In Depth

Models range from single daytime porters to multi-shift teams with overlapping day and night coverage. The right model is derived from building size, traffic, and the hours cleanliness must be maintained.

Why It Matters

The coverage model is the main lever between under-served, dirty buildings and over-staffed, over-budget ones. It directly shapes both service quality and contract cost.
