How This Automation Works
Maintenance interval reached or floor condition threshold detected → Strip and wax job scheduled and crew dispatched
Maintenance Interval Monitoring
The system continuously tracks maintenance schedules for all locations, monitoring days since last service, floor traffic patterns, and predetermined maintenance intervals. When a location approaches or reaches its scheduled maintenance window, the system flags it for scheduling.
Work Order Creation
Upon reaching the maintenance threshold, the system automatically generates a work order containing location details, floor specifications, required services, access information, customer preferences, and any special instructions from previous service notes.
Resource Availability Check
The system queries crew schedules, equipment inventory, and material stock levels to identify available resources. It verifies crew certifications match floor type requirements and confirms necessary equipment and supplies are available for the scheduled service date.
Optimal Crew Assignment
Based on location proximity, crew expertise, current workload, and customer preferences, the system assigns the most suitable team. It considers travel time, previous service history at the location, and balances workload across available crews for maximum efficiency.
Schedule Optimization
The system identifies the optimal service date and time window based on customer availability, facility access restrictions, crew schedules, and route efficiency. It groups nearby locations when possible to minimize travel time and maximize daily productivity.
Customer Notification
Automated notifications are sent to customers confirming the scheduled service date, expected arrival time, crew details, and preparation instructions. The system sends advance notice, reminder messages, and day-of confirmations to ensure facility access and readiness.
Dispatch and Calendar Update
The confirmed job is added to the dispatch calendar with all relevant details. Crew members receive job assignments with location information, access codes, floor specifications, equipment requirements, and estimated completion time. The calendar updates in real-time across all platforms.
Pre-Service Preparation
The system generates pre-service checklists, ensures equipment is staged and ready, confirms material availability, and sends final reminders to both crew and customer. It also updates route maps for efficient travel between multiple job sites.
How It Works
Transform your floor finishing operations with intelligent strip and wax scheduling that eliminates manual coordination headaches. This system automatically tracks maintenance intervals for each location, monitors floor condition based on traffic levels, and schedules strip and wax services at optimal times. It coordinates crew availability, equipment needs, and customer preferences to create efficient routes and minimize disruption. Automated notifications keep customers informed, while real-time updates ensure your team always has the latest schedule changes. Perfect for commercial floor care providers managing multiple properties, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail locations requiring regular floor maintenance. The system learns from historical data to predict optimal maintenance cycles, preventing premature floor wear while avoiding unnecessary services.
The Trigger
The system monitors maintenance schedules based on predetermined intervals (monthly, quarterly, annual) or tracks floor condition indicators like traffic patterns, visual inspections, or customer requests. When a location reaches its scheduled maintenance window or condition threshold, the trigger activates automatically.
The Action
Upon trigger activation, the system creates a work order, checks crew availability and equipment inventory, assigns the optimal team based on location and expertise, schedules the job during approved time windows, sends customer notifications, updates the dispatch calendar, and provides the crew with location details, access codes, and specific floor care requirements.
