A Leading Distributor Adopts Tennant's T16AMR Robotic Floor Scrubbers
Veritiv, a leading distributor of facility solutions, packaging, and print products, helps customers provide clean, healthy, and productive facilities. Veritiv leverages extensive industry knowledge and a robust global network to serve diverse sectors, including healthcare, food/beverage, retail, and manufacturing.
To optimize operations, Veritiv initiated an equipment refresh in 2021, initially deploying six of Tennant’s T16AMR robotic cleaning machines. This strategic move boosted cleaning efficiency across their North American facilities while also pressure testing a solution that Veritiv offers its customers.
Challenge
Veritiv faced common challenges such as productivity, worker safety, rising labor costs, and aging technologies. Ryan Cote, a Veritiv Facility Solutions Product Specialist, conducted a return on investment (ROI) analysis that underscored advantages for replacing manual labor with automated solutions. Veritiv researched various suppliers, bringing them to Tennant.
Solution
Tennant’s comprehensive approach addressed Veritiv’s challenges head on, which led to the selection of robotic cleaning equipment, specifically the T16AMR. The robotic scrubber’s ability to handle large spaces efficiently with fewer units made it the clear choice for Veritiv in terms of safety, effectiveness, and cost-efficiency. With a wealth of experience in autonomous cleaning technologies and a steadfast commitment to innovation, Tennant stood out as the right supplier of facility cleaning machines for Veritiv.
