How you gather, manage and use information
will determine whether you win or lose."

----- Bill Gates, 1993

In today's fast-paced business environment, no business would dream
of competing without accurate and up-to-date information. Sound
business decisions are made with the aid of accurate information.

Just as financial managers use software to model financial
projections and sophisiticated accounting software to maintain
accurate financial information, so to must the housekeeping
department manage its information in a fast changing environment.

In these tight financial times, housekeeping managers must know,
accurately, how to maximize their resources and how to custom
design service levels to reach a satisfactory balance between
appearance level and cost.

Guesswork and approximations are no longer adequate in planning
and delivering a sanitary environment in today's uncertain world of
emerging diseases and weaponized biological agents.

Activities must be documented to provide confirmation of acceptable
performance for internal auditors or to third party licensing agencies,
concerning training, quality assurance or service delivery frequencies.

Maybe You Don't Need Housekeeping Software


Housekeeping Software will not keep your floor shiny or remove the dust from behind doors and inside vents.
It will not make your employees come to work on time or do a good job once they’re at work. It will help you
to maintain the information documenting all these things, but it won’t actually do the work.

You may not need housekeeping software – ours or anybody else’s. Housekeeping software requires a commitment
of time and resources to load and then maintain your data. Your datafile, containing QA scores, square footages,
floor surfaces, employee assignments and other information needs periodic updating, or the software becomes useless.
If you don’t want to spend the time to keep your software data current, then you should not purchase housekeeping
software – anybody’s housekeeping software.

Additionally, don’t purchase and install housekeeping software, if all you need is an accurate analysis of your staffing
and a little direction for the Housekeeping Department. If you're interested in a staffing analysis and some guidance
for the housekeeping department, visit our Staffing Analysis Page.

Why are we telling you this? We want you to make the right decision for your facility. Housekeeping software might
get you the information you need, but at a cost you’re unwilling to maintain over the long run. If you purchase and
implement housekeeping software only to let it go into disuse a few years later, what benefit have you gotten?
Purchasing and installing housekeeping software when you don’t really need it is like hunting squirrels with a cannon.
You may get your squirrels, but with a lot of overkill.

Software Implementation Options

HSI offers different options for implementing its HSI Custodial Solutions Departmental Management Software and
its Quality Assurance Inspection Software.

Full Implementation - (Fastest Way to Begin Using the Power of HSI Custodial Solutions)

HSI will configure the beginning data to match your specific service level requirements (tasks and performance
frequencies for each area type). An HSI Implementation Team will arrive at your facility to gather information
that will allow them to develop an accurate database of all spaces at your facility, every employee and each
work assignment. The team will research the time employees spend performing non-cleaning tasks such as
clerical, furniture moving, incinerator operation, etc. and variable workloads such as hospital discharges, after-
school or special event staffing, etc. will be studied in order to develop the database of these tasks accurately.
See the article Why Database Development is So Important, on the Articles & Reports page.

HSI will help you decide who should do what with HSI Custodial Solutions. Managers, supervisors, clerical personnel, training
specialists and supply specialists all have a role in using HSI Custodial Solutions. This will insure that several people understand
how to use the power of HSI Custodial Solutions and will build a strong base of knowledge within the department. When the
database is complete, HSI will train end users in their various duties during an intensive training course at your
facility lasting 2~4 days (depending on the end user group size).

HSI will return to your facility two or three more times during the next twelve months for additional advanced
training. These training sessions are designed to increase the knowledge of end users over time and will explore
ever more advanced features of HSI Custodial Solutions. These training sessions typically last 1~2 days each. After
the initial twelve month period, you may renew the On-Going Support agreement for a small fee and HSI will continue
making on-site training trips.

Partial Implementation - (Most Economical Way to Begin Using the Power of HSI Custodial Solutions)

HSI will configure the beginning data to match your specific service level requirements (tasks and performance
frequencies for each area type). An HSI Implementation Team will arrive at your facility to train selected
individuals, whose responsibility it will be to develop the majority of the database. See the article
Why Database Development is So Important
, on the Articles & Reports page.

may renew the On-Going Support agreement for a small fee and HSI will continue making on-site training trips.
When the database is complete, HSI will train end users in their various duties during an intensive training course
at your facility lasting 2~4 days (depending on the end user group size) so long as an On-Going Support agreement
is current.
