Compliance may sound like a dry topic, but at PPCS, it’s where innovation happens. It’s the intersection where technology, strategy, and trust meet.
We’re about creating environments that are not only clean, but safe and compliant in every sense. As a leading commercial cleaning and facilities service company in New Zealand, we promise our clients compliance, setting the stage for safe, hygienic and reliable environments across the country.
Our innovative approach to compliance is dynamic, where we develop procedures that adhere to the highest standards of health, safety and environmental practices, which in turn align legal obligations. Compliance is consistently evolving, thanks to technological advancements (including AI) and emerging industry trends.
Leveraging technologies and data
PPCS will explore new technologies that can enhance compliance efforts, including reporting on what is most important to clients.
Let’s explore how technology has changed compliance in the industry to this day. Digital platforms and mobile apps allow our team to track compliance checklists and document their work with timestamps and photos, resulting in true transparency and peace of mind. Long gone are the days of clipboards and loose pieces of paper.
The use of real time data cannot be under-estimated. It helps ensure that we are doing every step of the process correctly and up to regulatory standards. For senior management, it means we have instant access to how a contract is performing against expected standards, address any issues quickly and make sure that throughout the process there is visibility and accountability.
At PPCS we have worked hard to automate as much of our management system as possible. Some of these changes include the ability to automatically schedule regular audits, and notify relevant personnel of necessary updates, including corrective actions. The most impactful for PPCS is all inspections and audits are completed using a mobile app, automatically stored in the cloud and reported on through Power BI, saving time to analyse data instead of collecting it. Speaking of data – the rise of big data and predictive analytics has enabled a more proactive approach to compliance in the commercial cleaning industry. Data is analysed through various sources, including quality inspections, incident reports, and customer feedback allowing PPCS to identify trends and potential risks before they become compliance issues. As a company, we have become increasingly data-driven, and these analytics help in critical decision making, benefitting not only our clients, but also our staff.
