Bishop Clean Care
Bishop Clean Care in Leesburg, Georgia boasts a 70+ year history as a family-owned business and is redefining the janitorial and floor cleaning industry. Under the leadership of Jenny and Jud Savelle, Bishop Clean Care has embarked on an innovative journey, integrating Cobotics into its operations. This pivot is not only an adaption of how their business is responding to labor shortages, but a visionary step towards co-working with robots.
The Role of Cobotics in Modern Cleaning
The integration of Cobotics into Bishop Clean Care's services addresses the challenge of maintaining high-quality cleaning standards amidst personnel shortages. This strategic move, spearheaded by Jenny, is driven by an unwavering commitment to innovation and improvement. It aims to bridge the labor gap efficiently without compromising the quality that clients have come to expect.
“How do you get somebody to clean a building that you don't have a person for? So that's how we started to venture into automation," Jenny shared during our interview.
The introduction of Cobotics opens a world where machines work alongside human staff, enhancing capabilities and expanding reach rather than replacing the current workforce.
Empowering the Workforce through Innovation
For Bishop Clean Care and Jenny Savelle, this technology represents a significant shift in the janitorial landscape—redefining the role and skills of their staff. Their cutting-edge approach has allowed her team of nearly 100 to move beyond repetitive tasks and focus on managing and collaborating with autonomous robots. It promotes a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, ensuring that the human workforce remains an integral part of innovative cleaning solutions.
“Instead of someone who is having to mop repeatedly daily, they're now cleaning the offices while working and programing or supervising a robot to do the hallways while you clean the offices. So again, a very good scenario of co working with robotic solution.”
Cultivating Partnerships with Purpose
At the heart of their success is alignment with partners that share the company's core values of exceptional customer service and innovation.
These partnerships have been instrumental in seamlessly integrating Cobotic solutions into operations, elevating cleaning standards across various environments. The adoption of Cobotics has proven particularly beneficial in hospitals, hotels, educational institutions, and nursing homes, where cleanliness is essential.
In a strategy to increase these partnerships, the company has pursued minority-owned and women-owned certifications. These third-party certifications help the organization compete for contracts and bids with companies and organizations who seek to partner with diverse-owned businesses.
“Certifications are important because they validate you, but that’s not all I have to offer. At the end of the day, it’s about qualification, about performance, it's about what you can deliver and let your work, show what you've got.”
Looking to the Future
The vision for Cobotics at Bishop Clean Care is a future where robots with diverse functionalities operate cohesively under human supervision. This goal to revolutionize cleaning services is a testament to the company's passion for advancing technology while preserving the human touch that has marked its success.
“Our goal is to continue educating and providing solutions for co-working with robots and your existing workforce.”
Bishop Clean Care, with Savelle at the helm, is not just cleaning spaces but is setting new industry standards, paving the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for all.
