SOLUTIONS

Wood floors in specialty apparel chains are both an important brand attribute and an expensive asset to maintain. USM was able to enhance the client's brand image and better protect their assets by:

• "RightSizing" of floorcare frequencies from lower volume stores to higher volume street locations in bad weather markets within their existing budget!
• Smoothing out service frequencies across the year to ensure higher completion of services.
• Using USM's field team to validate flooring information by type, SF and condition. The asset data updated the client’s asset registers and helped create their Capex strategies.

Leveraging specialized expertise in wood floor care and field resources, USM was able to achieve the client's objectives of improved appearance and asset protection; standard but flexible SOW's; and improved visibility into their fleet’s assets and conditions.
