CLEAN has announced a new partnership with PPHE Hotel Group (UK)

CLEAN has announced a new partnership with PPHE Hotel Group, which will see one of the largest implementations of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology between a hotel brand and a laundry service provider in the UK. CLEAN will initially launder bed linen and towelling and supply table cloths and napkins for eight of the group’s Park Plaza hotels nationwide. There are plans to extend the service to other Park Plaza hotels as well as supply chefs wear in the future.

PPHE Hotel Group, which has a portfolio of 39 owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, has equipped both its linen, as well as its Park Plaza UK managed properties with the latest RFID technology. RFID is transforming the efficiency of the laundry sector as it allows both CLEAN and PPHE Hotel Group’s housekeeping team to identify, locate and track every individual piece of their quarter of a million-items stock – no matter which stage they are in of the delivery, collection and laundering process.

The level of accuracy resulting from RFID will allow PPHE Hotel Group to be in complete control of its stock flow and ordering requirements. Soiled items will be counted by the installed RFID scanners, which automatically informs and allows CLEAN to schedule collection and deliveries of the precise quantity of items required, so the amount of superfluous stock required or held by the hotels is reduced.
