Invest in industrial linen services to overcome linen stock issues in hotels

Hotels in Australia are set to experience an upward trend in revenue. The hotel market in Australia is set to rake in a projected revenue of $6.91 billion in 2024.

With the hotel industry being such a lucrative market, and hotel owners becoming increasingly competitive to win over more guests, every aspect of a hotel’s operations must run smoothly and efficiently.

One of the most important contributors to increasing a hotel’s customer base is ensuring that their housekeeping needs are met. This also means that their linen inventory should always meet the required standards expected in a hotel and be readily available to ensure that guests are satisfied and comfortable during their stay.

While this may seem straightforward, the average hotel loses about 20-30% of linen stock annually, translating to a loss of $50,000, due to poor utilisation of linen items, wear and tear, and theft. This can disrupt operations and even deter guests from staying in the same hotel in the future.

This is why hoteliers should turn to industrial linen services, a cloud-based platform that helps streamline linen operations and ensure that linen stock is well-managed.

Let’s explore the various ways this technology can help hotel managers avoid linen shortages or overstocking.

Bundle Connect is a cutting-edge laundry management system designed to enhance linen handling efficiency for businesses. This advanced technology leverages cloud capabilities to read information from RFID chips embedded in linen items, providing real-time location tracking and significantly reducing the likelihood of lost items due to theft or misplacement.

By utilising Bundle Connect, businesses can substantially reduce their expenditure on replacing lost items. The user-friendly interface allows customers to easily place orders through the software, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.

The system automates billing, invoicing, and delivery requirements, ensuring a precise order-to-invoice process. Additionally, it alerts linen managers when stock levels reach below the established level, enabling them to place orders for more inventory and avoid overstocking or stockouts.

Bundle Connect also provides valuable insights into linen usage, including the number of times an item has been laundered and when it is nearing the end of its shelf life. This information empowers linen managers to make informed decisions about the quality of linen used in daily operations, ensuring optimal efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
