Operational Excellence Lead, Sodexo

Sodexo, renowned for its exceptional work ethic and service quality, faced challenges in ensuring consistent adherence to their operational protocols. The primary issue lay in the manual completion of quality control checklists, which are crucial for maintaining high standards of cleanliness in client facilities. Reports of dissatisfaction from clients highlighted a gap in the execution of Sodexo's rigorous maintenance schedules, leading to a reevaluation of their process management. Investigations pointed to the practice of filling out checklists either too early or only after tasks were supposed to be completed, raising concerns over the authenticity of task completion and compliance. This realization prompted Sodexo to seek a digital solution to streamline their operations, enhance transparency, and uphold their commitment to delivering top-tier service by ensuring tasks are performed accurately and on time.

Challenges

  • The company is unable to ensure genuine compliance.
  • Requirement for continuous human supervision.
  • Reliance of security, engineering, and housekeeping teams on pen-and-paper checklists.
  • Impedance to communication due to over dependence on Whatsapp, Emails and calls.
  • Laborious record retrieval hindered the communication of the real problem.
  • Paper-based record-keeping clashed with three-year audit compliance needs.
  • Significant managerial time spent on operations review.
  • Couldn’t verify timely completion of checklists
  • Difficulty in asset and contract management.

“Life has become easy as work is very well divided and processes can be tracked easily from Head Office leading to great visibility and confidence.”
