what does all this mean in practice?
How does Sapphire work?
Commercial laundries require precise management and performance. The software analyses machinery parameters like disinfection, the evolution of water levels, temperatures and phases, among others, and extracts reports on cycles and production. Like this, Sapphire can help spot operational inefficiencies and enable the owner to decide on the best possible commercial strategy. It also identifies which days see the most volume of work and helps in taking strategic decisions accordingly, making it possible to cut costs and optimise the performance of the business.
In vended laundries, Sapphire instantly spots any irregularity in the machines, notifies the owner immediately via sms or email and allows them to solve the problem wherever they are and whatever device they are using. Like this, everything is resolved quickly and effectively, avoiding future problems, unnecessary journeys and giving clients added value as they get a better service. According to Girbau's calculations, Sapphire can save up to €2,500 a year and over 150 hours of problem-solving time. The software also makes it possible, for example, to allow a spin or a washing cycle or put a machine out of service to avoid further problems, all remotely, which means that in short the software boosts the business and saves time.
