Alepa is a leading retail operator in Helsinki, with 126 stores serving hundreds of thousands of customers annually and generating over 400 million in revenue.
The challenge
Alepa was facing challenges with traditional cleaning methods and bulky equipment that were inefficient for their fast-paced retail environment. They needed a solution that would not only improve cleaning efficiency but also optimize the use of staff time. To address this, they initiated a pilot program in 40 out of their 126 Helsinki stores, with the goal of enhancing cleaning processes and eliminating the need for chemical cleaners, ultimately seeking a more sustainable and effective approach to maintain cleanliness across their stores.
The solution
i-team partner Kristall Pro recommended the i-mop XL to transform store cleaning. This solution replaced outdated methods, ending the time-consuming and inefficient "Spaghetti Mop Shows." The i-mop XL improved cleaning effectiveness, streamlined the entire process, and empowered store personnel to maintain a cleaner environment without chemicals. This solution boosted operational efficiency and fostered a safer, cleaner space.
Results
- Time saved: 65%
- Water saved: 40%
The solution led to improved operational efficiency, a cleaner, safer environment, and significant sustainability gains.
