Clean-Slate Janitorial Services (http://www.Clean-Slate.ca), a Greater Toronto Area-based professional cleaning company that specializes in commercial office cleaning, retail maintenance, floor restoration, carpet cleaning, and construction site cleanup, is weighing in on the efforts of the business world going digital to cut back on paper waste.
“The adoption of digital software not only helps the environment, but increases workplace efficiencies. It’s actually a great thing to see so many offices focused on going digital and cutting out the need for paper,” says Sam Panousis, owner and operator of Clean-Slate Janitorial Services. “Any steps that can collectively be taken to help the environment are certainly positive.”
But going digital does more than just help the environment. Toronto is building the first completely digital hospital in all of North America and they acknowledge that fewer errors will be made on the floor, patient charts will automatically be updated, and check-ins for surgery will all be done via a kiosk. Panousis adds that creating a more efficient and effective system is a benefit of going digital that will directly impact the productivity of businesses, making it an all-around positive move.

Some companies are taking it one step further and encouraging mobile workspaces. Panousis explains that a system is set up in which all the necessary data is remotely accessible by the employee on whichever device they choose. This gives workers more flexibility when possible, and as long as assignments are completed, they can theoretically operate from anywhere.

“As far as inside of the office, adopting digital technology makes it easier to keep workstations clean,” Panousis concludes. “And when office cleaning services are required, their focus can be on more significant issues, such as floor cleaning and buffing, or deep carpet cleaning for coffee or other hard-to-remove stains.”
